Happy New Years!

Happy New Years to you all! I know there are only 3 more days to go, but I'm going to the beach today for New Years (because again, it doesn't snow in my country...it's like 82 degrees Fahrenheit outside) and the internet is like SUPER slow, so I'm coming back in January. January 2017, though! So, see you guys next year.  

In all seriousness, I joined DeviantART on February 17th, 2016 and I honestly thought I'd go nowhere with my art. But I posted so many drawings without even caring and I ended up making so many great friends. More and more people looked at my art over the months. I created an Invader Zim fan comic back in July and that got so many positive feedback, I just...I don't know how to thank you guys. Honestly. It's amazing to know you guys enjoy my content. And it's also awesome to know that if I'm having a bad day, I can always come back home and talk to my friends about it. Because of you guys, I'm still breathing. Holy shit, I sound like I'm dying.  But, that's honestly how I feel. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you guys. All the love, all the support...I just...cannot formulate words to describe how happy and grateful I am to have you guys supporting me and pushing me to do better with my art. I improved a lot ever since I joined DA, seriously. I've never had that type of motivation before. And it feels great.  

Thank you all for joining me on my journey. I hope I can make more people smile with my art this upcoming year. You guys are my life-support. My inspirations, my motivations...the greatest people I could've ever met. For all of those people who are reading this and struggled during this past year whether it was with art or their personal lives: I wish the best for you on this upcoming year. Stay strong. Life is tough. The world is not cheerful. It's a very nasty place with mean people who want to bring you down because they're miserable in their own lives. Nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it's not how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward--How much you can take and keep moving forward! You gotta be willing to take life's hits. That's the standard I had to live by to fight through my depression. My darkest days. The days that I wanted to forget about everyone else and die...Joining this site might have been the greatest, most therapeutic things I've ever done for myself. I just don't see you guys as "online friends" but rather..." my greatest friends." You guys are the best, seriously. I can't thank you enough.

I wish the best for you all in this New Year. Hopefully, 2017 will be a better year for all of us. 

Thank you all.
