@vixtionary Ah how wonderful you’ve elected to show yourself on an optimism post and NOT send one in for yourself--
:^)
cracks fingers--
Alright, everyone, listen up and listen good. This blog would literally not exist if not for Billye. Literally I can equate everything to this good bean. I had such AWFUL writing anxiety and I didn’t feel good enough. But Billye and Swain were the ones that kept me hanging on. Top three favorite threads on my multi? You should already know that ours was in that list but in case it wasn’t obvious our threads were always one of my favorites. Even when I was going through the worst of my writing anxiety/depression, my adoration for Sona remained, and I attribute that largely to our threads, theory crafting sessions, and the back and forth of memes, music links, and art we would share. Out of all my muses, my love for Sona remained, and I think it’s because you were around back then to inspire me, to push me to be the best I could be.
I was always so excited to chat because honestly? Billye, you as an individual are amazing and I love shooting the shit and chatting about anything and everything with you. I said it the other day but I’ll say it again--I really am grateful to the high heavens that we met and I consider you a dear friend in this community. For all the love and support you’ve shown me and Sona, I thank you, and truthfully I wish I could do more to show you that love and appreciation. I think about these two often and lord knows I draw them or things about our threads often. You’re simply one of those writers that bring out this insatiable appetite in me as another writer--each time we reply to each other, I find myself eager to read, excited to reply, and to ensure I’m always dishing out something that you can enjoy as well, and I always do my best to always improve because I want to be the best I can be. For you and Swain, for everyone else who follows me, and for Sona herself.
You have encouraged me throughout the many months, even when I go quiet cuz life gets too hard. Honestly, the end of last year was SUPER rough on me, but you were always there, inspiring me from the sidelines with words of kindness and support. I’ll never be able to repay that, but I’ll do my best to be a pillar of trust and support for you whenever you need it, Billye. Never stop being such a sweetheart and a reliable friend, never stop writing, and never think for a moment you are not a beloved member of this community. <3
