>>96266531I get you it's difficult to be yourself IRL for many factors, and specially you being a woman there's so many fake people waiting to take advantage of someone who's just looking to fit in or express themselves. I have learned so many things from watching and interacting with nijiEN, specially from Reimu is my beloved oshi and from Aia who has never been afraid to be herself. I have learned an immeasurable amount of things from the way this board has treated /nijiEN/ too; more subtle and brutal lessons regarding people's intentions and the purpose in which they interact with others.
At the end of the path that is all about my own self I found a path that leads me to other people and with everything I learned in the way there I found the means to support, help and uplift others around me. People like you who are bursting, almost ripping at the seams with genuine love for what you do; it's people like you who I learned to lend a hand and ear to. Whatyou do and how you communicate and integrate with others gives them so much hope and comfort and I wouldn't want to let you be overwhelmed by those who want to extinguish that in you.
And it all started with this little ghost. Your past doesn't make you who you are as long as you can change and learn from it and transform your bad experiences into something better for others.
So thank you for being around, and for being yourself ^^
