Connect The Dots Forum Welcome

Hiya everyone!

Welcome to the connect the dots group. I really want to learn about every one. Connection is all about understanding, so I want to understand all of you. So for the first connection is a question.

What is one event that has shaped you into what you are today?


My event is when I moved to a small island on the east coast, leaving behind the extended family, and moving to a place that I knew next to nothing about. I'm glad I did though, because I met some of the greatest friends I could ever ask for, and now I have a wonderful girlfriend as well. Moving was best because it allowed me to find people that normally I would have never known.

Discovering the internet.

First I joined a small, sonic art related site, that encouraged me to draw more. Then, I moved on to deviantART, where I rapidly improved and expanded my world of friendship. The internet saw every phase I went through, from hyperactive to goth/emo to where I am today. Seeing the majority of the internet making fun of emo people, I realized that I needed to be me without labeling myself. Without the internet, I don't think I'd be quite the same person I am today. Although I've had a lot of friends on the internet, they're pretty much beyond me now, though I still have one close friend.

And then there was moving to a small island on the east coast...

One event that shaped my life? Ha, my life's too boring for that. This little town is so boring, and filled with Yanks.

 

I suppose, though, joining a little art site called DeviantArt would be considered a major event; by joining that site, I opened myself up to hope, pain, friendship, loss, creativity, and depression. I met quite a few friends from all over the world on that site, and promptly lost them- all but one had other things to do, or didn't understand why I didn't think the way they did, or thought I wasn't worth their love.

 

It sounds sad, but it's really been an overall good experience for me; if I'd stayed away from dA, kept myself hidden away in this small town, and never tried to reach out, I'd be far more emotionally handicapped then I am now, and more untrusting of others who are different from me.

 

I still don't trust whiny people from cities/Texas, but I'm working on that...*wink*

There are many moments that have turned me into who I am today. There was meeting new friends, like my very-close guy friend that I met in PreSchool.

There was losing friends every other year because they had to move.

There was meeting new friends, and deaths in the family. (Yes, i think that my dog dying is a death in the family ;-; you know what i mean, ELEMIAH!)

And there was meeting the one friend that I have known for the longest time... 14 out of my 15 years of existence!

My parents have also changed me into who I am...

There was also that one day when I was told my dad was wanted dead by a few people... that changed my life FOREVER! And also seeing a pic of the guy who wanted him dead =(

ON A HAPPY NOTE!

Friends and my parents have made me into who i am... a hyperactive-excentric-happy-yet depressed-person who loves her friends dearly and would do absolutely anything for them! Caring for friends :3

oh god, there's a friendship speech haha.. i am not a freaky fish guy!
