How did seeing all those compliments on the Anniversary raffle make you feel?
Oh dear, I haven't even looked at the raffle thread, but I'll have to go do that now since I'd feel bad for not having a response to this...
==============================================
OMGosh... I'm gonna be honest here, I had to stop half way through for a few minutes because I was crying and couldn't read. It really is quite overwhelming for me because I'm not really used to getting compliments and 'm very shy about getting them which is a part of why I hadn't read through that thread yet. QvQ
I want to say to everyone who mentioned me in the raffle and all the people who come to my ask and show me support that I can't explain to you how much it means to me. I'm like a lot of you, I am shy and nervous about what other people will think of me and the things I say. I've known the anxiety of seeing someone has read your PM and waiting for a response and the utter terror of getting to know others in the community or just in general. Being an artist for a popular species, I also worry about how my actions and work will reflect upon the community I work for. Seeing how much everyone appreciates my work and even beyond that, the fact that my attempts to reach out and be nice to others, even though it is always scary to me, even to this day, have had such a strong, positive affect on the way you all see me is so encouraging and motivating, even when my non-virtual life has me scared and stressed.
I guess in short my answer to the question is that seeing all those compliments... it made me feel extremely honored to be a part of the plumerian staff and to have gained the good opinion of so many people.
Thank you all so much for everything that was said about me!
