September 1st, 1989. Dear diary: I believe I'm a good person. You know, I believe there's good in everyone... jk jk i'm going to get serious now; but if you got the reference, congrats! here's a cookie :3 (pls read it all!) ----------------------------------------------------------------- November 19, 2024. Dear scratch: 100+ is insane. I'm not going to go into detail, but due to a previous ordeal with a really tox!c and man!pulative IRL friend, I lost a lot of my self-esteem and self-worth. This was about a year ago, and since then, I still feel awful about it; almost as if it was my fault, and I should have reacted better, said the right things, been kinder and more understanding, etc. So the absolute support I'm getting from everyone... And I know, some of you might be thinking "it's nothing"...but for someone like me, who has had multiple previous accounts (literally, like, fourteen), all never getting more then 30+? This is huge for me. I truly cannot believe that I've reached this. And I don't want to do a banner contest or any kind of contest or raffle for this milestone, I just want to talk about it. People here complimenting me and my work, helping me reach 100+, ordering from me specifically at shops and including me in those "recreating banner styles" projects? It truly is the most amazing thing ever. Even people just saying "hi! hru?" to me is honestly really nice. This account and everyone here is really helping me get better and find my self-worth again, and for that, I cannot even express how thankful I am to every single one of you. Thank you to @fairbaby for being my first follower, and @rainbowmacaronl910 for being my 100th. I love all of you so freaking much. -Jayden
