--- (i'd like to apologize as this may be sloopy and make no sense. but enjoy anyways <3) hi you :D this is a little message to all of you fantastic delights out there. because you guys deserve a bit of love and a bit of a pep talk. (ft. latte, my cat) firstly. you're trying. i don't know what you're trying to do or why, but you're trying. isn't that something to be proud of? that's the first step to do anything. and you might be like, "but izzy, i'm not trying. i gave up." well, there's no time like the present <33 i believe in you. don't ever, ever stop trying. second!! so. things didn't go out the way you wanted them too, it hurt. maybe it still hurts. maybe the hurt has left and you only have a lingering feeling left. and? what is stopping you from still doing the things you love and enjoy? thats right!! nobody! :D things are going to hurt and sting and it's gonna suck. you might cry. that's okay. but you know what? at the end of the day, you are still a lovely person. there are still people out there who want to talk to you! and if you don't think there are, i am here. <33 thirdly, thank you. i'm 99% you're human. if you're not, hello alien :D either way, you have or will change somebody's life. maybe you don't know it. maybe it hasn't happened yet. maybe you've forgotten. but, you are human. which means you have connections with other people. maybe they aren't strong. maybe you had them once but lost them. guess what? i'm willing to bet one of those people you had a connection with thinks of you. maybe not often, maybe very little. but they still thought of you. if you hadn't been there, they wouldn't have thought of you. point of the story? you've changed somebody's life, even if just the tinest bit. take comfort in that. :heart: finally. i am proud of you. i am proud of you because you are here, alive, and in well enough mind to read this. that's something. that's more than something. that's amazing. you have done great things, and i see that. i recognize that. i am proud of you for that. and i think you will continue to do so. your great work might not be big. they might not be fate altering. but they are beautiful and treasured. i am proud of you. <3 and. in the end. even if you believe none of these things apply to you, remember my cat. she dosen't care. she will love you and give you cat cuddles no matter what. <3 --- individual notes to people (will add more later): crowe!! <3 thank you for helping me out so much recently. i literally cannot thank you enough-- i'm so so happy to work with you, even if we speak very little :) () bee!! bumble!! angel!! i've missed you a lot. i'm happy that you're happy, and if you see this, i wanna let you know i'm thinking of you <3 () ATLAS GET OVER HERE :hugs: <333 i'm really sorry we haven't talked much, but i'm really proud of you and i'm grateful to be your friend. don't doubt yourself, you're doing great :)) () ozzy!! :DD thank you for talking and helping me out recently-- i can't put into words how much i appreciate it <33 () STOAT. you. are. amazing. you're nice and friendly and good at art and just slaying!! <3 don't underestimate yourself. you're wonderful dude :D () ever!! i'm sorry we haven't spoken recently </3 you've been a friend of mine for a while now, and honestly, a inspo too :)) thank you for being cool :D () tooorrrryyyyy <3 bro we also havent talked in /f o r e v e r/-- but i'm really happy to have known you, even if only for a little while :D you're cool and i have a feeling you have a lot of good headed your way :)) () ICEEEYYYYYY HIII :DD we also havent spoken but i hope you're doing well <33 you and pidge are some of my favorite people on scratch and you're so nice and goofy, i'm super happy to have the opportunity to know you <333 ()
