Happy Birthday dA! Sorry it's so late.
Being on dA helped me get through a lot of stuff. I could cry out for help and people would actually listen to me.
I could represent both my emotions and those of others here and not feel judged for it.
This was a drawing I worked on with a friend I made because of dA.
This one was my first deviation. I didn't think I would get much attention for it, but some people favorited it right away. It meant a lot to me.
I was able to try to help others when I joined this site too.
So, thank you dA, and may you last for many more years to come.
