This past year wasn't the best of my life, but it was the most important for me so far. It allowed me to heal wounds I suffered from having to choose different paths from the people I loved most, but along the way, I met new people who have helped me regain hope in achieving my dream:
○ CherryRawNii : My greatest inspiration to strive for excellence in drawing. I started out terrible, but when I saw how much she enjoyed creating her drawings and refused to give in to a world that was beginning to succumb to generative AI, I decided not to give up either. I owe Dashiel's initial progress to her.
○ Mauricio Ortiz-Segura: After multiple rejections from different VAs for Dashiel (or not even getting a response from them), he was the one who agreed to help me, and I will be eternally grateful to him.
○ Mika Hyashiro: She helped me create one of the most beautiful drawings I could have ever received. She made me think deeply: it doesn't matter how much money I invest in something, but rather the impact that investment will have in the future… the difference between a project and a dream.
There are stages in life that are temporary; they don't seek to be eternal, nor do they intend to be. And although adapting to a new stage of life can be difficult, we cannot ignore that this new step will, in some way, transform us.

(I'm not good at writing these kinds of messages, haha… I should learn more from Farid Dieck for next year = =")
This will be a very, very small community… but I thank God that it at least exists. Thank you all!
