My Dearest of Watchers,

I have been on the website for an entire year... meeting new friends, exploring new ideas, and advancing my career as an artist. I have improved greatly in terms of art and spirit, my eyes have been opened to a whole world of possibilities that I could never have imagined. Without the tremendous support from hundreds of people on this site, I would have quit long ago. First of all, I would like to mention all of those who have led with exceptional feats of friendship and all of those who I have gained enormous amounts of respect for because of their words and actions.

1) StarlightHL 
Your words of friendship from the near beginning of my life here was truly heart-warming, giving me a sense of warmth and comfort. Thank you for placing your trust in me, as I have placed mine for you. Thank you for giving me the chance to enjoy such a beautiful friendship, I wish you and KipAnimations have the strongest bonds and most inclusive of friendships for years to come.
2) Scarlet-Hawke 
Your support and association with my profile began with the name "Smosh," didn't it? Now that I have gotten to know you better, I can see how you cope with your daily life and how hard it must be to stay strong. To think that you can be that strong, I am glad you are on my side as a friend and ally. You care about what happens to me, and I know that you're there to support me, and I will be there to support you too.
3) Tienala 
Your words and support, usually daily, help me regain my confidence every day, giving me a new flame in my heart, day-by-day. Without it, I would have lost my self-esteem and ability to deflect pain. Thank you for filling an essential role in my life as a motivator and close friend.
4) RedtheKitsune 
Your presence and ability to make the website feel more friendly are truly astonishing, after you post a comment, I feel more welcome on this website, knowing that there are people like me who built friendships from scratch. Thank you for being a friend and a kind-hearted commentator. Since you mentioned it, I will be proud to meet you someday...
5) xxwhitewolfxx3 
Your critiques, words of advice, and ability to reach out and help others is uplifting, knowing that you put so much effort into helping others, I wonder if you do the same for yourself. You are a beautiful person who gives me a sense of community and courage. I am truly grateful to know you.
6) LupaWolfe 
Your comments, advice, and support have me believe in myself and give me a sense of strength and self-esteem. Ever since the beginning, you have been there to support me, you have not faded away. Thank you for being there for me, for being a friend and a warmhearted person.
7) make-tracks 
Your words, attentiveness, and constant kindness are all that I need to feel better in an instant, whenever you send a comment to me, I usually don't reply because I always want to see it in my notifications box when I turn on my phone. Thank you for giving me nothing but kindness and opportunity.
8) CrazyCriitter 
Your faves and your expressive comments revive my soul and give me a sense of gratitude for your kindness. Although we have not talked much for the past few weeks, I am still appreciative of your kind actions in the past. You are a unique person, who has a kind heart and a strong will, I am grateful that you are my friend.
9) Nasnency 
Your expressive words of kindness and warmhearted intent always enlighten me and brighten my day whenever I see them in my notifications. Not only are you an amazing artist, you are a human being with one of the biggest hearts I have ever seen, never let anyone ever tell you otherwise. You are an amazing person and an admirable friend.
10) xRedIvory 
Your notes, comments, and words of kindness give me an extra reason to wake up in the morning, when I was going through an extremely rough patch, you were there to talk it out with me. You are an amazing and beautiful person with an incredibly bright future. I, sincerely, thank you for being my friend, although I am not always around to say it.
11) TheOutli3R 
Your kindness, notes, and belief in me give me a sense of sheer happiness, knowing that made you happy meant the world to me. You are an amazing artist and a truly kindhearted woman, whenever I see your words in my reply section, it always melts my heart to see and read. I am grateful to have you as my friend.
