Thank you for another year

Hello, all

Long time, no journal.

I just realized that my second year on DA is almost here Time sure passes by, especially when you're well and enjoying yourselves.

I know that two years isn't much compared to a number of you who've been here five, seven years or so But I just want to say that from my very first time here, and down through the months, I've met some really nice people who I'm really thankful for, and who are also still here. (Does that make us old friends now? )

I have had a lot of fun participating, giving, donating, supporting and cheering on. There's only one thing I can think : to thank YOU for all the great Deviant Art experiences

But I also remember some really cool people, who I used to talk to and had fun, shared art and LOLs but aren't here anymore . Some have deactivated their accounts. Some accounts are completely abandoned, it seems   So I can't help but wonder about this question that now comes into my mind. How long are WE all planning to stay here? Being banned, hacked and accidents aside of course... Are we planning to leave someday when we turn pro enough, be secure in our lives well enough to turn away from this place, get married, manage family and our every days? Or are we going to still rock here as we push 60? whatever it is,  I just hope that great parting day never comes... I really mean it

Thank you all (in advance) for another great DA year
