Today marks Keeper's fifth year in AFF - five years of discovering and living her dreams.

Just by having a place where I could be free to unleash my creative side and share that side of me with you has brought me happiness and comfort.

Who would've thought I'd write stories or create posters and gifs and layouts and polymer clay sculptures? Sure, I'd learn to make them anyway and post it in Blogger or WordPress. It doesn't have to be here. But... see... if not for the acceptance and for the friendships I gained here, I don't think I'd grow into who I am now and I like this version.

Looking back, I sure have come a long way... And I am certain that I still have a long way to go. Oh, I have lots of growing up to do. I am aware of my shortcomings and how I frustrate you with my reports haha. But I can honestly say that I like who I am now and where I am.

We are a bunch of misfits - introverts who always felt out of place. At least that is true for me. But here in AFF, I found my place. (Well, it's either AFF or FB? Really. I am not into real life drama. If not for my unnies, I would have deactivated my FB a long time ago. It's kinda sad but at least I have somewhere to go.)

I hope that my presence has brought some comfort, entertainment, encouragement, peace (?) into your lives. (Otherwise, I don't really know why you are still friends with me haahha!)

I made this dream catcher (that still needs to be assembled) to remember that I've been living good dreams for five years now. I ought to make a dream keeper (whatever form or symbol that is) because while a dream catcher traps all the bad dreams/nightmares, one must find a way to protect the good dreams from the dream taker.

Compared to last year's celebration, this year is toned down a bit. I did plan on making five of something just like last year (four layouts and four video tutorials) but in the end, I decided to keep it simple this year. 

Thank you for the five years ^-^
