Wow...Ame, you are a beautiful human being and I hope you know that your life will always have purpose. You'll always have a community backing you, even when Pokemon Reborn's 19th episode comes out and you start your new project. I know for a fact that I'm not leaving... and although I haven't been in this community for that long, I've already felt the warmth and care that everyone here gives off. And that's a spectacular thing.
I truly hate the society we live in. But I think it's getting better though. Now that gay marriage has been legalized, society is taking steps in bettering itself...but we're not there yet, and we won't be for a long time. Ignorance is not something that easily dies out, unfortunately. There will always be those people who have the most incomprehensible thoughts about certain issues. And hey, sometimes we've got to live with that even if we strongly, strongly disagree with them. But ignorance does die out. Slowly...but it does. However, it's still alive...and commonly, many people of the LGBTQ community, for example, fall victim to such ignorance. But, Ame...when people of these communities surrounded by ignorance have no place to turn, Pokemon Reborn was here for them. You've created a safe haven for those discriminated against, and for those who simply just wanted to be a part of a community. You've impacted the lives of many with this game. You've created a tight, close communtity. What an accomplishment.
I understand where you're coming from when you say that you don't like celebrating your birthday. I'm not a big fan of it either. And that's okay. Your birthday doesn't have to be celebrated to know your importance in this world. And let me tell you, you are very important, regardless if you celebrate your birthday or not. It's okay to stray from what's "normal". Just be aware that you have a full community of people who care. Break the statistics, Ame. Much love.
