CHEESY RANT INCOMING YIPPIE
Hello everyone sooo things happened and I wanna talk about it this time and stop being a damsel in distress for once yayyayaya
I'm a member of @WingsofDarknessStudios and I've come across some older editing events (I've listed down below btw) from 3 years ago thanks to my V obsession lmao AND I HEARD THIS SONG AND SAW THE EDITS AND
ngl I hate being seen as vulnerable but those edits MADE. ME. VULNERABLE. A casual person would probably say 'some edits' are no big deal, but in my case, it's different. Here's why I think this video right here is my breakthrough and how I feel about everything nowadays:

I struggled a lot with finding my identity and where I belong for many years, even though I'm only 19. I've been editing for almost 7 years, this channel is actually a friggin timeline of every phase I've been through, literally grew up here. However, this channel was like all I had. For some reason I always had been the black sheep and I find comfort in individuality, but I fear judgement. In my silence through the years, some wounds healed, some stayed. Editing is also something that stayed, something that probably WILL stay for a long time. It's actually crazy how seeing a few GMVs can awaken motivation and that fiery passion in someone, personally I call this art :DD. This has been dwelling inside of me for months, but I wanna say that I feel like I'm complete now. No more struggles with identity. There's always gonna be highs and lows, but I've never felt this content with myself before in the past 7 years. I edited this video and if I could use it as a mirror, I would look into it and just...see my own reflection. Even though I'm running and hiding behind a character to express my pain and passion every time I edit, I can still hear myself shouting. With this, I'm finally putting an end to this chapter of my life. I feel proud of myself this once for at least getting this far. I wanna say thank you for all those people who inspire me, support me and bring more life to our favorite characters. XOXO
