TEDDY STAWP MAKING ME CRY!
*Hugs Teddy and cries*

In addition to what Teddy said, I would like to add my own thank you to all of you:
You people are amazing. That night in March, I had just about resigned myself to the fact that the only "friends" I'd ever have would be the ones I have at school. Honestly, being with them is like baby sitting, if the kids you babysit are Republican racist homophobic 14-year-old boys. I come home every day with a headache, after a long day of being told by them I'm things like "awful", "a demon", and "that quiet nerd who'll kick your ass if you say 'retarded'". Also, "radish," but I don't know why.
I used to deal with that headache by crying. And believing I really was awful (but I never fully believed I was a radish. I may never believe that one...). Now I come home to people who love me and actually make me believe that there are good people in the world, that I have friends, and that maybe my art will be good enough to get me into RISD one day, after forever of being told by teachers and peers that caartoon wouldn't get me anywhere. You guys help me to hope and you make me smile when nothing else does. Thank you so so so much. *Sobs happy tears*
Love,
Sarah the apparent radish.
