It is said, to pay it forward in life, so that others can have the chances that we have been blessed with ourselves. That is what my journal entry will be about today.

dA has a since of community that facebook and other social media outlets just don't have. When you connect on them, you search for your friends and loved ones, and you share a whole bunch of meaningless photos that circle around back to you, two or three times. Here you share your heart, soul, and the entirety of yourself, every single day you post your deviations. That is what art is, it's not a pretty picture or a little sonnet but it is you, all of your being, that you are revealing to strangers, who decide that they love who you are so much by what your soul reveals, of itself, that they want to follow you. So strangers, learn so much more about one another than your existing friends or family know or want to know about you. Now that is paying it forward. Everytime you hit the, add to favorites, or even gift a silly little llama, you are paying it forward. Not to mention when you decide that the work you have seen from a complete stranger is so utterly amazing that you just have to see more of it, so you select the most amazing button, +watch. That tells that person, they are so great, so worth while, that you, someone who doesn't even know them, is willing, nay, desires to see more, of who they are. Now that is paying it forward. I am not rich, so I can't offer points, and I am no expert in my field, but I can tell you my opinion and if you watch me I will sure as hell watch you back and give you a silly little llama, because though they are silly, they are just fricken awesome!

Now go out there, and look at a complete strangers soul, and tell them that they are worth a llama, a favorite, or even a second glance. I know that some people don't want thank yous for every single llama or favorite they dish out, but me, you can thank me till the cows come home driving a car, and I will alway tell you that you are most welcome, because it is the thank yous, that tell me on some tiny little level, that I have made your day a tad bit better, and that is what really actually matters in the grand scheme of things, not what I get out of my life but what I am able to do to make yours a little better, a little brighter.
