Okay, this is going to sound very weird, I know.

I'm making a new account.

I realize that I've had this account for a few years now, and I have a lot of favorites on it and everything, but I have my reasons, and they are more important to me than all the favorites I have on here and the pride I have for being on DA for this long.

I created this account before I really knew who I was. I didn't know who I was, and so I just became whomever other people said I was. The squirrel thing became my identity somehow, and so I went along with it. Now, however, I'm becoming more intentional about everything I do, and in so doing I'm finding out who I really am, as opposed to who others say I am. There's nothing wrong with the squirrel persona at all. It's just a persona that I myself did not create, and therefore one that I don't want as the name of something as important to me as DA.

Also, I'm trying very hard to be a more honest person. This...is kind of a big deal for me. Pretty much no one knows how untruthful I am. If I get into a situation where I've messed up and I feel stupid...well, I just lie. And I've really been trying to stop that, because I realized that I tend to turn it around so that the other person feels stupid, and that's hurtful. Ever since I created this account, I've told people that I spelled "thief" that way because thief spelled the correct way was taken, when actually that is not true at all. I just messed up and made a stupid mistake. And anyone who knows me knows how much incorrect spelling bugs the heck out of me.

So, because of these reasons, I am creating a new account. It will be called intheeventofRain. It will a) be spelled correctly, b) be based on the person I am instead of the person others say I am, and c) be intentional. I am planning to make in on Thursday, so when you all see a friend add from intheeventofRain, it's me.


That's all. I'm out.


--EDIT--

I just realized that the time is kind of jacked up, and it says it's still April 1st. It's not. It's 12:02, which means it's actually April 2nd, so you know it's not an April fool's joke. I'm serious. Wheeee.
