                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Passed my 19th anniversary being on NarniaWeb Forums in February (haven't been active all that time) but I wanted to jump on here and thank you for the support all those years ago! I came here to nerd out about the Disney and Fox Narnia films but I found a community that was safe and supportive of my AuDHD teenage dreams and creative works. I learned how to create digital art by coming to this forum through making avatar and signature designs and watching others create them as well. I've kept many of the designs I created here as memories of the wonderful time I had. Getting constructive feedback and praise on here did wonders for my self-esteem and helped me withstand some scars from nasty flaming internet trolls. </p>
<p>I hit a few milestones, 2 of which happened this year that I am so excited to tell you about:</p>
<p>1. I became a Digital Arts Teacher in 2021</p>
<p>2. I got accepted to Arts and Technology Master's Program in January. We learn about everything from Basic Game Design to Virtual Realities.</p>
<p>3. I did my very first paid commission digital art piece a couple weeks ago, "officially" becoming a paid artist like I dreamed about so long ago.</p>
<p>As excited as I am about this, I wanted to come back on here and say that absolutely none of where I am and what I am doing would have been possible without you lovely people! Thank you all for being the amazing moderators, encouragers and supporters you are!</p>
