The Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Day 8

Day 8

In your own space, create a love meme for yourself. Let people tell you how amazing and awesome and loveable you really are. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. Surf the comments and find people to give love to.


Oh, this is a hard one. Really. Bit outside my comfort zone but I hold that doing things outside one's comfort zone can be healthy. ("I'm a little nervous, but I'll push through" as opposed to someone shoving you when you're going "no, please, I really really can't.") So.

I'm a little shy about reaching out, more than a touch introverted, but I do like to talk with people. Kind of the entire purpose of fandom, right? So drop me some love. Heck, go ahead and ask questions: this is a relatively new journal that's just ramping up but I've been a fangirl for a loooong time. We might have something in common. ^_^

Hi there! You're a wonderful person for reaching out and commenting to a perfect stranger (that's me!) and posting this challenge to your journal. Well done, you! <3

It was really hard, wasn't it? But I absolutely agree that sometimes it's good to push the comfort zone (not to the breaking point, but... to spread one's wings). I don't know you, but I know know that you were brave to try and that you are super sweet to go about, sprinkling love on other people's journals, even when you don't know them. That's pretty incredible to me. ♥

Hello! I don't know you at all, but I'm so happy with the comment you left me and I wanted to return the favor. Fandom is a wondrous place and being a fangirl is fun. Sending virtual affection!

I leave you lots of kudos and many hugs. For having the courage for doing something that goes beyond what you feel comfortable and that tells me you are a strong person in mind and spirit :D

*beams* Look at you, conquering that nervousness and reaching out to people, and also kicking ass at the Snowflake Challenge*, I'm so proud of you ♥

* I saw that you've participated almost every day since Day 1 when I clicked over from your comment on my DW *two thumbs up*).

Hi,

I don't know you (yet?) so I can't really describe in detail how wonderful you are (though you totally are, I'm sure of it!).

But I can say that I love the design of your journal, so light and clean, and the sentiment expressed in your journal title and username, all those precious moments of the hours gone by. That's so lovely, and I think you're lovely, too!

Anyway, I figured that I'd use this love meme to spread positive vibes by sharing encouraging quotes because I believe that all of us have the potential to be amazing and awesome beyond our wildest dreams and worst fears. This is the quote I picked for you:

“How does one become a butterfly? They have to want to learn to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.”
― Trina Paulus, Hope for the Flowers


♥ Live out loud!

Hi there! i'm here from the Snowflake Challenge. Well done you for being brave enough to take part in this particular challenge.

I love your journal layout - so simple and clean and bright.

So many of us seem to be introverted but yes, fandom can help reach out to people!
I was scrolling a little and saw your rant and thought YES! Because those things irritate me too - don't ask me what to do/how something works if you're going to ignore it. If you are having issues with moderator duties which I'm guessing at, I sympathise and say this is why I'm reluctant to take on too much responsibility. I don't have the strength to deal with drama and to lay down the law when it needs to be laid down! So whether it's modding or managing in the real world, I salute you for sticking to your principles!

Hi, we don't share fandoms so haven't run into each other prior to this challenge but well done for taking part, makes you pretty awesome in my book :)

*Hugs*

Thank you so much for dropping a little love on my entry yesterday! I really appreciated it. <3 <3 By the way, I'm "old" by fandom standards (although not as old as some), but fairly new to being a fan. Merlin bit me hard. Haven't totally fallen for anything since though.
