Yes this is what my journal is all about, me and my shop and what I have done so far. I have started a shop not too long ago, and it so far it's doing alright but not as productive as I thought it would be. But thats alright considering I don't want any overloads.
Besides that I'd like to start from the beginning up till now, it's better if people knew the story behind my shop.
One day I was on gaia and it came to me that I should attempt to make a pet, part of me doubted I would be able to, but I wanted to see if I could do it. So I asked a few friends to name some animals for me, and some of them did, but the animals they named didn't hit me like the ones I began to think of all of. I began to sketch away the idea that came to me, and when I was finished I was in total surprise at what I had done, I couldn't believed I had created something that looked like a pet.
I continued to draw and I finished the other 3 stages of it, once done I felt so accomplished I showed some friends cause I was so excited. I was determined to go through and make a pet shop, even though it took me awhile I went ahead and done it. Sometimes you just gotta do things yourself when things aren't going your pace y'know? I was able to ink my pets on my own which I was very pleased with, because I used a mouse. Not only that I continued on making plans for my shop, with what I would do and how I would do it.
I had some help and I was so greatful for it, and I'm glad that that friend stuck through helping me when I needed it. And I won't have to say her name cause she knows who she is.
Even though I started my shop, I was excited about opening it, and I was getting anxious by the minute, once I had completed the set up I waited for the next day to have the grand opening...not many people know this, but I waited for some of my friends..the people in Rats thread to hop on, so I could show them. I waited to open my shop because I wanted to show them what I have done, some saw..some didn't but thats ok I guess.
Sometimes just one good compliment can make your day, even though nobody acknowledges or even notices your work...sometimes you just have to press on and forget about it. I've prospered so far in my shop, and I've done what I could to be a good owner, and host...I don't want to go around advertising or nagging people. I'll just say " I have a pet shop, would you like to see?" I try to hold some class with things.
I wonder sometimes when I have bad days if I should even bother mentioning...that I have a shop or IT does exist. Sometimes I feel like nobody cares..or "Hmm nice" as if what I've done has no meaning. I do try to think sometimes what have I done wrong..not many people seem interested in my shop, or anything I've mentioned. I don't want anyone to do anything for me out of pity. I just for once want to feel comfortable talking about something and feel like it's worthwhile...
Am I jealous? what is there to be when I'm happy with myself..I'm content with what I have and what I have accomplish, jealousy is a waste of time. Yeah there are people out there with really cool pets, and pets that seem better than mine and others, but I won't whine about that. My pets are unique, they're different and I care about them..as if they're real.
I gave myself a pet, and my pet reminds me of my Dog..I gave my pet the same personality my dog had, and it means a lot to me. Not many know this, but some will know now. Some of you can go "you're retarded" or "You need a life" Sometimes the simple things in life can ease ones sufferings, yeah I still miss him but I don't get all dramatic about it.
I just want people to understand that, sometimes a person needs your support, don't do it just cause you feel you have to. Do it cause you want to. Simple words can mean a lot to them, and it can help make their day go smooth.
And I think I'll just end it here...I don't wish to keep blabbing on..if I was..ah well anyhoo.
Thats enough for this entry! until then! Sayanora! XP
