Site Update
A community-focused user event brought to Aywas by Chianya (#12264) and a Slashbot.
Life might give you lemons, but Aywas gives you Love Lemons. <3
This event marks the end of our user event marathon for a little while, so enjoy this one!
"Sometimes we all need to be given a reason to love life, and once we have that reason, we start to see many other reasons that we hadn't noticed before. This event strives to make you love your life on Aywas a little more, in the hopes that it will drive you to realize other reasons to love your life that you may have overlooked in the past. So during this event, please take some time to remember those who have passed on, as well as those whom were taken away from the world against their will. Then please take some more time to reflect upon the reasons that you have to love your life, large or small." -- Chianya

What a beautiful event idea<3
I note that it is a phoenix because it means the renaissance, isn't? Like a new life or a new way to live

Cool idea, and awesome phoenix! This is the kind of thing everyone needs from time to time. My birthday is Sunday the 24th so this is well timed for me too.

Thank you for making this day. <3 Seems so perfect in the state I'm in right now. Struggling with depression all your life can get heavy, and lately I've been losing myself. The help info is very much needed and appreciated. Thank you. <3

@Chianya: Wow..Just wow. I *was* going to hold a similar event in July (leaning more towards special moments whereby your friends and family are thanked and remembered for all they do and all they give us that they dont realise but RL has reared it's ugly head so I couldn't. Eri, and a few select others know this and even fewer know what I'm going through right now and what this event means to me personally, and I just want to say this event is truly amazing...Thank you so much! *hugs* <3 - V
