DIAMONDS - Ilaria Graziano

...oh, god damn. Seems I missed my own five year anniversary. ; It was actually yesterday.

So yes. It has been five years since I first joined SA, after coming from dA. Those who have known me since those days will know why I left that place, why many of them left with me, and why, although I tried going back there again after a few years, I ultimately ditched dA for good and made SA my permanent home.

SA has, for the most part, been there for me all throughout my college years; it saw me barely a year into my first batch of classes, and it also saw me graduate four years and some-odd months later. Through my highs and lows, my life-changing moments and even the mundane ones, SA has always been a presence in my life these past five years. I have seen the site itself go through many transformations and upgrades; I have also seen my share of artists come and go, including those I called "friend". I have shared my personal growth, both artistic and otherwise, with SA and those who watch me; in short, I am most certainly not the same person I was five years ago. I have matured, and with me, my art.

Here's to another five years and beyond.
