Crystal Den Pictures

Hello my little comets! I managed to sneak to my friend SuzyCupcake's den and take some screenshots of her den, the crystal den. It is a very pretty den, and it's pretty amazing. It's also HUGE. It feels sort of like some adventure base camp or something, it doesn't even feel like a den. Holy cow.

Here are some screenshots of it:

Aren't the statues to along the rim gorgeous? I especially love the center fountain. It is a very beautiful den, I just don't like how big it is. XD

(Big thanks to SuzyCupcake again for being my buddy and allowing me to visit her pawsome den.)

With this new update comes new glowing features when you edit your den:

It's kind of weird that the outer rim of your items glow. I am definitely not used to that, and it's pretty distracting. I wonder why AJHQ decided to do that all of a sudden? Maybe the new crystal den makes all things sparkly. owo

Anywhoozies, that's all to post for today. See you around! :)

Words w/ Comet #3: Animal Jam vs. Reality

Countless times, (and by countless, I mean a lot) have I seen Animal Jam YouTubers saying that they cut themselves or feel the need to commit suicide because of the drama and the bullying that they've experienced on Animal Jam. I know that most people who are reading this post do not feel the need to harm themselves, but if someone happens to pass by my blog, here's a message for you:

DO. NOT. COMMIT. SUICIDE.

Why?

Because your life is worth more than some online person told you. I know it's hard. I know that you want to 'escape.' Do. Not. You will live through this...but you are the only person in control of that. You are capable of handling this...but you are the only person in control of that.

In reality, you hold your life in your hands.

Why would you waste it?

Why would you waste it if you could do so much with your life? Why would you waste it if you could grow up, get a job that you will (hopefully) love, drive, and travel around the world? Why would you get rid of your life just because of what someone online said to you?

Your life is worth more than that. You were put into this world for a reason. You only get to live once. (Well, maybe you get to live more than once, I have no idea. None of us know, and if we do live more than once, we never remember, anyways.) That means that your life is very special. You are so lucky and extremely blessed to live. There are people dying in the world. Right at this moment. You survive from at least, what, I don't know, 1,000 things a day.

Think about it. You are extremely lucky.

And if you still don't buy it, if you still think that your life is worthless...look at the people around the world. They are starving. Hurting. Dying. People who can barely breathe, people who have to live on the streets. If you lived, you could do something for them. If you think YOUR life is worthless, what about other lives?

If you think you shouldn't save YOUR life, why not save others?

If you help people, just a little bit, you'll feel better about yourself, too. You'll begin to love yourself, you'll begin to feel happy that you are helping people. You can even do something small, such as writing a blog post, (like what I'm doing right now.) But I'm not writing this blog post to make myself feel better. I'm doing it for you.

Whoever you are, wherever you are, your life is worth it. It is worth more than this online game and this online person who said such terrible things to you. I know that whatever you are going through is hard, and that it is really painful for you. You can make it through it, I promise you. And then, once you've gone through whatever you've gone through, you'll feel proud.

You'll think, I made it. And then you'll know that you can survive life. Interesting concept, right? Life is truly a really messed up place. But it is also beautiful. Just look around you. Don't look at your computer screen. Look at this world. Look at the sky, the clouds, the animals. Sometimes I just look around and think, "This is amazing." It truly is! We, as humans, are co-existing with these creatures. We've developed our own language, our brains can comprehend things. We can communicate with each other.

And, most importantly, we can help each other.

And that is the main reason why you are here. To help. Whatever you do as your job, it's to help others. If you become a truck driver, you help transport things for other companies and people so that they can maintain their jobs. As a writer, you can help readers develop their vocabulary so that maybe they can become writers, too. As an artist, you can help others understand the beauties of art.

If you are thinking about cutting...

...Well, guess what I'm going to say?

DON'T.

The first thing that I don't understand about people who feel the need to cut or commit suicide is the fact that they never think about talking to their parents. If you committed suicide, how would your parents feel? None of us understand how much our parents love us. I don't yet, either (come on, stop staring at me like that, I'm not that old XD), but imagine this:

Imagine that you had a child, a soft, sweet baby, who you watched grow up. Imagine that you watched him get married, watched him have his own children. Imagine the things that he did that made you laugh when he was a child, or the way he drove you crazy because he would never stop ranting about the new Spiderman movie that came out.

Now, imagine that you found that your child had committed suicide because of what people had said to him. And imagine that he never even told you.

How would you feel?

If you feel the need to cut or commit suicide, please PLEASE PLEASE DON'T. Take a break from the computer. Find other hobbies, like drawing, reading, etc. Listen to some music. Take a walk.

And, most importantly, tell your parents.

You might be afraid that they'll ban you from your computer (OH NOEZ, I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THE COMPUTER FOR A DAY), and chances are, they will. But it's better to not have the computer for a day than for you to not have your life anymore. And your parents will respect you, too, for telling them.

Don't ever hide things from your parents.

I know, it's so easy to lie to them. Don't. Lies only get worse, and they never fully disappear. I mean, I could post videos on my YouTube channel if I really wanted to, but my parents urged me not to. And I don't. Lying to your parents is so hard to do anyway, if I ever feel the need to lie to my parents I just get this terrible feeling in my gut. I suck at lying, and the only thing that I lie about is the fact that "No, I haven't been on the computer that long," (when, in reality, I've been on it for an hour or two.) I'm 100% sure that my parents knew that I was lying, but they dropped the subject. :P

Your parents are the people who can help you the most. I am probably not the most reliable source, since I've never experienced extreme cyber-bullying before, but if you need advice, I'll be right here. :)

Stay strong. God loves you. And if you do not believe in God, someone loves you anyway. Whether it be your parents, friends, teachers. And if you still don't think anyone loves you, I do! I love you because you are reading this, and you have the will to stay alive.

That is why your life is priceless.

Thomas Edison Plaque!

Hiya my little comets! Are you at least a little curious about the title? Good, because I'm going to make you wait until the end of the post to read about it. (Hehe, I am so evil, but then again, if you didn't want to bother with the rest of the post you could just scroll down and read the end.) 8D

Anywhoozies, look at what I got in the Daily Spin today!

The gifts that I got were mech angel wings and a neck wreath thing. Coolio! It's interesting that you can get prizes based on how many days you come on. Good job on luring jammers to come on every day, AJHQ! ;)

Moving forward, did you notice that the door to the Medical Center swings open?

Isn't that interesting? I swear, I never saw that before. Maybe Animal Jam incorporated a swinging door later. If you look closely at it, it looks sort of grainy. That's usually what happens when Animal Jam posts gifs. It takes on this sort of grainy quality. I wonder if the swinging door is some sort of animation gif that Animal Jam uses? :3

I was laughing really hard earlier with some of my friends; Lemo, Confection (aka Comfy/Misstess, she came back!), and a new jammer, Blossom Shylady, though I forgot her username. ^^;

We were talking about food, but then somehow, we touched on the topic of the Thomas Edison plaque! This is basically the gist of it: We think that it would be great if Animal Jam hosted IDEA contests. To put it simply, Animal Jam makes a post on DE about what things we'd like to see throughout Jamaa, and whoever posts an idea that AJHQ most likes wins a plaque with a lightbulb on it, or a Thomas Edison plaque!

It's kind of a combination of an accessory contest and the question mark things that you see throughout Jamaa, but instead, you can do any idea, like: new animals, new items, (I myself would suggest a chocolate fountain), or any activities/holidays that you think should be added to Jamaa!

And, of course, the coolest prize is that your idea would actually come to the game. =^.^=

But guess what? Comfy said that I won the first contest for coming up with the idea of an idea contest. (Though she helped, so we should both get Thomas Edison plaques.) XD

Have a wonderful day,
~Comet
