For the past few days, I have felt like I truly belonged. My entire life, I have struggled with being the only creative person in a group of friends who just did not understand me. I pushed my own interests aside where I could, just to fit in with those around me. Not anymore.
The friends that I have made - and continue to make - this year are amazing. I now know some incredibly inspiring people, and I look up to every single one of them (and no, not just because I am a hobbit).
Spending the past few days surrounded by my own kind, I felt comfortable in ways that I have not felt for years. My anxiety vanished, replaced by a confidence I didn’t know I had in me.
I spent a ridiculous amount of money at the zine fair, but I now have an amazing pair of knee high Dr. Martens, Bionicle cufflinks, a vest and some vintage Garfield
I have absolutely loved my life the past few days. I loved meeting new, amazing, talented, beautiful people. I loved wandering around aimlessly in the pouring rain, trying not to spend more money at the zine fair. I love that I can now understand the occasional cryptic crossword clue, even though I am still not very good.
It is sad that it has come to an end, but I cannot wait until next year. I feel like all I can say is thankyou, thankyou to everyone who made this the most amazing weekend ever.

TiNA is the best and it makes me love life and I wish it never stopped.
Yes, I was planning to do photos of all of the things I bought anyway (:
TiNA was so amazing. I cannot wait until next year. I went into the city today and saw that they still had the posters up, and got slightly emotional.
