Hello to everyone who is still on here!

My name is Saja and I've came back to this website after 7 years. I first joined back in 2010 when Oh my dollz was created, and even before that I was on My Diva Doll which was the older version of this website. I remember it was 2007. This game was a huge! part of my childhood. It inspired me and kept me awake at night. I took part in contests hosted by other users here, I even hosted my own. We gave away blingees as prizes and it was the most special thing ever! I made awesome friends on here and got to know about so many cultures. It was on this website that I found my ideal who inspired me to be an illustrator. She went by the user name Mechakunai. She used to make this beautiful digital art and fun animations of the people who were part of her 'pirate crew'. She made us feel like behind the screen there was a whole universe where our dolls are characters who had their own lives. I formed a love for drawing cause i wanted to bring my own characters to life and it made my childhood magical. I would make up stories in my head with my characters. Those stories were so vivid that my characters formed their own unique personalities. As time went by and life started getting tough, I eventually stopped coming on here, stopped drawing altogether. But when the time came and I had to decide on a college major, I knew what i wanted to be. I chose graphic designing as my career.

As I write this today, I'm 24 years old, turning 25 in a few months. I have graduated college earlier this year and have this amazing job at a multi-national company and I'm doing what I love. I'm also getting engaged to the love of my life next week! So today I'm writing with utmost gratitude in my heart. I'm thankful to God for all that he has blessed me with and I wish and pray that whoever is reading this, may you all find peace and happiness. May you always have the courage to chase your wildest dreams. May you never feel like you're not enough. And whatever you're going through in life, have faith that things Will get better. 

Lots of love,

Saja Qazi
