Mene started out as a direction I could point my creative energy.
I joined Menewsha because I wanted to improve my art skill by opening an art shop and just practicing like a mad woman. I found out I'm reeeeally bad at keeping up with an art shops/auctions (Eek!). I left Mene for almost a year out of embarrassment.

A while later and my IRL social network kind of broke down and I revisited Menewsha.
I found there were still plenty of sweethearts here to meet and get to know. Seito and Antagontist found my freebie shop and really made me feel welcome again-- which is something that kept me (honestly) sane during my year abroad. I learned that I am motivated by people and interaction and so it evolved from simply being a creative outlet to being, collectively, a good friend. It can get a little wild at times, or sad, but overall it is something that has my back and inspires me to do more.
