- I'm Scared. I'm scared about the future and where I'm going. I'm scared to admit that my career choice is one that is not laid out for me - one that doesn't have a set path for me to walk down. That is absolutely terrifying. To know that going to University or College or programs are not going to benefit me like they would my other peers with separate interests. Knowing that half of what I want to do is heavily reliant on luck and the basis of being at the right place at the right time. Graduating does not certify me a position on the screen or the stage. Acquiring an agent will not grant me my wishes. Persistence in the craft will only cause me heartache when I realize that I've been shot down multiple times for acting roles. I will question my skill. I will question my ability to act. I will question myself when I look in the mirror and ask my reflection what the hell it’s doing with its life. I’ll become corrupt with doubt. I’ll grow worried with honesty and fearful of my decisions. It’s already happening…and it will continue to happen until I'm happy with myself and my choices. And that could take years. But I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful for what I love. I place a great deal of trust in myself to truck forward through all this turmoil and engross myself in that euphoric feeling I achieve every once and awhile. When I've become satisfied with life. That’s a rare thing. Something that I think everybody needs to cherish. Because when it’s gone, you thrash about…angered in rage and animosity, questioning your ability to be happy. That’s not very fun. You’ll be hit. Punctured and wounded…cut so deeply that you don’t know if you’re still alive. If you still feel something. But these are just thoughts. Distant dreams that drown us in contemplation and suffocate us with their silence. They’re all we have left half of the time, and it seems like we’re all just floating in imagination. Stuck in that own personal rapture. And it’s something that we…or perhaps I can’t escape. So maybe we can build our dreams out here in reality. Form a structure - a platform for our visions to walk upon. University is supposed to be that step but we formulate doubts. It’s these doubts that should makes us want to overcome our worries. When we’re feeling hopeless, we should only become enraged at the sight of displeasure. It forces us to want to prove that we can do this, or that we are able to accomplish that. It’s a drive. And I'm really hoping people take up the wheel when their doubtful thoughts consume them. Because passion is missing from this world. What puts a smile on our face? We’re pushing away what we love out of pain and hurt, dissatisfaction or simple care. We’re losing sight of what makes us happy. I want people to do what they love even if it hurts. No matter the doubt, live a life with a grin. It’s too short to look and question. I want everyone to proceed with a purpose. It pains me deeply when I recognize that there are people around me that are doing things that don’t make them happy. Something that makes their friends happy or their parents happy. Live your own life. I don’t want to see other people influenced. I want people to experience that personal drive into darkness and not knowing where the road will take you. That is the thrill of life. And it's quickly disappearing. f o r m a t j i m m y 3 6 5
- There's nothing more frustrating... Than a girl that doubts her beauty even after she's been told every single day that she is a princess. You are so beautiful to me. Why don't you see what I see?

- Let's play dirty questions again. Or I guess any questions... GO
- Witty is kinda dead. So here's what we should do. 1. INVITE YOUR FRIENDS It's the best way to get more active users. You don't have to tell them your account, but just show them the website! As many people as possible; if you think they'll be interested, get them to join. People wonder why the 'old witty' used to be so active. It's because a lot of users would constantly be inviting new people to join, and recycling the community. It works, so do it! 2. WRITE MORE QUOTES Traffic is so sloooooow for two reason; there aren't a lot of uers, and therefore there aren't a lot of quotes. So write more quotes! Make the 'New' page active again. I'm not saying you should make a quote of every mundane thought that goes through your mind (not that there's anything wrong with that) but seriously, how can you complain about inactivity if you only write two quotes a week? Look at all your absolute favourite usres, or the ones with the most followers; more often than not, they'll be active themselves, and write a lot of quotes. That's the whole point of Witty. 3. FAVE MORE QUOTES I've noticed this year that some of you are pretty stringent with your faves. Which is cool. But just remember that the more quotes you fave, the more quotes get faves, and if everyone does that, theoretically, every quote gets more faves on average. This is how to go from gettign 100 faves on a top quote back to getting 1000. 4. FOLLOW MORE USERS Yeah, I get it, it looks 'messy' to follow a ton of people or whatever. But the fact is that it's gonna get more people to see more different users and their quotes. And you also get to see more cool quotes on your own homepage. And if everyone follows more people, then again, theoretically, everyone gets - on average - more followers, more people seeing their quotes, more traffic, blahblahblah. 5. ADVERTISE WITTY Put up posters! If you care enough or are bored enough, take screencaps and post them on facebook/twitter/tumblr/instagram/whatever else you waste your time on. Tell the friends that you invite to invite THEIR friends. EXTRA ADVICE: - use this website how you wish everyone would. If you don't like a ton of boring layouts, make or use exciting one (you can literally use ANYONE'S layout as long as you keep credit; it's not that hard!). If you don't like your quotes only getting five faves, then fave more quotes. If you don't like quotes about cutting, for example, then don't write them, don't fave them, just ignore them! - go to 'new' quotes before 'top quotes'. Regularly check up on the 'people you follow'. -Talk to users you like! It's fun! You're never gonna make friends on here unless you comment users you'd like to talk to. It also gets more traffic in your page, btw. ;) -For God's sake, stop complaining to Steve about every little thing. He's not your mother. If you have a problem, PLEASE try to solve it yourself before running to the site creator for help. -I'm biased on this one. But please, ffs, use nice formats. And iclude credit, oh my god. -I love love love going through all the quotes of users I like. If you're bored or you feel there aren't any good quotes here anymore, go to your followers list, and read all of the quotes by someone. I tend to do this a lot for users who have already left. -Browse through 'following' lists. It's a great way to find new amazing users. -WRITING ORIGINAL QUOTES IS NOT HARD. And pretty much everyone prefers it. So give it a try. :L Okay, that's all I can think off the top of my head right now. Suggestions? Advice? Rants about the old witty and how much you miss it? The comment box is your friend. :') I may make more quotes like this. (Should I?) &&& what else lalalalaaaa, yeah, ACTUALLY DO THE STUFF ON THIS LIST PLS. P.S. Don't mind the tags. I need people to see this. xD
