How I met LLS? Well, one day my parents decided that I needed to learn English so I ended up in a boarding school in Canada. Besides being the youngest student I was of the only 3 girls in my grade and I had a hard time bonding with anyone else. But as the year kept going I became friend with this Japanese guy. One day I approached his desk while he was playing SIF (before I even knew that love live, let along SIF existed):

"Why are you hitting faces, lol, that's scary."

"No, it isn't."

And that's how everything started. I was then introduced to SIF and then LL. Eventually, my year in Canada ended and I came back home, but I became a really close friend with this guy and he insisted that I needed to watch LLS. I did and even though at first I was skeptical about it, I then realized the girls were funny and I could easily relate to them at an emotional level. So I started getting involved in the LLS fandom and this got me to write and actually post my works online, to drawing and to be a little more confident. I know I'm not the best at almost anything but LLS and the fandom gave me enough confidence to think that maybe one person might need to cheer up and if these girls could do it through what I write then I should do it.

This led me to listen to their songs and now I've  downloaded all of them and it's the first thing I hear in the morning. When I have a bad day I'll try to think what would Aqours say to me to cheer me up. It also got me started in learning Japanese on my own. Now I'm in my second year of high school and it hasn't been easy to get along with all my classmates but I always think that if I can make it through the day then maybe tomorrow there'll be important/interesting news, new fanwork, new official art from Aqours and that'll just bring an instant smile to my face. Also, I used to be really shy in class but now I'll speak up what I think. That, along with many things, is how in the past 3 years Aqours has helped me. So big shout out to them for giving me another reason to wake up, to smile about their silly seiyuus that I've come to love, to get me past some of my fears, helping me find what I love to do in my spare-time, helping me bond with friends that I haven't seen since 2016, and most importantly for giving me Rikyako's art  it's just so good.

No, but being serious again Aqours has helped me improve to a personal level and I'm glad I got to meet them. I'll continue to support them as long as I'm able to do so.

Also rip my wallet as all my money goes to SIF and a few nesos :')
