Hey everyone, it's me again. Your friendly neighborhood NovaStarr. And once again, something long is on my mind. I am an anime fan, and I live in a city that is not big, but it's not that small either. It is a city striving to grow, a city that is a side joke of the cities that crouch around it, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Fresno has always fought to try to figure out where it wants to be. But it is growing, something that is inevitable. It is growing in many aspects, and regardless of how some people may want it to stay the same, it will change and grow.

But the desire to stay the same has held this city back on countless occasions. This city has a tendency to fight its own growth with its stubborness and traditions at times.

I am spear-heading an effort to restart a Mini-Convention (anime) that once started in our city in 2003. But that anime effort that I was working toward before, I am losing my faith in. There are so many issues with that group that it may come to a point where I may have to leave it.

I am trying to restart a society that was never really started that was meant to be the support of the mini-convention that was held in 2003. There are a lot of things that need to be changed and molded to fill a changable and working mold, and the whole effort has a lot of potential...

but I'm worried, concerned, and even scared. I wonder if Fresno's little habit will roar up and swallow this offort, and whether discord will prevail over unity. I wonder if perhaps this effort will turn out like the other, or perhaps end up being betrayed somehow.

I know that I should have more faith than this, but when things first start, it is hard to light the flame of faith, hope, and optimism.

What can I do, to endure my fear and concern as this effort grows. What can I do, to block out my worries of the negatives so that I can focus on helping make the positive happen?
