"I have to admit cosplaying is almost like therapeutic hobby for me. It gets rid of any tension I have with my family or any stress I have in life. I feel much better when I pick up some fabric and sew a costume. I dont get the same happy feeling if I just go and sew a dress for regular use. I think its the sewing and then the dress up part that gets me. I always loved dress up. I also love cosplaying because it brings smiles to people. I mean really past all of the drama, your costume is bound to make someone out there smile and the most important part is that it makes you happy and your having fun. I guess I cant put into words how happy finishing and wearing a costume makes me."-Anon
