reasoning

No one has really actually asked me why I decided to make an Aerith shrine, but I'll tell you anyway. Ever since I played Final Fantasy 7 about 7 years ago, I automatically loved Aerith's character. She was a perfect example of someone who I wanted to be like. She was so cool and pretty, and I just loved her. At the end of disk one when she snuffed it (nice wording, eh?) I was so shocked because I never knew anything about the game and what would happen ... I didn't have the internet at the time! I thought that Aerith's story and death was so heartbreaking that I just kept playing it over and over hoping that it would turn out differently. Well, of course it didn't, and after a while I didn't feel like I needed to bring her back anymore.

I really, truly think that Aerith was the heart of the story. She gave it soft humour and some very sad moments. But most of all, she made a lot of people realize that this is real stuff. You can't bring people back from the dead, and you can't expect the hurt to go away wither. Her very spirit was what motivated everyone else to carry on, even after she was gone. It took me about a year to get my thoughts straight on Aerith, and when I finally did, it's like "What the heck? Might as well do it!" And so I did. It's that easy. I also think on some level, that I wanted to take this chance and prove that I could make a site from scratch - with zero html knowleadge, and turn it into (what my crazy mind would like to think is) one of the best Aerith sites out there.
