Cheers to a year, peeps!

Hades0918 · September 10

I know that people don't normally do this

They may celebrate on their wall but don't make a whole post

But this place has really done a lot for me that I just feel a need to make a big deal out of it

I haven't got the badge yet because I didn't join until 7 PM or 6 PM my time, but today is the day I joined the Forums one year ago

My gods I seriously feel like a different person since then

And that has a lot to do with you guys!

I have felt my confidence increase from you guys' support

My writing quality had definitely gotten better thanks to your feedback and positivity

You all inspire me and my ideas for many things I do

My mental health is a lot better after getting here because talking to you guys seriously brings me a joy I can't explain

I've learned a lot about myself from talking to all of you over this last year

And any time I needed a positive boost or encouragement, y'all have always pulled through

There were even times I didn't realize I needed to hear the good things you all said but when I got the replies I couldn't help but smile

Thank you everyone who has ever interacted with me

Even just once

That includes all the people I've done nothing but fight with (and not like the wars but I mean real arguments)

That teaches me the life-long skill of how to deal with conflict, so even you guys have done good things for me

I mean it when I say that absolutely everyone has had a huge impact on me, but I want to give some shout-outs to the people I think has had the biggest influence on me

Clasingla (he doesn't like getting random tags)

(If you're not in the shout-outs it's but because I don't appreciate you, because I promise I do. Some people just had a bigger impact on me than others)

So one last time, thank you all for partaking in this year of my life and hopefully you'll continue to be there in the future!

Cheers to a year, peeps!
