Despite being exhausted and semi-conscious at the moment, I find myself wanting to express my deep gratitude to not only the people that wished me well on my birthday, but everyone that's put up with me nosing around ever since I had the notion to make friends.

The kindness of strangers and friends alike has made my life infinitely better than it was years ago, slowly but surely helping me see I shouldn't be afraid of failure, as well as reminding me I'm more than my mistakes. You have my thanks.
