Looking back at everything, now that the year is over, I'm glad I stayed on FA and didn't leave in May like I planned. If I hadn't stayed, I wouldn't have met all of you wonderful folks, nor would I discover my talent and passion for creative writing or be truly happy and have the confidence to actually come out of my shell (online and IRL) and make friends for the first time in 10 years. It's been a pleasure getting to know you all these past 6 months whether you're one of my best friends or simply an acquaintance, and don't you forget that!

Listen, y'all are my peeps and I love you a ton...you guys are da real MVPs!!!

EDIT: I just wanted to mention that none of this would be possible without the help of both  enorad and  dialuca01. These two have been there for me the most and are responsible for me being the way I am today. I wouldn't have stayed around if not for the help of these guys. They truly are some of the nicest people a guy could ever ask for to be his friend and I'm truly grateful that they wound up in my life.
