10 years of the UG
7 years ago
So it has just turned the 11th of June on my timezone, which officially marks ten years of me writing about, RPing, and working on the UG.
What started out as a small side project and hobby to vent my writing urges during my university years has grown to be so much more for me. I know to a lot of my readers the UG is just a bunch of fetish stories, but to me, the UG is a major part of my life. I have made some incredible friends because of the UG, discovered people I would never have met, who have influenced my life in a major way. I have found romance, made it through several mental illnesses, overcome loss, and achieved so much in my life because of the UG. This is the closest thing I have to a legacy, and I am honoured that some of you share even a small part of it with me.
The UG was originally built to inspire others, but in its brief lifetime it has inspired me in ways I couldn't imagine back when I made it. I wouldn't be who I am today, and may not even be here today, if not for the UG. To all the amazing people that have contributed to the UG, I want you to know that I am grateful for everything you did for me, and you all have a special place in my heart.
To the rest of you, I have only this to say. Take every opportunity, follow every dream, work hard on everything you do. The journey may take you somewhere unexpected, but there is no knowing which crazy spark of creativity will explode into an idea that will change your life entirely. Even if nobody else appreciates your creations, they can become as much as part of you as anything else. Never let anyone quell your desire to be creative.
Thank you all for the support and interest over these past ten years, and here is to hoping for many more.
Regards,
