May you live in uninteresting times.
 
Nothing like waiting for the last possible moments. ovo

At 4 hours since it was new year for me, I shall still wish to every single person on this forum a very happy new year.

It is quite common to forget the things that are simple in our lives, whether outside the screen or on it: Enjoying our daily lives simply for the good yet small things that happens all the time yet we don't take a moment to appreciate. Of course, this is even worse on the internet, as things of yesterday feel like went by almost a century ago.

We live in quite a fast age. Even on these forums. Events that happened but a few weeks ago can feel like they happened an eternity; always moving, always improving, or sometimes going backwards. Hey, we aren't perfect after all, it happens. And yet, the little thing we take for granted... The ability to communicate; to function, aye, as a community. Now that's truly something precious. To be able to share, debate and develop our collective knowledge, while for fictional verses, I'm living proof of how it can even improve our daily lives.

For you see, when I started on these forums, I had quite a negative attitude. I wasn't as patient or open to accept the things that went against my beliefs. Hell, @The_real_cal_howard can attest to this, as we ourselves started with a left foot. Heh. Yet overtime, we realized that, even in those things we were different, we also shared many views. Because we stopped for a moment and saw that, indeed, we could communicate.

I always like to share the story of how Cal and I met on these forums, as it's indeed proof how opposite views can coexist in some manner. We simply have to stop for a moment to realize this.

I am truly grateful of my time being part of this community.

For the good things:
  • Being at one time considered a well respected and insightful member
  • Being trusted by multiple staffs to carry revisions (particularly Ant, to whom I am really grateful for the opportunity)
  • Having the pleasure to talk about these verses I love so much, whether on Versus Threads, Revisions or simple Discussions and people considering my views

For the bad things:
  • My outbursts when I feel people aren't actually understanding each other and just screaming
  • Blinded by anger, my inability to de-escalate situations and just adding fuel to the fire
  • Being taken advantage of
  • My shyness, lazyness and frequent disappearences, even in the middle of important discussions (in some cases, that even I started)

I'm grateful, because all of it led to me growing as an individual. All of it led to the person I am right now. And that's really ******* precious.

Happy New Year, everybody.

Remember to listen to one another, because that's how we can learn and grow.
