It has officially been 10 years since I became part of this community. I joined the forum on October 28th, 2011. A full decade has passed since then, and I can hardly believe it. In a way, it seems like it was not that long ago. On the other hand, it feels like a really really long time.
In the beginning, I was only 14 and I was in 8th grade. In the 10 years that I have been here, I started and finished high school. Then I moved on to college and recently graduated from there too. I have also moved twice in the last decade, once to a different town. A year after that, I moved again but this time on my own. By that, I mean that I no longer live with my parents. I also recently celebrated my 24th birthday.
It goes without saying that so much has happened in the time that has passed. I basically grew up with the forum by my side. From day one, I don't remember a day when I didn't log on at least once. If there was ever a time when I wasn't here in a 24 hour period, then it was due to something out of my control (i.e. no internet). Ever since I've always found the time to come back here, and there is a reason for that. More than one reason, actually. When I applied to be a moderator in 2013, I wrote in my application that I would never leave the forum. That is a promise that I continue to keep. The other reason is this. Whenever I'm asked what my favorite book is, I always tell them that it's Warriors. That is largely because of this forum. The forum will always have a special place in my heart because of the memories that were made here. I'll always be partial to it.
However, I wouldn't be able to say that if it wasn't for what made this forum what it is. It's everyone here that has made it a place worth coming back to every day for the decade that I've been around for. You guys are the best. I wouldn't want it any other way.
Thank you guys for being part of my life for so long. ♥♥♥
