User blog:SocialCasualty/Don't Forget Where You Belong

Hey, everybody! I usually don't do blog posts unless the topic at hand is important to me, and I think this one is. It has come to my attention lately that life is short. It goes by in the blink of an eye, and we sometimes forget to stop and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. With that being said, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for what you all have done for me - being friendly when you didn't have to be, welcoming me with open arms even when I was still hesitant, being understanding even when I didn't understand myself, and simply being there even when I felt all alone. You guys have given me another home - somewhere to turn to to be myself and enjoy the time I've been given. You guys have also given me another family - people to turn to to find comfort, love, and acceptance. And finally, you guys have given me another reason to love this precious amount of time I've been given in life, whether it's long or short, full of ups or downs, or accompanied with millions or one - you've given me a reason to love it. So thank you for being there. Thank you for doing the small thing. But most importantly, I'd like to tell you that I'm here to do all these things for you too. Even if you feel like the whole world (DARP or literal) is against you, I'll be here. Because this is home. For me, and hopefully for you. But no matter what... don't forget where you belong.

Home.
