I've been having a slightly bad day today, just haven't been feeling great lately. Anyways, after getting home earlier, I picked up a bit around the house, etc, then hopped on here. After awhile, I realized I wasn't in as terrible a mood. That got me thinking about previous days, whether good or bad.
I realized this place is like a sanctuary to me. I come on here angry or in a bad mood, and somehow or other you guys manage to help me out a lot. Seriously, this place has just always been here for me. Years ago, I was an obnoxious little kid. You guys ripped me up on my first few topics, and honestly, I don't regret posting those topics at all. You guys, whether meaning to or not, have taught me that I should mature pretty quick or I will not do well. This carried over into real life, and I thank you guys for this. Some more than others (A.R.C., WhatevaGuy, and a few others in particular).
Years ago, I had terrible, terrible anger problems. I used to just get so angry. Well, after joining this place, you guys and your different youtube videos and anything else that interested me, always managed to calm me down. I can't thank all of you enough, even if you didn't help.
So, all in all, I always saw you guys as a big second family, even if I didn't participate too much. You guys have helped me more times than necessary, and you didn't even know. So I just felt like all of you deserve a thanks, from me. Even if you don't know me, and I don't know you, I still see you as part of the community.
Also, to any of you that I may have been harsh or rude to, I'm sorry. You most likely didn't deserve it.
