Oh, my. As of now, I've officially been a member of Cave Story Tribute Site Forums - and the Internet as a whole - for 1 year. ...a whole, whole lot has happened this year. I've accomplished so much, both on a professional level and a personal level. Especially a personal level. ...I'm honestly very proud of myself. <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/grin2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> One year ago, I was hesitant to even push the "Sign Up" button. I had never submitted anything, never left any sort of mark on the internet - I was too afraid. I was always unsure of myself, I was convinced I was some level of insane just because of one secret interest and one unseen girl. I was afraid to speak, afraid to try anything, afraid of myself, afraid of disapproval. But I clicked that Sign Up button anyway. And one year later... <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/chin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':chin:' /> Obviously, I can't just slam all the credit on the forums alone. But you guys <strong class='bbc'><em class='bbc'>helped</em></strong>. Like, a ton. <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/default/debug.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':debug:' /> And I thank you all dearly for that. ¶_^ ~★ I really like being here. I really like the paths I see before me. And I hope to stay for years to come!
