I've matured in soooo many ways because of Gaia. <:
D Although not necessarily Gaia in general, but the people, definitely. My years of hanging out in the Lifestyle Discussion made me open my eyes to things in life that I may have never considered before. And helped me grow to be my own person. And like you, my sense of fashion and my way of typing has went through tooo many changes throughout my years on Gaia. e.e
It was mostly Neopets that got me into art and roleplaying/writing, but Gaia helped me develop those skills even more.
I don't take Gaia that seriously - I've tried online relationships over here, and they never work out to the point that I don't try anymore. But it's certainly changed my life in a way, significant or not. c:

It also kept me sane and gave me distractions when there were deaths and drama.
This, too.
