Or... effected? Gosh I'm terrible at knowing the difference.
So I've come out of lurking to ask, has Gaia actually made a difference in the person you are today? Was it little things, more stylish, got into a fandom, a better typer, etc? Or has it made a bigger difference? Have you met people on the site that have changed your life?
Have these changes been good? Bad? Do you find yourself procrastinating more or spending money you shouldn't have?
I know that Gaia has hit me in stages. At one point early on the friends I made helped me through a dark time when I was really struggling, I found an outlet I needed, my skills at typing would never be what they are today. (Keyboarding never taught me to not look at the keys, but Gaia did! -shows my age-) I became a better writer for rping on the site.
Later I got really involved in the storyline, and it helped again when I was struggling with health issues, and I even met my ex-fiance through it, and my best friend in the whole world.
And now, some of my greatest friends came thanks to beta testing for Gaia. I couldn't be happier. Even though I'm hardly active on the site anymore, I still love dressing my avatar. It even reflects in real life when I want to match my outfits like I'm on Gaia. It's the only thing that still pushes me to draw when the rest of the time I've given up.
So, has Gaia changed your life in little or big ways GCD? Would you change any of it?
