Now that I think back on it, I've been here since this guild was nothing more than a couple of people with hopes and dreams. I checked and it seems that I was the third to join this guild, something that never actually occurred to me for some reason.
Now seeing how much this guild had grown and changed, my 16 year old self seems so far away. The things I learned here were all invaluable and changed my life for the better. I've met people and even gained what I believe may be lifetime friendships (you know I mean you, Shiny...) others who I'm slowing getting to know and I believe I can be friends with for a long time or even for life (Nai), then some that I'd really like to get to know better (ThatGirlintheBowTie)
Seeing how the guild grew from 3 to 350 warms my heart like you'll never believe. To see something that I care about growing so big and strong and wondering what sort of magic took place to create this Little Piece of Heaven is just amazing.
I went from being 100% in the closet, to having people know about because this guild gave me the confidence to tell others. Sure, I'm not completely out. But this is a long process. I have close friends in real life now and I'm no longer afraid to be my silly, anime loving self. I'm still a little shy, but Rome wasn't built in a day. So it's not that surprising that I won't go from being almost anti-social and cynical (old self) to perfectly happy, odd ball with a cheerful disposition who wants to help people (who I wanted to be and who I'm starting to be) in only 3 (almost 4) years. (My worst was over way before the guild... About a year or two) Now I'm more confident in the future and that I'll one day find the girl I'm meant to be with and things will continue to improve for me.
This guild gave me the confidence to improve myself and to BE myself, so it's good to see this community thrive and grow in this far-from-perfect world. But then again, this is A Little Piece of Heaven. A place where we're accepted and loved for being ourselves. So why should I be surprised... heart heart heart
