Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

My (late) CBversary!

So, my CBversary was actually March 2nd, 2016, and I just realized today that I must have missed it! I made my first thread (which was also my first post) ever then, two years ago (gosh, only two years? It seems so much longer than that...), though I joined Kyngdom a few months before.

I've been so blessed to meet all you amazing people, and even find friends here. It's been especially good for me, because since I moved about three years ago, I've had no friends in my state. I have the most amazing, close friends ever, and though we keep in touch, we all live hours away from each other. But having you guys here really helped me. You've always been there for me when I needed it, to talk with me, to encourage me, or to just send virtual hugs. Thank you.

I love the CB so much. I've never seen another site like it, and I'm so glad I found this unique, amazing place. I fit in here. I found people like me--a community of writers and artists who are creative and imaginative. Who are kind, smart, and talented, and who I'm not afraid to talk to and be myself around, and share my ideas with. And I feel genuinely safe here, unlike on most places on the internet. I feel safe, because it's the CB, and I can trust you guys, and the Admins are always here, reviewing every post, and keeping us safe.  

And wow, have I changed. Reading through some of my old threads, I realize how immature and, well, strange I was when I was younger. It's kind of embarrassing, actually. XD My writing has improved so much since I joined, and I've learned so much from this place, and you guys. I've grown and matured so much since being here. I've written stories and poetry and I even finished a novel while I've been here, and I don't think I'd ever have been able to do that, or a great many other things, if it hadn't been for the CB. 

I'll be so sad whenever I leave. Sad doesn't even begin to cover it. I've had such an amazing experience being here, all two years of it. And I hope I won't be leaving anytime soon. I sure don't plan on it!

I feel like I should put something really inspiring and eloquent and sentimental here, but I'm not very good at that, so I'll just hand out free pie and watch as confetti explodes from nowhere. :3
