...It's my CBversary.
...It's my CBversary...
I cannot believe I'm making this thread right now. It's so hard to believe that one year ago today, I made a post under "Lucy G." asking what an RP was.
But yes, I have been here for one whole year.

I owe a lot to the CB and its CBers. I wouldn't be who I am today without you lizards. I owe not driving myself crazy to the CB and its CBers- you all gave me social interaction and also, made me realize that I love writing stories and I love writing poetry.
You made me brave enough to step up and share a poem in front of my entire class, and that's how I found out two of my best friends in the world are poets, too.
You gave me NaNoWriMo and NaPoWriMo and all the pep talks in the world, and you made me feel like a good person. You're a large part of what inspires me to be a good person, every day.
I've completely goofed off on here and it's been fine. You've seen me at my cringiest and not judged. I've made some of the best friends I've ever had on here.
You all are awesome and I love you so, so much.
I'm not going to do shoutouts on this, because a) I don't have the time to tell everyone individually how much they mean to me, and b) I don't want to make anyone feel bad by leaving them out.
So just know this: If my heart was a night sky, each of you is a star in it, and each of you means something to me no one else ever could. You're all beautiful people and I love you so much. I'll always give you free advice and positivitea, just because you're you, and you're awesome.
You all have picked me up when I've needed it, and so I'll pick you up if you need it, too. Thank you so much for being here when I needed it and I hope I'll be here when you need me, too.
To the admins: you've seen some of the nastier aspects of me, and I'm so thankful to you that you didn't post those things I didn't mean and I'm so thankful that you haven't judged me. (I hope). Thank you for keeping us safe, and making us follow cyber security when we'd rather not. Thank you for reading through all our comments, every day, and making this community happen. Admins, we love you and we're grateful for you and I hope you know that <3
To the CBers, once again: Thank you for keeping me from going crazy this past year, thank you for helping me be brave enough to share my work, and thank you for always always always being there for me when I needed it. I know I've said this a lot of times already, but I love you lizards so much. Thank you for making this a place where I'm comfortable just writing down everything I've been feeling during the pandemic and sharing it and thank you for making me feel better when I needed it. *hugs everyone and doesn't let go*
Also: everyone who comments on this thread will get a reply saying why I love you and why I'm glad you're a part of the Chatterbox.
*confetti and glitter*
Oh, and of course, thank you for introducing me to the wonders of asterisks, and XDs and :Ds and :)s and <3s and ;)s and pretty much every other emoticon in existence. I love you all <3
Lastly: an apology. For all the threads I haven't made time to post on, for all the commitments I didn't keep, for all the things I let die, and for all the advice and pep talks I didn't give. For all the people I didn't help feel seen and for all the people I didn't send love to when they needed it. I'm so, so, sorry and I'm going to try to do better, this next year on the CB. You've made it through One Year of Lumi, and hopefully, I'll put you through many, many more <33

Thank you so much, Hazel!
We haven't talked much, but you're such a creative and kind person! From new photography contests to geeking out about books to coming up with guidelines for name changes to make sure everyone still gets along to being unafraid to ask questions, you're a really cool person and I'm so glad you're a part of the Chatterbox. I'm really excited to get to know you better as well!

Ahhh thank you for being such a postitive influence on the CB!!! You've always been the one person everyone can count on to make them feel better <33 You're such an essential part of the CB to me, I hope you stick around for many years to come :) *throws confetti* *hands you a slice of pizza*
(April 27, 2021 - 12:47 pm)
Silver! Thank you so much, that really means a lot <3 *accepts pizza* You're an amazing poet and writer, and a great friend.

You are a very cool Cber, and I hope that you stay around here for a while! Happy Cbeversary!

Hello, Lazerbat! Thank you so much :) I don't know if I've ever told you (or Bertha) this, but Bertha is a work of genius and whenever she posts, she always makes my day a little bit brighter. You're also a really cool CBer in general, from your name to the RPs you make (though I've unfortunately never participated in one) to your writing. You're such a creative and awesome CBer and I'm so glad to know you!
(April 28, 2021 - 11:02 am)
Happy CBerversary Lumi!!! Your message was so sweet! And I have to agree, everyone here is amazing in there own ways, and being here is so inspirational and fun! The CB is always a great place to be, bringing cheer and happiness, and unique, joyful personalities to each corner of the world. Lumi, thank you for all the light and love you've brought to the CB in your first year, and I hope you get to stay for years to come!
*Kazoo sounds!!!*
Thank you and congrates Lumi!

Hey, Neverseen! Thank you so much!
I don't know you too well yet, but even if I'd never talked to you ever, I'm pretty sure I'd like you just because of your name, because I maintain that Neverseen is the best KotLC book there is. But aside from that, I've really enjoyed talking to you about KotLC and geeking out about it in general and also, your funny zoom stories thread is/was a really cool idea! I can't wait to keep getting to know you :)
(April 28, 2021 - 11:05 am)
Yay! Happy CBversary! You are always kind and sweet to me :) I love seeing your posts and what you have to say!
xak says amzoh amazon? What do you want to order from amazon? <cakee> oh right I forgot you were in love with cake
(April 27, 2021 - 3:38 pm)
Thank you so much! clover, you're such a sweet person and your wallpaper thread was really cool :) I'm sorry I never got around to requesting one- they were amazing. xak is amazing and makes me laugh, and I love how you always have something nice to say <3 I don't know you that well, but I'm excited to know you better and I can already tell you're awesome :)

Happy CBversary Lumi!
You bring such a unique happiness to the CB, which I love!
You are so helpful and caring and give the best advice! And don't even get me started on your writing! When you write in the Forest RP, I get immersed in your writing and you are so good at expressing feelings and perspective in your writing!!
To many, many more years!
(April 27, 2021 - 3:59 pm)
Cynthiaaaaaaa! Thank you so much! Where do I even start? First of all, thank you so much for staying commited to the Forest RP and seeing it out to the end, and thank you for being an active RPer the entire time, and on top of that, thank you for reminding everyone to p o s t. You're an amazing writer, but aside from that, you're also an amazing person and friend. You always have something nice to say, and in the recent drama, you've really handled it very well, and I appreciate you helping everyone calm down when people were completely freaking out. I love you and I'm very glad to call you my friend <3 *hugs*
(April 28, 2021 - 11:12 am)
oh my gosh i meant to write this but somehow didn't...?
Anyways, Cynthia, I'm so glad you're a part of the chatterbox and I'm so glad that you're my friend <3 Love you!

Lumi!!!! Congratulations on your CBversary! You're such a wonderful, amazing, sweet, creative, eloquent person, and I'm infinitely glad that I have gotten the chance to know you this past year, and I can only hope that I can keep on knowing you for many years to come. Your beautiful pep talks have picked me up when I am at my worst, your goofy comments can always make me laugh, and your writing is some of the best I have seen from people our age. You are the last person who would need to apologize for anything, you have brought so much love and joy into the CB, and I think I can speak for at least most of us if not all to say that we are extraordinarily grateful to have you as a part of our world.
*showers environmentally friendly confetti all over Lumi*
Would you like some goat cheese from Abcde's cow?
