I feel like my time here has expired...

Life has changed so much for me in the last 4 years but for the better.
I remember I had joined ep back in 2013 ish because I was so lonely, needed an outlet and the opportunity to try to connect to others.

And in return I made some really amazing lifelong friends so much so when it closed I knew I wanted to come here.

2 friendships in particular blossomed so much we met in person. It was so easy/natural, it was so relaxed it truly was the best thing.

As my life has changed I find I'm less focused on wanting to be on the Internet.

I can conclude that I am immensely happy, everyday I wake up happy and singing. Why, because I'm not working in a hell hole. I'm also bombarded daily with affection from my beautiful dog, who makes my heart explode.

I feel like over the years the friendships I've made here and the advice offered has really helped to better prepare me for the world. And I am truly grateful.

I also hope that in return I've been a beacon of light for others.

I don't know if I'll ever delete this account, but I have found myself a little too tired so that's why I visit so infrequently mostly hearting posts and questions.

How has this community helped you?

@Lilnonames haha I remember you went through a blocking phase and would block people in posts if they were taking the piss... You've always been a real one. Funny, and so random. But that's the best thing about this place, you meet such a mix bag of people it really provides a wholesome experience (except the crazies)
