What has EP been for you?

For me, it's been an emotional roller coaster. I've made some great friends and I've lost some great friends. I've met a lot of creeps and spent a lot of hours exploring stories. I've poured my heart out sometimes and built up walls to protect myself. I've wanted to leave many times, but I always stay. I'm curious as to what EP has been for you. How long have you been here? What has your general experience of EP been?
