Three years ago today, on February 14,Β  I made the decision to dedicate myself to this website. Like most, I had no idea how much it would absolutely change my life. I have taken my share of breaks throughout these years. Stepping away from the website for my own mental health. Then returning again and always welcomed back with open arms. GratefulΒ  does not seem like a strong enough word to describe how I feel towards those who still have my back after all this time. I am simply to happy to have people I can trust in this community, and to have the opportunity to connect with new people from all around the world.Β 

There is no doubt in my mind that this is the place I want to be. It may have taken me several years to find total comfort in my own skin, confidence within myself, and peace. But that is what a day like today is all about to me: reflection and a celebration of how far I have come. And you better believe I would not be where I am today without my supporters, my friends. You guys have been my backbone through it all. Thank you for a wild three years.Β β™‘
