@Akayaofthemoon @Saarebas @Loony I really appreciate it you guys, I'll still do everything I can to stay in touch as much as possible even if things do get bumpy, and I should still have enough time to at least post once every other day, and this RP has never really been more demanding than that.
I tried to promise myself that I wouldn't post anything too feelsy, but I've been wanting to say this and now seems like about the best time. As I've sort of hinted at before, for some reason or another, literally everyone who used to be close to me in person has gotten involved in drugs and crime on some level. I honestly have no idea how things got this bad, you never would have guessed it looking at who they were 12 years ago which is about when I met them all, and they came from fairly diverse backgrounds. Maybe it's just terrible luck or the economy or something, or maybe somehow it has to do with where I live, but that's not really what's important.
For a long time I was really depressed about basically losing so many people I cared deeply about and just sort of figured I'd have to make do without a group of friends... and I guess what this is leading into is how cool it is that I met you all. I know we've all only known each other for a couple of months and internet friendships aren't quite the same as in-person ones, but right now you guys are just about the best ones I've got. I forgot how much I missed having a group of people I could vent to when I needed to and who would listen to me go on about the inane crap I love, and I just wanted to say thank you.
