So, it's official. There now truly are 1,000 of you. One thousand. One THOUSAND. No matter how I say it, it's always a lot. One thousand. I don't think I even know one thousand people, and yet here I am having one thousand fans. This blows my mind.
I don't even remember making my account four years ago. Is that weird? I'm not sure. I just honestly can't remember making the account. I remember my friend telling me about this site where you could write on, because I liked to write, didn't I? I remember that conversation vivdly, but I can't recall actually making the account.
That just shows how much this website has become part of my life. I don't remember specific moments, I just remember a feeling. One of being welcome, one of belonging, and I just can't thank all of you enough for giving me those feelings.
Four years ago, I did not expect any of this to happen. I was so happy when I had a fan that wasn't one of my friends. The uknown fans turned into 5, which slowly turned into 12. It didn't go quickly, it didn't go at once, but slowly and steadily the number grew. I couldn't believe it when I reached 100, then 200, 300 and even 400, and more just kept coming. I simply couldn't believe it. Who was interested in my writing, anyway?
A lot of people, apparently.
This site has not only been a part of my life, but it has also shaped who I am. Thanks to this site, my writing has evolved so much, and my English has reached a level that I never thought possible. And no matter what happens from now on, nobody will be able to take that away from me.
For all of you wondering, I am working on a few things. A new story, an ORIGINAL story for once, that is really close to me. It has been in my mind for so long, I simply couldn't even imagine writing it. But here I am, planning the whole thing, on the night I made 1,000.
One thousand.
I am rambling. I honestly don't care.
Thank you. Thank you all so much. I love you all. Thank you.
