I know we've not always been on good terms Raz throughout the years I've been on Runouw now, and I know we've not really spoken that much except from sometimes in chat. But I actually really respect you for admitting that, and I don't see you as an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (you probably thought I did, or maybe not, idk, but I don't anyway). Even though I've had my ups and downs with many people on this site, whether it was last summer, this time 2 years ago when I broke up with Link or just at any uncomfortable point in between, I still see Runouw.com as a second family. And because of this, I've not held grudges from these bad times, not even for the people who were directly involved. I just see it as though we're a family that get mad at each other once in a while like every family does. I've always had an almost sixth-like sense when people are down, I can just tell sometimes. Little things here and there can be said and I pay attention to detail. I'm just glad that the site could support you through these hard times, same with Darth too. In some ways I just love this thread so much because everyone is sharing and this is really proof of just how close and wonderful our community is.
Yeah okay so I'm being sad and optimistic again.
But I'm just happy for you guys, and besides, it takes a lot of courage to step up and say how you really feel/have felt.

I strongly believe that, through every triumph and failure, through every bond made and broken, through every amazing work or embarrassing garbage I've created, through every movement I've made and every action I've halted, this site helped me learn how to become a human being.

THIS ^ whole thread.
This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about. This is putting yourself out there, and helping your fellow man. This is standing up for what you believe in. This is caring. Caring is the most powerful thing you can ever do. This helps change the world. All the most horrible things in the world happen when people stop caring. Fight the apathy. Care.
And darth, we love you too.
Don't worry that you can't do more for your friend. Be there for him as much as you can. Remind him that he did the right thing, and the best he could. Encourage him to tell his story, and encourage others to stand up against horrible acts. Speak out yourself. Sometimes all we have is our voice. Sometimes that is an incredibly powerful tool. Our voices have already done powerful things right here, and I join you in your appreciation of the wonderful core community we have here. Caring helps. I am proud to care, and express that care every way that I can. I am proud of you for having found that within yourself.
I'm just overwhelmed with emotion right now, myself.

Well, as for me goes, this site gave me something incredibly powerful: a motivation in life. In here I discovered what I wanted to do in life: help other people. By just being around and talking to many different people and trying to help them with their problems, I discovered that just watching other people being happy makes me happy. That is why I want to be a teacher, to be a good friend, to talk with people, even though I am bad at all of those things. But that doesn't matter, because with time you get better at anything. : )
I am bad with long posts, so I should cut it down here. I just want you guys to know that you helped me become the guy I am now, with all the flaws and virtues I have, and I couldn't be more thankful.

Agreeing with lordpat here. Runouw.com has given me so much - and in fact, that brings me onto something.
Go around the forums on the internet and look at how the community speak with one another, and how close they are. I'll bet you that they do not communicate like us. We at Runouw are friendly, caring and understanding to one another - we truly DO act like a big family.
As long as you understand that we care, darth, that's all I ask. Do not feel like you 'burden' us with any problems. We'll help you and care for you.

After reading almost the entire thread there isn't really much I can say. Besides that I care too.
I may have a completely different personal expression in different forums like Forum Games and the survivor ORG thing, but past those, when it comes to personal feelings and such, I really do feel like I've been blessed that I've encountered this community.

Haha, same. I may come across kind of obsessive in Level Designer, jokey in Off-Topic, moderate-y in Site Discussion, but at the end of the day the reason I love Serious Discussion so much is because I get to share all these awesome inner feelings with you guys. I don't get attached to sites easily, and somehow I got attached to this site pretty quickly. Pretty much all the forums I joined afterwards I just couldn't find myself attached to them.

Yeah, it's true that this place has a friendly tone to it. The community isn't split up like some forums out there, there's more unity here than what I've seen elsewhere, and it's the only place I've actually stuck around.
I may mainly show up to update my art topic and then leave, but I do try to show up for some sort of discussion, as small as it may be. I'm surprised I even stayed, given the fact that I never log in as often as I used to, but that's life for you, it's hard to find the time to do things you want to do. Sadly, I've been feeling kind of dull, like my life has become really boring to the point that things become a daily routine. I'm hoping to clear that up with art, letting out some creativity along with it. This site is a great place to wind down and release all that stress, regardless of how crazy and hyperactive some of you guys seem.
I'm also not one to talk much on here either. I do the same thing, I think way too much, can't stop asking myself what might come about from a post I might send. I think too hard on the consequences of my actions. It is easy to come up with reasons for not doing things, much easier than giving yourself a reason to do something. I even do this sort of thing on mundane posts that wouldn't have had any significance anyways, it's just that I keep to myself way too often. I even had a friend who once described my overall attitude as 'Zen-like', always within myself and never really speaking often, but to be honest, it's just out of fear for what I might say.
Oh well, sometimes you just have to think positive, but even that can be difficult sometimes.

I realized that I hadn't done as I had promised earlier and quoted the Apathy is the enemy post from your last thread to my thread To anyone who needs help. Fixed that. Place of honor, right at the end (and a link to this, since it is so beautiful ).
