2000th post. :)

[Fkeu'itan]

I know that it may be slightly insignificant to some of you, given you have almost 6000 posts. (You know who you are) But this is a milestone for me. (Besides, I wanted to do this for 1000 but I got lost and it just flew by.) I also know that reaffirmiation may be getting a little tired now but I just thought i'd take this time to say how much everyone here means to me.

First, allow me to share this; Sam KDC - Selfless

The diversity in this forum is simply staggering - people of so many races, cultures, ideals, religions, walks of life... yet - for the most part - we all share a universal compassion, a common care for one another. Everyone here has become a real second family to me and despite the thousands of miles that separate us all and the limitations of mere language, our emotions do not go unfelt.

I have read words that travel the distance and go straight to the soul.

What I feel I have here is a sanctuary. A place where I can express myself, to pour out my very heart and soul without fear of hated or mocking. But also a place of hope. A place that shows a shaft of light through the rainclouds - as we are the people who will now make the future and must never forget this fact.

What i'm esentially saying to everyone here, in this amazing place is,

Thank you.

Thank you all for achieving the unbelivable,
thank you for unflinching strength and honesty,
thank you for courage, thought, unity, laughter, sorrow and perhaps most importantly - true love and acceptance.

I have loved every single second of this community, ever since I first met some of you back in those first dark days of January.

And I know this for a fact. I will continue loving every single second we all share together, as every one is a splinter of glory from the board that we all walk.

Irayo ma Na'via!
