That kind of snuck up on me!! Jeez well uh..

..okay I was about to get up and start my dinner but I guess I'll do this instead because I've been planning this for a while..ish!!


TEF has given me a lot of things. A creative outlet. Friends I wouldn't have otherwise met. A place to relax. I know things aren't always perfect and sometimes we get our hackles up and fight with each other, but at the end of the day we come together and I love that.

This game and, more importantly, this community has seen me through so many changes in my life. I went from a high school graduate living with an abusive father to a federal contractor working their way to that sweet, sweet federal employment who gets to live with their astoundingly caring fiance. Looking back at my old posts (PRO TIP please don't look at mine, it's embarrassing) I can see how much I've learned and SURPRISINGLY I've matured as well though lbr I'll always be an idiot who loves to laugh.

All of you have taught me about art, about writing, about self-expression, about love and family. I honestly wish I could thank each and every one of you for everything that you've done, but that would take a while lmaaoo also I'm hungry, guys. I have a sweet potato and some soup waiting for me. ok honestly my stomach is growling so much and I was going to write and DRAW THIS NICE THING FOR YALL TO SAY THANKS but that's just how life works.

Here's to the years to come, friends!
