So many strangers to me that have touched me deeper than close friends are leaving when I'm just starting to get to know them. I hope I never feel I need to leave here. I hope I never feel the need to leave the only place in cyberspace I've called home. I hope I never feel I need to leave DP. I hope I never feel I need to leave the only place I've ever called home and meant it every day.

This place and the people here have helped me so much. You all have helped me in so many ways. You have helped me figure out who I am. You have helped me express myself. You have given me the needed push to do my best both in my writing and in life. You have also helped me with quite a few issues. You've helped me get through some issues with my dad, which I'm sure there's more of. You've listened to and tried to advise me with my daily worries and problems. You've cheered me up when all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball and sleep for the next few days.

This is just me saying thanks to you all. I know that when someone leaves it hurts so much. I also know that the hearts of DP are big enough to let in even some of the oddest and most lost people. Here's to DP and many more finding their way with the help of this community.
