Default 1 Year Anniversary!! :)

Today marks my 1 year anniversary when I joined EC and made a huge step in coming out by coming out to my sister, Tina (Sakura). It's been a big year filled with new friends and a new confidence in myself. I'm hoping for more progress in the next year to come. I have come out to most all my family and all my friends (well the ones that mean anything to me). It feels great to be out and not worry what people think about me. I haven't ever been as happy with my life as I am right now! I want to send a special shoutout to those who have been there for me when I need them: Tina (Sakura), Gabe (Goinstag), Nick (Crypt), Ron (Lostinthought9), Eric, Filip, Matt (Hazzmatic_Force), Brandon (Beertruck), Harry, Michael (Redstate) and Bryan (Allegro molto)! I'm sure there are a few I left off.

Thanks for all the encouragement and support you guys from EC have given me!
