    Well guys, today is a really special day for me, because exactly one year ago, I discovered Emptyclosets.com. That was the day my life was saved (Indirectly of course). This past year, I've met so many amazing people here, friends I now cherish with all my heart, and I've met the most important person in the world to me here as well, and for that, I am forever thankful.

    The help and support from those of you who helped me figure out who I truly was, and for that, I am forever thankful.

    The support and cheering on from y'all that gave me the courage to come out to my friends, family, and everyone. For that, I'm forever thankful.

    The opportunity to help others on this site that need help and advice that I may not even know the answer to, but things work out anyway, For that I'm forever thankful.

    Everything that's happened on this site with me, the good and the bad, it was all necessary in getting me to where I am today. I love EC so much, and it means the world to me. To those of you who were around a whole year ago, Thank you so much for the warm welcomes you gave me that eventually brought me to the realization that EC is basically my second home.

    and Lastly, to the staff, for granting me the opportunity to be a moderator on this website, and to continue to help in ways that I couldn't have possibly even fathomed.

    I love you guys. :slight_smile: (&&&)

    Oh, and incase you guys were worried about the title of this thread xD It's just a quote from a Flyleaf song. I had to include some type of musical reference in here xD

    Happy ECversary! Now it is time for your induction in the super not-so-existing-also-not-very-secret-possibly-made-up-on-the-spot order of the long time posters (SNSEANVSPMUOTSO). Rectus Dominus!

    It's really amazing how time flies sometimes.

    And it is us who should be thankful to you for being so awesome and spending your time here. I agree with Pauline. I honestly can't imagine not knowing you...

    Lots of anniversary (*hug*)

    Yay Joey! It's awesome that you're here; EC would definitely not have been the same without you.
