#happybeyondwords

This is seriously the best morning ever. It’s actually quite hard to put into words what I exactly feel. I feel so thankful for everything, and so moved by the fact that the jury actually chose me as the winner. I’m so glad that I got a chance to play together and that despite the fact that we  clashed we have we are getting along in the reunion chat. I am thankful to each and every juror who voted me (I nailed it when I said it was going to be Jack, Katie, Mary and Foxx!). You guys are so lovely and it’s been so nice to talk to you all again. I am also moved beyond words that me and Scott have reconciled. It’s one of the best things that could have happened to me this season, honestly.

I would also like to say a big thank you to Shaelyn and Maria. Thank you so much for letting me return this season and try again after Matsu, which was a pretty disappointing season for me all in all. I wasn’t even sure I would get into Ancient Greece but here I am at the end of the day, the last brawn standing, and a winner. You guys were fantastic hosts, and should be proud of yourselves since you managed to do everything so well. 

I would also like to thank Jake B and Jaemin, the hosts of Matsu. You guys were such excellent hosts and we already had a good connection in that season. You were all supporting me this season too and it was just so touching. I am very proud that Matsu was my first season, I wouldn’t trade that for anything. IT must be so great for you to see one Matsu player win after another. I mean it’s our third win in a row now. You guys seriously put together a top notch cast. If people from our season keep on winning, I think we will honestly be able to say (or maybe already) that this is the best season ever.

The Matsu cast is honestly like my family in this community. You have been so supportive to me and now I would like to thank you all one by one.

Simon, you are honestly the best friend I ever made here. You are incredibly sweet and such a precious person to me. I am so fortunate to have gotten to know  you and I know that we will be friends for a long time. You were for me this whole time and I appreciate it more than I can say. I am so glad that we got to play together in Matsu, I just really wish our alliance could have lasted more than it did. But sadly, my exams messed it up for us. Your goodbye message to me in Matsu was one of the most touching things I’ve ever read. Love you a lot!

Jen, during Matsu I would never have thought we would end up being such close friends. But here we are, talking pretty much every day now. You have honestly become one of my closest friends in this community and you literally carried me through this final tribal council and you were there for me every time I needed a shoulder to cry on. You are such a nice and genuine person and I feel so fortunate to have met you! I know we will keep in touch for a long time.

Dom, I honestly didn’t think I’d end up even talking to you because we barely ever talked in Matsu (and I remember complaining about the dancing Cochran lol). But after the season we’ve talked more and I’ve actually started to really like you. You were hardcore rooting for me and you were there to talk during one of the darkest moments I experienced in this FTC. You have also been really supportive of my art and I’ve found that you are actually a really talented artist. 

Daniel, I am so glad that we still sometimes talk. You were one of the first people I met in Matsu and my first ally. I was so touched that you were following the game so closely and that you were there for me during this hard time. You have been so good to me and I’m so fortunate to have met you. Thank you so much for being there for me!

There have also been others from Matsu who have rooted for me. Candace, Cody and others - I am so thankful that you have supported me and I hope we can be more in touch in the future!

Big thanks also to Sam, Amelia, Jessica, Casey, Regan and others who have also supported me!

I’d also like to thank some of my org friends who also play in Tumblr and have supported me.

Wesley (from Machu Picchu), you are one of the best friends I have made online. Aside from being gorgeous  you area total sweetheart and I absolutely love talking to you. We have such a good connection and I know I can always tell you about my worries and I know you won’t judge me. I can’t wait til I will actually have the chance to meet you in real life. You are like a brother to me.

Dan (from Galapagos and Machu Picchu), you are by far one of my favorite season buddies ever. You were my main rival in Hawaii, the first season I won and I think you are a fantastic player. I probably won’t get to play with you again but I always have fun watching you in a season. I’ve enjoyed following you in the two seasons you played in and I’m really honored I got to be your loved one!

Alf (From Galapagos and Olympics), you are one of my closest friends and I feel so fortunate to have met you. You are like a brother to me and we’ve been thorugh quite a lot during the time we’ve known each other. You are such a genuine and a lovely person and I find it to be tragic that weäve never really played together. I hope we will be more in touch in the future. Love you  lot!

All in all, thanks everyone for a great season. Michelle and Dustin, it was a lot of fun playing with you two and I’m really glad we’ve built the friendships that we did.

Thank you everyone for welcoming me in the community. I feel that I have found my home here and I intend on staying put here.

All in all, thank you for an iconic season! After everything I feel it’s time to put on some Star Wars and disappear into my bed. Star Wars, especially Darth Vader got me through that FTC really. I almost even posted a confessional where I transformed myself into Darth Vader. Who knows, I might even post it someday.

Also.. before I go, one last request..
