#thelastoftheinnocent

Looking back through all the messages I've ever received and I'm realizing something from these one-sided conversations I have saved ...

I've met amazing wonderful people here on Tumblr that have helped me in minuscule, amazing, ripple-affect ways or who I have just had a lot of fun with. And, that because I'm not on here often I don't talk to them anymore. And I'm so sorry that I've let amazing people slip out of my life when I owe quite a bit to them.

So. Shout-out to:

Also a shout-out to the people both in my tumblr-life and real-life (but that's a silly thing to call it because tumblr is part of that?) that put up with me years ago, even one year ago because I was so different; I was less, broken-down, and had given up on being happy. You put up with me being moody and sad and let me rant and cry at you and perhaps call you a horrible friend and yet ... you were still there for me. And I can never thank you enough even if we may not talk at all now in life.

I am such a different person now, in this moment, on the couch that I am sitting on than I was 5 years ago, 1 year ago, 7 months ago, 2 weeks ago. And each person I've listed and many more who may have even just shared a single message with me have changed my life, my view on things, my personality, my openness, my ability to love ...

I really hope I've impacted someone (or that I will) as much as you people have impacted me.

My dad's bring his tablet (ugh) and even at home it's not good with internet connection. So unless I get to sneak into an internet cafe I won't be on for two weeks and I am not putting up a queue.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to not be spammed by me. ; )
