Today (officially today now, since it's past midnight) is my birthday. This is my first ever birthday on Tumblr and I wanted to take this opportunity to say how great everyone is on here. Since making my account last August (wow, was it really less than a year ago?), I have met so many great people and I would even go to say that they are some of my closest friends. I know most of you probably noticed, but I had a rough night. But as soon as I mentioned it, so many of you leapt to my ask box and fanmail to tell me that I was cared for and loved. Since the hour and a half since it officially became my birthday, I've already had so many birthday wishes. I just want to say that I wouldn't give up the people I've met on here for the world (okay, maybe the world, but only for the safety of the whole planet). Every time I've been depressed or had the urge to cut, I've come here and you all have honestly made me feel better. Even if it was a normal day and we barely conversed, you almost definitely brightened that day for me. So, thank you. To all of you. To those I've talked to, and those I haven't. Hell, even to those who don't care enough to read this whole paragraph. Thank you. Because, honestly, without the support and understanding I've found with you all, I I may have not even made it to this seventeenth year. I love you guys.
