I just want to take a moment to comment about these past ten years for me, so sorry if this gets long.
Wow, ten years. I’ll be frank, I don’t remember much since I was in 2nd grade ten years ago, so I’ll go forward about two years.
Eight years ago, I was in a summer tennis group, and this one day, it was cancelled because it was about to rain. I didn’t listen and dragged my mom to the park anyway to wait. It was only a ten minute walk, anyway. Turns out this other girl did the same thing, so after talking for a bit my mom and I walked her home since it was on the way and we’ve been best friends. She is my older sister, and it’s hard to believe I’ve known her for this long. While we may not talk every day, we are still very close and I still love her.
Five years ago, when my first girlfriend asked me out, I learned I was gay. I knew something was wrong because I had to pretend to like guys, and it never felt right. While I don’t miss my ex, for the first time, a part of myself actually made sense, and my parents were and still are extremely supportive of me being gay. I then learned that I was non binary a couple years later.
The last four-five years alone, though, have been so busy and have changed so much in my life. I discovered Thomas Sanders, Markiplier, and mainly the Pshattuck Productions channel. Through that, I have been inspired to become a voice actor and I have learned I absolutely love editing videos.
In September of last year, after I’ve been watching Pshattuck Productions for a few years, I decided to make a fan-server for an old dnd series and the dm ended up joining. That week I somehow won a contest and was invited to do a oneshot with her and other members of the channel, and now I am extremely lucky to be able to call them my friends. I don’t know where I would be right now if I had never made that server and never met any of them.
And then through Thomas’s videos, I have begun to feel better about myself these past few months, especially about my gender identity. I have gotten the chance to meet some wonderful friends through the community and I’m so thankful. I want to just thank every single person I have met this decade, I couldn’t have done it without you all.
