Exactly one year ago, I made this post in the hopes of finding new people to talk to, but what I found is so much more. I was able to find friends who I now treasure deeply.

I am not here to to brag or to give assurance that you would get your desired outcome “if you try hard enough.” Maybe it was sheer luck that we were able to find each other out here. But out of the many posts here expressing sadness and disappointment, I hope that this is proof that finding a friend here is still indeed possible.

To the friends I’m referring to who might be reading this, happy anniversary to us! That’s one year down and many more to go I hope!

And to you who’s reading this, I wish you all the best and I do hope that you get to find what you’re looking for. You are a great person and do not let anyone else tell you otherwise 💖
