So, today I'm now 18.....I'm now legally an adult....and you know, I feel happy, and yet, a bit sad in some cases. Being an adult is crazy to imagine, and now that I am an adult, my whole time as a teenager has come to a close, and a new chapter of my life as opened up.

When I joined things like high school, discord, gamejolt, etc. in 2019, I didn't even know who I was back then, my whole life and mindset was all so different. The fact that the person I am now is completely different than the person I was all those years ago, do I think I'm the greatest? of course not, I know I'm not the best in some cases, but to know that I've improved so much, is really special to me.

From the time I grew up from 2019 to 2024, I not only learned about myself, but I got to learn about others, being around some truly inspiring and talented people, people that I am glad to call my friends. As some of my friends have come and gone, I've been glad to have them all be a part of my life and my journey.

As much as I didn't like myself during the years I was at high school, I'm also happy for it. There's been some great memories I've made throughout these 5 years, and I'm thankful that these things got to happen in my life. It goes for anything really, as much as something bad may suck in your life, you can't help but feel truly grateful to experience it, because you get to learn a lot from the things you've done or seen, and know how to improve on them.

And now that I'm 18, I'm happy to say I've improved so much since 2019, and will continue to change and evolve as a person with the years to come. So really, I just wanted to say, thanks, thanks for all being there in my life (no this isn't me saying this cause I'm gonna die lol), but yeah, thanks for being there for me, whether it was a passby, or a long time friend, I truly appreciate it.

And now, I'd just like to say a few words to my good friends who I've known over the years:

@KostaVesta - 5. Whole. Years. Geez dude we've been friends for that long, we need a fucking life lol. We met in 2019 when I was just a dumb 12 year old and you were a 14 year old, and now you're doing university, and soon I'll be doing that too. We've both had such great times together and I really consider you my closest friend on discord, and to be honest, I'd consider you my irl friend from how long we've known each other hehe. But still, thanks man, and I hope one day we get to meet each other in person!

@pandatee01 - Boy howdy, 4 years, that's how long we've known each other since 2020. At first I didn't know what to think of you, and while some people have seen you as a bad person, I've gotten to know the real you, and in truth you're a really kind and funny person who is often missjudged. But I'm glad that you're starting to get the hang of things in your life, and I know that you'll continue to improve as years go by, thanks for being there man, and I'm glad I got to be there for you.

@Flythingy - My god, what is there to say. You are seriously one of the most sweetest girls I've met. You're always so humble and kind, and you always put others before yourself. Despite the crap people have given you in your life, you're not only a talented artist, but you're also a very sweet and kind friend, despite us only knowing each other for a year, I've gotten to know you so well, and I'm very happy to call you my friend, I would never be mad at you, because you are a gem, and nobody could ever hate you. Thanks Star, you're a treasure!

@cole528 - You're a G man, literally. You're absolutely fun to be around and just overall a chill and down to earth guy. Even if you may see some people online as people who only give a shit about what you do for them that's funny, let me be the first to say that I genuinely care about you man. You're not only great for your humour, you're just a guy who's chill and fun to talk to, take it to your grave that you got to make this stupid little starman smile lol, in all seriousness, thanks man, I hope to continue making memories with you!

@-Lonner- - You're a furry ew lol. You're both full of surprises and also easy to talk to lol. You've been such a blast hanging out with even if our conversations got weird xd. In the end, I'm very proud of you that you got to stand up for yourself and get to be more of yourself around your parents, that took courage, and I'm proud of you for that, I'm glad you're able to talk more with me and others, all in all, thanks for the good times!

@GeorgeWKush - The legend himself, the one who helped kickstart the FNATI voices (in my eyes you always will be, shush) When I first met you, I honestly thought I wasn't good enough for you, like I felt like I needed to be better for you, but in truth, it was almost the opposite lol. You're not only very talented but very sweet, and despite you not getting to show it to everyone much, you're genuinely a really awesome person, both as a creator, and a friend, even if we only met a year ago, I think you're a really awesome person that I wish people got to see more of, I'm glad you and I got to know each other, thanks a lot man!

@SillyKat - You're way too silly for me, lol but for real, I almost feel like I owe you something, it's because of you I've been able to get a start on people seeing my talent in voice acting, which is almost funny considering how when we first met it was the other way around hehe. But in truth, you're a really awesome guy and friend, and I'm glad I got know you man, thanks for everything!

@sfd28 - You are a complete, and utter weirdo lol. As much as you may come off as a dick to many people, I do think you're a really fun guy to be around and fun to talk to, that and also you're really talented with your artpieces, you may think that not a lot of people will like you for who you are, but I know that's not true, if you one day give it a chance, I'm sure many more others will come to like you just like I do, you're an amazing friend and I'm glad to have met you for what it's worth heh, for real, thanks dude.

@Capped_miner_369 - We may not always connect, but for the times we do, I'm glad to get a chance to talk with you, you're a fun person to be around and fun to talk to. Plus your minecraft animations be good as fuck lol. For real though, thanks for being there man, I appreciate it!

@Solar-Neon - A lot of mixed emotions honestly, we've been through so much together, both good and bad, but in the end, we both have stuck it through. Despite all the crap we've given each other, I still consider you a really good friend, you're really sweet even if you don't show it heh, and I'm honestly very proud of how far you've come since the first time we've met, here's to many more memories Solar!

And of course, I thank YOU, I thank you for being a part of this journey with me, for being a part of my world (My galaxy you could say :P) and I really do hope we get to make more memories in the future, for all of us, happy 18th birthday to me!
