I'm sad to announce that this will most likely be my last day on until next year, and to all the friends I've made on here from the last year, and to all the other people who've I've had amazing experiences with I would just like to say thank you. This site has helped me greatly, and the majority of the people here on this platform are very helpful and friendly. I'll miss you all, and if I do return next year, I hope you all will be here too 。.:☆*:･'(*⌒―⌒*)))
