Thank You

Thank you, KH-Vids, for all that you did for me.

Four years ago, you helped me through a difficult time in my life. My younger brothers have Autism, and it had gotten so bad that my own family was pretty much ignoring me. I was homeschooled, so I didn't have many friends anyway, but what friends I did have were never allowed to come over because my parents were ashamed of my brothers' disability. Long story short, I REALLY needed someone to talk to. So I made friends on the internet and created an online persona as a way to "escape" from my real life. I created my own "Magical Cookie Castle ~For All Cookie Lovers~" to give myself a place that represented innocence and simplicity. A place that I had control over when I had very little control over my real life.

I know it sounds weird to say that a forum had a huge impact on my life. But it did.

"But Amby! If we had such a big impact, why did you leave?"

I went to high school. I made real friends. My brothers were taken to a group home that would take better care of them than we ever could. I needed to focus on rebuilding myself. (Plus my "forum posting time" was replaced by webchats with a certain member...)

Anyways, sorry if I bored you. I just wanted to say thank you.

Also, I wanted to apologize for being a complete noob back then. I read through some of my old posts, and... *shudders*

Oh yeah, and in case anyone's curious? DF and I are still together. A lot of people doubted it would ever work out, but it looks like it has. He drives down to see me almost every week now. :)

Sorry for the sappy post. Just feeling really nostalgic and whatnot.

 

Glad to see things are going normal and well adjustedly with you. Now get back out there and do more of the real life things for us. 'Cause god knows half of us aren't going to get the chance.

 

Good to see you post, Amber. I'm Ghetto by the way. Tell DF I said hi, and I hope everything continues to go well for both of you!

 

Hey Amber, nice to see you around. Really glad you and DF are still at it.

Cheers.

 

Hello Amber! It is wonderful to see you are doing well. The Cookie Castle creation was understandable, and it provided joy to many of the members who graced it as well, you know. I used to post there a good amount as well before. Thank you for that. I hope your life continues to be very, very pleasant!

 

Welcome to the forum! We hope you'll enjoy your stay here at KH-Vids. Remember to read the rules before posting and be sure to check out all the sections to find stuff that interests you.

Spoiler: Serious Reply

No need for thanks, at least to me. Just knowing that I and all your other friends from here helped you is good enough for me.

Hey, KHV had a similar impact for me. It helped me realize that I express myself best through writing. And if I hadn't realized that, I might never have experienced my first kiss. Hell, my best friend and I might not be bound for life by my secret (at least irl) unrequited love for her if not for this forum.

To be honest, I almost wish I could have ended more like you when I started high school. If I had made more "real" friends, I might not be so obsessed with the one girl that I like. I'm happy with my life and I wouldn't want it to be any different (even if that meant better), but I can't help thinking that it could have been better.

I'd like to point out that I always knew it would work. Just, y'know, pointing that out.


Thanks for the post!

Ah, What?, always a model mentlegan.

 

Hey Amber! Welcome back to KHV! Now give us your soul! Anyway, I'm Ventus108 but everyone calls me Ventus. It's always nice to see an older member return even if I didn't know them. Anyway, guess I'll see ya around. Cheers.

 

Nice to see you again (I'm Tummer by the way).

Good to see you posting again. You were a member I was always happy to see around because of the way you always seemed to be positive. It really rubbed off on me with my whole situation.

 

Amber, I'm glad everything is going great for you. I don't know if you could forget me, but it's me Axel_ftw. You and DF should come around here more often. But if you don't, I hope things continue you well for you and DF.

 

You're welcome.

I'm Hayabusa by the way.

 

Oh yeah, real life. I'll get right on that... as soon as I quit procrastinating. ^^;

The conversation went something like this:

"Hey, do you remember a user named GhettoXemnas?"
"Um... Kind of?"
"Oh. Well he says hi. :)"
"Oooookay?"
"Oh yeah, I made a thread on KH-Vids about feels and stuff cuz I was feeling nostalgic."
"You could have opened with that...."

Spoiler: Seriously?

They finally fixed the spoiler tag? Awesome! I hope I'm using this tag correctly...

I don't need no stinking rules! I'll post whatever I feel like!

I'm glad I was helpful. :)

 

That last line makes me think of this gif.

Yep! And you are! It's a wonderful new tool. You just have to remember to put what the spoiler is about.

He told me he's not planning on coming back until he finishes his stories. :/

I remember you. :)

I gathered. :P

 

Yayyy, I'm remembered. I also wanted to say Thank you to you as well. I believe you were one of my first friends on here. You were always happy and cheery which I liked, and always nice to everybody. I just wanted to say Thank you for being you.

 

I never knew you.
Congratulations, by the way.
Really.

 

I actaully saw a few of your posts in the castle thread when I was going through it earlier.

I like your name. And your avatar. Pretty cool.

 

Oh yeah? Nothing bad I hope

 

pretty great

 

Nah, just normal talky stuff.

 

You know, it's kinda funny how Amby was once a pretty cool member who made some of the most entertaining threads that didn't devolve into flame wars and is now the new girl to everyone who wasn't around for her.
