Thank you roleplaygateway

Today is my 19th birthday. I took work off and have nothing to do all day, but I've been thinking about writing this for a while now. I've been an on again, off again member of roleplaygateway for 4 years now, since back when I was 15. In hindsight, my writing was shitty, my interests were dumb, and I wasn't all that smart. I came to roleplaygateway because someone I knew on another forum had posted a link here, and I was interested. I never thought I would become as invested as I have since then.

I don't think many people know, but I've dealt with depression for much of my life. As much as I try to tell myself to suck it up and be a man, there were days when I can't even get out of bed. Getting up and going to work was the worst thing imaginable. I would think about quitting on the spot every single minute while I was working, but I didn't. I had something to look forward to. Video games would lose their appeal when I was in a depression. Sports couldn't get my attention. TV made it worse. I had to create something, and I'm not good at drawing or painting or sculpting, and I can't sing or play any instruments, but anyone can type.

Roleplaygateway is what got me through most days. Long days in boring classes were spent thinking about my character in my current roleplay. Granted, I probably should have payed attention in Pre-Calc, but roleplaygateway allowed me to not just create something wonderful, but also to be someone other than myself, and even make friends doing it. It took my mind off of how I felt about my own life.

I'm rambling at this point. I know this isn't as eloquently written as some other life stories, but it will have to do. the point is, roleplaygateway and her community helped me through a very rough time in my life, and I might not have made it to today without you guys, so thank you all so much. I love you guys.
