Happy Clanniversary, Goldenfawn!

Two years ago, winter of 2016, February 1st, I made my first comment to BlogClan. I then proceeded to reply to my own comment with “Ikr D:”, and that was the start of my downfall. Just kidding, sorta 😉. When I joined BlogClan, my grandma had recently died, I was being bullied by someone at school, and I was overall a mess. By clicking that one link, I opened a world that I never knew was possible. I met the kindest people I have ever met, people who would be there for me through my cringiest phases (seriously guys I can’t believe you stayed by my side during that I’m so sorry), my saddest days, and were there for me every single day I needed them. I started therapy soon after joining BlogClan, and got on medicine for my depression a year later. You guys kept me upright and caught me when I fell, which I can never possibly thank you enough for. Throughout these past two years, I’ve grown a lot as a person, and I still have a long way to go. Without BlogClan and the kind people that I met, I don’t know what type of person I would be. I went from Goldenfur (*shivers*), to Goldenstreak, to Goldenfawn. I came out as gay to my family and friends, and then came out as genderqueer. I’ve watched many of you grow as people beside me, and I’ve also watched people go as happens with everything. We’ve gone through a lot of changes, moving blog, moving to other sites to chat, and you all have always stayed the same. Kind, strong, and absolutely gorgeous people. I love you, and even though I haven’t been as active, and probably won’t be, the blog is always going to hold a special place in my heart.
