Congratulations!
You've been a member on PokéHeroes for more than 3 Years now!

Oh, wow, I forgot this was coming up!! This has been such a wonderful journey these past few years, and it's been so cool to meet so many of you all. Looking forwards to the years to come!

I would like to suggest a new Olympic sport. I genuinely think this could be the hit of the century. May I introduce:

Paintball with boba pearls.

Happy National Pi Day, PH!!!!! One of my absolute favorite holidays.

Happy Birthday, RainRipple!
I wish you health and much happiness for the future!
Are you having a party with your friends today? Or are you spending your day at the Emera beach?
Whatever it is, I hope you have a very nice birthday!

Another day, another year. Every birthday is special to me, because each one marks one more year I never thought I'd have. Four years ago, I decided I would never have another birthday and tried to take my own life; turns out, God had other plans for me. It's been an interesting year this time around, but I'm grateful for every moment of it and for the amazing pillar of support that my wonderful best friend has been for me; she's been such a precious blessing through all of the highs and lows. I love you, Rals, and thank you for everything <3

Merry Christmas, PokeHeroes!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful day today, regardless of what/if you celebrate! <3

As for me, this is one of my absolute favorite holidays (alongside Easter), and I'm very grateful for my family and for the chance to be together with them as we are reminded of what Jesus did for us.

Cheers, everyone; have a happy holiday, break out the cabin socks, and make sure to enjoy some cookies and cocoa!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COFFEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Y'all, go send all the love and gifts and well-wishes you can muster to the wonderful coffeecup. She's such a wonderful friend (and an immensely talented writer) and I'm so beyond grateful to know her <3

So a ceiling tile fell during my first class today and then the room started to flood.

…Yep.

Oh!! I forgot this was coming up!
It’s been an amazing two years, and I’m so very glad to have met everyone. This is such a fun site, and God has used it in really great ways in my life. Without it, I never would have gotten to meet so many lovely people, including Ralsei, my wonderful, kind, goofy best friend! I will always deeply value all the new friends and opportunities to improve my writing that PokeHeroes has provided for me. Thank you, everyone, for an outstanding experience!
Here’s to another great year ahead!!

The sweetest family at my work just offered me a whole sub for dinner. I had to say no due to my diet, but it meant more than they can possibly know to me that they’d be so kind to a total stranger.
Be kind to your customer service workers. You don’t even have to feed them :P Just a couple kind words can completely make someone’s day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO Ralsei, THE BEST FRIEND I COULD EVER ASK FOR!
I'm so glad she's been brought into my life; she's such a blessing, and I'm beyond honored to know her. Make sure to send her all the love and birthday wishes you can manage!!

Confession: When I take vitamins and supplements, I totally wing it. I don't recall any specific ones that I'm supposed to take, I just know that my eating habits definitely leave my body in need of many of them, so every morning I take a look through our vitamin cabinet and select a couple that I know I do need. "Magnesium, yes, iron, yep, zinc, mhm. Huh, melatonin... I know I've heard of that one before. Might as well!"

On an unrelated note, for some reason, I never seem able to stay awake through the day.

My little brother just came over to me and said, “There’s a playground over there, but it’s kind of sad. There’s no safety hazards. It’s just kind of boring, you can’t hurt yourself.”

So if anyone on this site who knows me was wondering, I think my tendency towards recklessness and proclivity for injuring myself while attempting to do a flip is genetic.

Well, I learned a very valuable lesson today. When wearing a racerback shirt outdoors for eight hours, sunscreen is advisable. I have many regrets.

If anyone was wondering, which I'm most positive you were, it's very difficult to do the PH Safari Zone with acrylic nails! It's very difficult to do a lot of things, actually; I love them, but am seriously struggling.

You know you’ve graduated to a new level of crazy writer when you settle down to voluntarily read Immanuel Kant for three hours to help with the moral philosophy of a complex character you’re intending to start drafting for.

To the mad lad in the office who just Rickrolled my entire high school over the PA system:

Well played.

You’re never truly best friends with someone until you go through a car wash with them. Ralsei, now we can REALLY be friends.

Haha, not… not me visiting Ralsei’s profile every chance I get just to look at her avatar, nooooo…

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes!!! <3 I can't believe it came so quickly!

I honestly never thought I'd make it this far; three years ago, I was fighting depression, and around this time, I almost lost. I remember running away from my house one day, fully intending to never go back. For two and a half years beforehand, I'd wanted nothing more than to die, and was finally at a point where I was going to make that happen. For some reason, I impulsively started praying; I actually prayed for God to HELP me die. Every time I tried to stop talking, I couldn't, and I must have sat there for 10 minutes repeating that I was through with living. It was like God kept asking me if I was sure; by the end of that prayer, my words had turned from, "God, please let me die," to, "God, please, I don't want to die."

The fact that I've just cleared another year is quite literally a work of God. I'm so grateful that He saved me and to have met you all; Ilysm! Things DO get better. <3

Heyyyy, everyone, Rain here, reporting from 2:50 am. Just tripped, fell, and hit my head and knee on... I literally don't even know what; I didn't see the gigantic vacuum cleaner in the center of the room. This occurred whilst I was in a well-lit room, wearing a blanket, and carrying my cats' water bowl, so now I am soaked, sore, and sad.
