Back in 2004 I was a ball of misanthropic self-destructive/suicidal angst who had really no personality, mistrusted the world, and typed horribly. When I started going on BR, it gave me something to focus on, so I could start expressing and developing opinions on topics while trying to gain bps. When I started making friends on BR, I started becoming an obsessive computer-using shut-in who spent hours posting, hours coding layouts, hours sucking on photoshop, and all the hours away from the computer was spent talking to my school friends about how the internet > them. But then I guess over the years, BR helped me develop into myself, become more confident and more comfortable, because it helped me realize what I thought about certain things, and when I spent some time away from the computer, I started caring more about the people I knew outside of the internet.
I just don't think I'd be the same without having spent those years here.
