today, i turn twenty. finally, a '2' in front of my age, no longer a '1'. these past 20 years have been an amazing rollercoaster of a ride, and it could not have been possible without many of these people:
1) my parents and family - they were the one who gave me life, and brought me up as a person i am, providing me with the comfortable life i have right now. though i bitch a lot about them and complain a lot, but deep down, i know that i owe my life, literally, to them. my sister has been a great pillar of support when my parents were not there (which was rather often, as they were business people).
2) my friends, both IRL and on TL - from my elementary school friends to high school friends, outside friends, and even TL friends, i want to thank every single one of you. you have shaped me to be what i am today, to be a confident, outgoing person i am today. i can't imagine myself being this even a couple of years ago. my friends have always been there for me, regardless of ups or downs, and my friends from TL have given me unlimited amount of compassion, support, understanding, concern, joy and laughter, especially those who've helped me out last year when i went to korea, namely Lilsusie, midian, ilovestarcraft, mrhoon, artosis, idra and others. thank you everyone so much. <3
3) you, Teamliquidians - the idea of being contributing this much on a public forum where you are not rewarded with money or other real-life essential necessities is, to many, unimaginable. many times when i speak about how i love hanging around in this community, people ask me the same question - Why? it is just something about this community that i feel bonded and united, like a sense of brotherhood. a global community comprising of people of the same interests, built on trust and belief in each other, there is no other community, offline or online, that is like Teamliquid. Time and time again, there are stories of how TeamLiquidians help each other out in ways unthinkable, both online and IRL. this community makes me feel whole, and as such, i want to thank everyone single one of you.
4) my girlfriend - this person has been amazing. the pillar of support, my source of courage and happiness, she has been everything to me. though i highly doubt she will see this, i want to thank her from the deepest bottomest of my heart.
as i grow one year older, i feel myself turning more mature. i feel myself more committed to life, not just of myself, but of others as well. seeing joy in others brings me joy as well. and i hope to continue this in the future. thanks everyone for reading this, have a great day ahead.
