46. I like that I never know the names of songs, bands, etc... But give me enough time with a piano/keyboard, I can figure out how to play the tune.
47. I like that I can take apart dinosaur PC's and put them back together (which I used to do in middle school)
48. I like that I pick my battles wisely.
49. I like my mind... As interrupted, tormenting, and toxic as it can be.
50. I like being the daughter of my mother... It's a beautiful compliment when others say I am like her, even if I don't always agree.
There... Fifty things!
From first making this thread, my intention was ultimately say good-bye to ALL once I reached my 50th... I am keeping that promise to myself. I need this place, perhaps more than ever. But I think the time has come where I need to not need it anymore.
For those of you who have read this thread... I know I won't be around to threaten you to do this challenge with my stick -- but I sincerely hope you do, someday. All I ask is that you at least start, in some way. It doesn't have be in this thread. Not for me, or anyone else, but yourself. Love yourselves. As I have come to learn, there will be times where that is the only thing you've got to fall back on...
In all my accounts here, I never have once made a thread to announce me leaving (at least, not that I remember!). So, instead of making a thread, I will just announce it here. I've met a handful of people with incredible hearts, here. People that are talented, beautiful, kind -- from the inside out. Some of you... A little weird, strange, misunderstood. But you showed me that it's OK to march to a beat of your own. Many of you have taught me several valuable lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. And seldom those who have reached out while at my lowest -- times where I wasn't so sure if there was going to be a "tomorrow". There are also those have known me from the very beginning (a little over or about two years ago, when I joined). Words will never will never give justice to how thankful I am to have crossed paths with every one of you. Then, there are a couple of those who have touched my life... In ways that they will never imagine possible. You know who you are, and I will keep you in my heart forever.
I wish only but the best for everyone here. Good luck and be good to yourselves.
