Aye, it's Adi, back with another blog! Now, I really have to thank two people that I met on AFF. Don't get me wrong, I have many friends on here and I love you all so much! There are people who have helped me since the beginning of my existence on AFF, and I'm so proud I'm still friends with them. They're truly just amazing, and I can't be more grateful and thankful for having such wonderful people by my side. But, there are these two people that, although I only got to know them midway through 2018, have helped me through a lot! They started off as normal friends, but after loads of messages and chatting, we've built a bond no one can break. Emma (moonflakes) and Alexis (TaekenByJungoo), this is for you:

I'm so glad I met you two. I have seen tons of people on AFF who have a family of parents, siblings and so on, even if it's just online. Not gonna lie, I've wanted that bond, but I've never asked for it or seemed too desperate about it because I was happy with my friends. Then, you two came along and began chatting and the next thing I know, we're in a 'PARENTING 101' group-chat, laughing and chatting and messing around. To my beautiful and wonderful Mama and Mommy, thank you for everything.

I'm in a really good mood today, and I just wanted to make this short blog to take a moment to thank you both. You guys have no idea how much I appreciate your presence and help; you've helped me more than you can realize. I mean, there are so many people who have helped me without even knowing. Some of you have helped me even by sharing your experiences; I've learned to grow from you all. This includes so many people, and although I can't keep in touch with you all, I hope you all are happy and safe. I miss some of my friends, I used to talk to some of my friends all the time, and they just happened to disappear and it saddens me that I couldn't be there. Many troubles have come and gone, I've lost friends, and I've lost contact with friends, but some of you gained great amounts of happiness, and I'm really happy for you all. But, no matter what happened, Mommy and Mama always stuck by my side. And many other people, too. So, I'm genuinely thankful and grateful for everyone I've ever talked to. Whether you're reading this or not, whether you're Emma or Alexis or not, I love you.

But, Mama and Mommy have really been like parents to me - sometimes I guess I have to parent you two, but eh - and I am so happy I'm friends with you guys. Things have happened, we became distant, but I told you two that our bond is strong and it won't break apart. And, as you can see, we've escaped from the difficult times and now we're a happy family. Although Mama doesn't come online much, Mommy is always there for me. And with Mama's sweet video-messages and Mommy's awesome stories and picture-attacks (that's a story for another time), I feel like a child in a perfect family.

Therefore, I'd like to dedicate this blog to you both, and if you're reading this as just another lovely friend, I love you guys too. Anyways, as a token of gratitude and thanks, I wrote a little poem for you guys:

The Leaves Of A Tree

As I wake up every morning,

I look out my window.

The sun shines bright as usual,

and beside me is my lonely shadow.

Although my heart breaks at the thought of loneliness,

I never let out a cry or whine,

for I know that I have people beside me,

be it in real-life or online.

My parents are sometimes too busy,

and my brother is miles away.

But here on this wonderful site,

every day is a special day.

When I can't keep up with my parents,

I have two leaves to hold on here.

When I can't keep up with my friends,

I have a bunch of leaves to hold on here.

The leaves of a tree are not just leaves.

In my eyes, they represent bonds.

Strong bonds, weak bonds, roots of a connection.

Family, love, friendship, and all sorts.

Who knows when the leaves might fall?

Who knows when a strong wind may appear?

Who knows how long the tree will last?

Who knows when we build up a fear?

All I know is of my genuine love for you all,

to me, even the smallest leaf matters.

All my friends that hold us together,

let's step forward and not let any hearts shatter.

To all my friends and all my family,

thank you for taking care of me.

I wouldn't be who I am if it weren't for you,

my heart now beats with ecstasy.

To conclude, I really love you all so much. I'm so thankful for all the memories we shared - good and bad - because there was experience and helpful lessons. Thank you all so much, I love you. ^-^
