Howdy! As you'll be able to see from my profile, I'm not technically "new". However it's been a long time since I've even logged back in to EC. I was active for a very short period of time between late 2014 to early 2015. I guess in that short span of time, I was able to find the community and friendship that I was looking for, as I'm currently planning to fly over an ocean this summer to visit my bestest friend (who I met on here) irl for the first time, and I have EC to thank for that*. I don't know if back because I want to be active again and I want to help provide that same sort of comfort that I got from EC, or if I'm merely trying to relive something that I moved on from a long time ago. But I think it's worth giving it a try, because this place has given so much, and has gotten so little in return. So with that being said, I hope you'll all welcome me back into the fold once more. *By no means am I suggesting that you should just travel all over the place willy-nilly to say hi to your newfound EC buddies that you just met online last week. EC has certain rules in place for a reason, which is to protect you. I've had several years worth of time to figure out that my bud isn't an axe wielding sexual predator.
