Wow... thank you, genuinegirly. That's the nicest thing anyone's said to me around here in a while.
I guess I never considered myself to have changed roles in that manner, though I do get an awful lot of PM's these days about all manner of topics, which certainly didn't happen 3 years ago... so something has changed, in that sense.
Don't get me wrong, those first 1-2 years here were extremely important for my personal growth... I'd never underestimate that. But yeah, I have felt a shift lately... I chalk it up to becoming far too easily annoyed/cynical at people on the internet when I should be working on my research, lol. I also think that not being in a long-distance relationship with ktspktsp for the last year has decreased my "need" for community on TFP... I miss it, but I'm not trying to use it to fill a lack in my life, as I was doing at first.
So yes, I have evolved (more in the past) as a result of being part of this community, that's unquestionable. I just want to keep evolving, and I don't know if this is the place for it, right now... we'll see.
