User blog:TDI19/Thoughts

I was just thinking about this place today.... How it has been almost three years since my time here. How so much has gone on here since then. So much has changed...new faces have arrived, old faces have moved on. All of these changes have been kind of sad for me. I haven't gone too in depth in the wiki, but I am relatively sure that so many of the friends I met here have left...their accounts sit idle and inactive. People move on, I know...but it is still really sad that all the things from my "era" on the TDI Wikis are kind of gone. But such is life...things change. I am sure that this wiki is amazing for all of the new users. I hope you all enjoy it. As I thought about the past, I realized that even though the changes and the loss of so many users are all very sad...that each one of them lives on in a special piece in our memories and in this wiki. Every single user has added their own little piece of thread to the giant quilt that this wiki has become. We all formed this to be what it is today. And that makes me smile... We set up a place for future tweens and teens to come and escape reality for a little. To have some fun. To be creative. To use their imagination. To not be judged for wanting to be a kid--to enjoy what they like and not worry about what others think of it. And I am so proud of that. This community will continue to grow and morph in the future, but I am so glad to know that it still thrives...3 years later...This wiki allows the awesomeness of Total Drama Island to continue on. It's a little Wawanakwa Island in the sea of Wikia, the Internet, and the World...but it's our island. And that's all that matters. --TDI19
