About Me
Goodbye. To whomever may read this, it's been nice knowing you all.
I've learned much from my experience here, and I truly believe that I have grown as a result. Out of the two and a half years of my life I've spent posting on the Minecraft Forums, I believe that the single greatest lesson I've received from them is not of the game that I used to love, but that of real life – of kindness, of humility, and of respect. I have discovered firsthand how haughty and rude people can be to others, and how dismissing people can be for others' hard work or personal opinions. Even as I write this now, I still find it difficult to admit these vices about myself.
I believe that without this time here, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Before signing off for the last time, I've read through every post that I've made in these years, and it was like looking into an ever-regressing mirror; I saw the mistakes I had made, the people I had hurt, and although I realize now that the decisions I've made has continued to shape me on a subconscious level, discovering it for myself was eye-opening. I watched as I transformed from a Minecraft-obsessed child full of ideas to a quarrelsome child picking fights on the Internet, and although I still think of myself as a child, I fully believe that I have the Minecraft Forum to thank for giving me this chance at maturity. Despite its share of bad experiences, this community has been a home for memories that I will cherish forever, and I feel that this is the first time I've had to properly thank them instead of taking them for granted.
Lastly, I sincerely hope that everyone I have hurt over the years will forgive me for my past actions.
Yours,
WaterTipper
