why does catsite matter to you

y'all are so drunk while I'm not even drinking anything hurhur
my computer's kinda laggy as i write this so there are typos, does that count?

catsite's my first introduction to meeting and making Internet friends. i never really thought you could care about someone you've never met irl but i did and its really such a nicer experience than i thought

also i interacted with people yay

and my writing got btter. like now i can write characters who aren't flat. yay

anywho im just gonna be sitting here not drinking :3

[fancypost borderwidth=0px;][sub]i'm just now seeing this thread and it's so cutee omg ;u;
okay catsite matters to be bc,,

- it really helped me with my writing. i used to, like most people, be horrible at writing. wcrpg/ff really changed that. it gave me a reason to write, and in such a fun way, too. when i got tired of writing on my usual google document, i resorted to here. it's helped me break past my block so well.
- writing here is so much fun. i thought it was fun when i wrote in that document for hours, doing nothing but spewing words and,, compared to wcrpg, this is so much more exciting for me. i love roleplaying a lot, and i used to be shameful of it, and now it's like?? hell yeah i love roleplaying :0
- i made friends. it was really reassuring to have people i could talk to and actively plot with, and now i've made even more. after my hiatus, i was,, kinda lonely, to say the least; though, after joining a chat and a rp plot, i found myself talking to a lot more people, and it was really relieving tbh
- it's a great distraction. not in the sense that i'll go roleplay for hours on end and forget about my homework, but in the sense that i forget about my troubles and stresses, even if just temporarily. course, it's not always a 100% guarantee to be lifted of whatever worries you have, but it helped. a lot.
- i think my condition would be a lot worse without catsite. i'd probably be a lot sadder without it, since this is my one resort from,, life in general, i guess. even if i don't really realize it, this site makes me v happy and i'm super glad to have stumbled upon it a few years ago.

w ow this is some stupid sappy stuff here i,, yeah

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 450px;][justify]Catsite is life.
- I'm still close friends with people I met in 2012, extremely early in my newbie days.
- Writing on here has improved my descriptive skills so much that it has taken a large effect on my English grades over the years.
- I can allow my imagination to flow through plot ideas and not bottled up, never to be used unless there's an English assignment coming up.
- I've become more and more inspired to continue developing my art and English skills.
- I always wake up excited to check what updates there are in my updated threads.
- This has been the only place where I feel comfortable expressing myself, such as my romantic orientation, etc.
- oh my gosh i love you all so much pls can i give u all a bear hug

[fancypost bgcolor=#; border: 0px; width: 500px; text-align: justify; font-size:9pt]I'll try to explain this as best as I can

So, catsite has never really been a big part of my life. I've made a couple friends on here, but they've never been half as big to me as irl. It's more of a fun past time, you know? I'm just here to roleplay cats that can speak the English language and be anonymous as I do so. Bc everyone would think I was a LARPer or whatever if I told them xD

I've gotten rly good at writing on this site, though. I was able to get straight As on all of these writing pieces for English thanks to catsite. I can't tell you how many words I've learned for the color white on this site, like omg.

Also, I love getting to talk to other Warriors fans bc, even though this site isn't that focused on it any more, I've never really stopped liking those cheesy animations on YouTube from 2012. I love you nerds <3

_{Catsite is my release. I can come on here and I can forget shitty things that happened in the day, and whether that's good or bad, it's a haven.
I rekindled my love for Warriors and roleplaying on here;; I made friends, I began to make art, I welcomed my sexuality and gender identity and I met my boyfriend. Catsite helped me with the death of my grandmother, and although I've been frustrated with how things have happened sometimes, I've always loved coming on here and talking to people with similar views and interests to my own. I love you all, even if I haven't talked to you directly, I've likely seen you around and I love seeing how diverse we all are. <3}

[fancypost borderwidth=0px; line-height: 14px; width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt; color:#;]Without catsite I wouldn't have met Swiftsong who is my closest online friend to date!! She lives 24 hours away from me and her friendship means the world to me. This place is the one place where I can express myself however I want without being judged (-:

ahhh okay even though i'm sorta slipping out of catsite again i still love it to bits!!! it introduced me to my newfound love of english, it used to be my least favorite subject but now it's my fav <3 my writing was good enough to be entered into this special contest and honestly i owe it all to this site for sucking me in

and like i met so many friends here!! we've sort of drifted apart but all of them are still great and honestly i looked forward to coming home from school because i could actually talk to people i knew and liked better than the ones at my school (like our chef chat and tinychats? super rad!!!)

and then of course this place helped me figure out my sexuality which was A+++, i'm not sure if i'd even be out of the closet right now if not for this silly site about cats. hell i might not even have known i was gay

so yeah! and being on staff for the few months i was showed me how hard you guys all work to keep this running, and i think that's when it really clicked how great and important this site was to a lot of people

you guys are awesome <3

i don't know what's been going on with upper staff lately. i'm a CA, not a mod, and it doesn't seem to be affecting my level of the staff chain. i just know that some things that shouldn't have happened, have happened, and it's crappy for everyone involved. i'm still going to be here on this site i know and love, even thoguh i'm sad to see all the others i know and love leave.

-catsite literally made me who i am (meme machine, half-okayish writer, and more accepting of others)

-i was/am being raised in a very conservative Christian family, and if i'd never joined this site i'd still be a homophobic sexist with a fear of all things unfamiliar. still a beleiver, of course, just a lor more accepting and loving. just as it should be

-this site gave me friends when i had none

-this site showed me i can be as solitary and anxious and a ball of out-of-control nerves for all practical purposes and still find others who like you

-catsite got me super-psyched for character development and now i subject my rl acquaintances to very excited hour-long discussions on it if they dare mention it

-i was introduced to steven universe, gravity falls, supernatural, and so much more because of this site. imagine all the lovely shows i never would have found without you guys!

-i love everyone here, and because of everyone here, i love myself too. well, maybe not as much as i could, but i'm improving, and i know it'll only get better from here <3

I love this site because:
- yes, yes. My English improved so much. I got an award just before I joined the site, but more writing is so much better now. My character development especially.
- characters. Now I walk around and when I get stressed out or my OCD is playing up, I just pretend to be one of my characters and that solves the problem.
- It's also helped me with my drawing, as I get to do it more, and give me a direction and a drive for it.
