middle part for context

when i started branching out into other servers, it was sorta scary at first. i was nervous about talking to people i didn't know. i think my first server i joined was a nation role-playing server, and while it sounds kinda silly, everyone immediately made me feel welcome, despite the fact i had never role-played a nation before. i continued with that server for a couple years, and really immersed myself in the community, i really connected to these people and enjoyed talking to them. i joined the server it had come out of, which was a server about flag creation (wow im a nerd >~<), and while the rp evetually ended (R.I.P Ceran :pinkpi_flag:, Kyset, and Phyrexian Empire), i am still regularly interacting with people in the flag server and have made very very close friends. which i guess brings me to my final point.
