Your life without khv

BRB, making sucky Fang x Link fanart.

 

KHV has been a pretty huge part of my life, without it I wouldn't have many of the interests I have now or even have much of the same personality... Nerdy as it may be to admit it I think it's made a pretty massive impact on me, lol.

 

I would probably be even more depressed than I was. I would also probably be on anti-depressants by now.

 

In accordance with the prophecy, it's pretty safe to say that I may have comitted suicide back when I was still a stupid sixth grader or actually any time since then lol. I never would have watched anime or turned bi or become the awkward kid who stays on the internet. Haha, KHV was the very first site I ever joined. xD And of course I never would have met all the absolutely lovely people here who've helped me through more than y'all know. ​

 

Two words easily sum up my life if KHV hadn't been in it.

Radically different.

EDIT because Makaze insulted me by calling me a cop-out and the Calvin Coolidge of KHV except for when I'm not. *******:

When I first came to KHV, I had become a little bored with the other, very dead forum I had been on, Zelda-Infinite. I remember that the site looked very different from how it does now, and I remember the Premium names were rainbow - you guys really need that back, by the way. I'd only stayed for a few weeks, just I like I thought I would, and then I re-situated myself back on ZI.

Exactly one year later, January 1, 2011, I came back and reintroduced myself, and thus it began. KHV and its members have helped me grow in more ways than one, has given me so many things, has provided me with a family that I always wished I had. I came here, not expecting that at all, but that's how it became, and I don't regret it. In my world, where I'm an outcast, KHV is a sanctuary, where I can be myself with people who'll accept me no matter what.

I love you guys, and I'm glad KHV's in my life.​

 

I would have probably gone to another forum. But to be honest, I've been on a lot of forums, and they all bore me to death. KHV is the only forum I've really stuck to.
I've made some great friends here that have actually taught me a lot. I've seen a lot of people come and and go.
KHV has just provided a lot of humor, entertainment and interest in my life.
And like GS, it kinda shows that it has had an impact on my life since I never really think about leaving.
I just hope that some day I'll get to meet most of my KHV Friends in real life.

 

Hm. Life without KHV. My eyesight would probably be better. My marks in school would probably be higher as well.

 

That should be my life since October 2010 without KHV. Seriously. =(

 

It says you joined in November.

 

Because I suddenly feel like not giving a lame answer:
I know for a fact that my ideologies and understandings would not be at all the same. I have a strong belief in the importance of making mistakes, of learning from them, of growing from them. Not letting every little setback or mess up pull you down and make you quit. I believe that was one of the major lessons I learned, mostly from being on staff.

I would not have the amazing close friends that I do now if it wasn't for KHV, and given my friend situation in my life, that's a big deal. People to lean on, for one thing, and my overall expectations of people. I had a very negative view of people and the world before joining, and seeing (and feeling) the love and support of those I've met has teared that down, which I am so thankful for.

Emotion wise... I can't even begin to consider.

 

It's a pleasure to be your friend, Misty! :smile:

 

I have not met anyone from KHV in all actuality. However, I have met some interesting people who would otherwise remain strangers. I've been here off and on since 2006. I don't know why I keep coming back. Maybe it's some sense of nostalgia. Maybe I miss the people I once knew.

I think without this forum, it's hard to say how I'd be today.

 

This all of it including rainbow names.

 

I'd be a different person. Probably an even more lethargic and useless person, if that's possible. Not only is this place home to a fairly friendly and close community, it is one of the most stable online communities I've ever had to deal with. It serves as something of a trail blaze, telling me where I am in relation to where I've been and letting me see myself from another perspective. While I do only spend about 5 months out of a given year here, I always come back because I miss the three or so people that remember me and welcome me back every time, even if I don't post a lot or actively reach out to anyone. Even after I ran into some real life problems that led to my decision to quit staff and leave the site, I came back. I never expected me to gush so much about you fuckers.

 

Very, very different. I wouldn't have met some of the most influential people in my life or my best friends, like Advent, Rayku, and Xaale. At this point it's hard for me to imagine not being able to hang out in the city with them like we do now. Plus Fayt and I likely wouldn't have met and I really don't like to think about that, without him I probably wouldn't be around anymore.
I've met so many friends here over the years and it's weird to think I've lurked here for six or seven years and yet am still here. And amazingly enough a fair number of people that joined in the early days are still around.

I mean as crazy as the community here can be sometimes, I've always found that of all the forums I've been to it's one of the closer-knit ones. The kind of thing where there's a lot of members, but many names I recognize. I think that's one of the reasons I've stuck around here.

 

I wouldn't know the epic people I do now... and all the unawesome people >:D I kid.

I would probably just find something less productive to occupy my time with, I would say "I would get so much more work done"... but I know it wouldn't actually make a difference.

 

I would probably be in hospital,where I was threatened to be sent if my mental state didn't improve.
But it improved.
Apparently.

But really,all you beautiful people seem to have a knack of making me laugh,and smile and dance and cry and all those other lovely and not so lovely emotions,that remind me of just why I should stay alive,at least for a little bit.
And I would not have met one of my best friends,or been able to radically expand my stalking list.
It is real.
It is lovely.
There is a moose on the front.

Much love to all of you dears and darlings,sweethearts and sweetiepies. <3

 

Without KHV?
My depression might have spiraled out of control into 'Very Not Good'. I wouldn't have a wonderful moirail who I can tell everything to. I wouldn't be a writer or an artist without the confidence you guys give me. I wouldn't have people I can gush to about all my favorite fandoms and pairings. I wouldn't have all the friends who helped me to stop being so damn shy irl, to grow up a little bit. Just a little bit. c:

I've just realized, I've missed my Five Year Anniversary here on KHV, last month.
So I've wasted five years of my life here.
And I wouldn't have it any other way. c':

 

I'm emotional right now, alright?!

I'll edit my post then.

 

Yes, good job. I honestly couldn't understand it before; you had a lot of 'not's in there.
