In fact, my experiences on Animal Jam and with this blog have affected my life outside of Animal Jam in ways that I can hardly even describe, and about a month ago, I realized that writing about my experiences had become a favorite hobby of mine. Over the past couple of months, I have often found myself writing on whatever piece of loose leaf paper I can find about whatever happens to be on my mind at that moment, and writing these passages has certainly been a relaxing muse for me.
Furthermore, some of the experiences that I have had in real life lately have reminded me a lot of some of my experiences on Animal Jam. Near the end of my experiences in Jamaa, several of my Animal Jam friends and I worked together to establish exciting games for the Gggal Company (a mock business that we created and was named after my friend gggal). Two years later, I am in the process of establishing cool workshops for an Aerospace Engineering festival for elementary school students in our area (I am really looking forward to it!). I was also the deputy of Dragon Clan, a group on Animal Jam that a few friends that I know in real life and I led together; I am now the president of the Aerospace club at my school. Not only that, but the compliments on my writing that I have received from people that I know in real life are comparable to the support that you guys have been giving for this blog all of these years.
Last but certainly not least, I met so many awesome people on Animal Jam who supported me greatly during my time on there, and I now have several equally awesome friends in real life. Both groups of friends are, in many ways, my family, and I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am that they are a part of my life. <3
A couple of weeks ago, I learned that two of my younger cousins now play Animal Jam (this is a part of where my motivation for writing this post came from). I logged on there for a few minutes to hang out with them for a bit, and I became so nostalgic for the days during which I was active on AJ as I looked around at the multitude of updates on the site and as I told my cousins about some of my experiences on AJ. It really is amazing that so many things can happen in just a few months.
Long story short, I have noticed that the personality that I developed through my experiences with blogging and AJ has gradually blended with how I act and perceive things in real life, and both these personality changes and my growth in maturity have had an extremely positive effect on my life.
Thank you again for your endless support, and I hope you all have a jam-tastic day and holiday season!
