There are some things that I'm pretty thankful for.
I am thankful to live in the country of Canada. I know it sounds silly and I have some issues if I'm being brutally honest. However, to have lived most of my life in this country and being presented with opportunities is something that I should be thankful for.
This is a silly point
(actually, you can skip this point if you like), but I am thankful to have spotted the unique cars out on the roads that have appeared in video games. Seeing them virtually is one thing, but to see one in person? It's absolutely awesome seeing different types such as station wagons, hatchbacks, grocery getters, or sports cars. There were quite a few that I never thought I'd be able to see in real life. The
Suzuki Cappuccino is easily the best car I've spotted this year due to the fact that it's only sold in Japan and was very likely imported here to Canada. If it ain't obvious, I like cars a lot.
But regardless, I am thankful to have experienced them and appreciate the details by just looking, even if only for a moment when they quickly pass through the street lol.
I'm thankful to have loving parents, especially my mother. She's done a lot of stuff to look after my sister and me even though she feels tired at times. While my mother doesn't ask for anything in return, I want to pay back for the kindness she has given to the two of us someday.
I'm thankful to have a sister who loves me a lot. She's so silly and likes to draw stuff! Sure, we may get into disagreements at times, but it will never change the fact that I'm a loving brother to her. Actually, she's the sole reason why I got into Animal Crossing in the first place. In fact, the series was also responsible for getting me into drawing years ago.
And also explains why I mainly draw animals and have a similar art style to Animal Crossing oops. Had my sister not asked for New Leaf back in 2015, I don't think I'd have a level of interest in it at all, nor would I eventually find myself here on TBT a few years later in 2018.
Speaking of which, I am very thankful for the existence of TBT and the community surrounding it. Yes, things got pretty feisty when New Horizons was released back in March 2020. Aside from that, I very much appreciate the friendly environment that this forum has when talking with other members on here, whether it's anything related to Animal Crossing, various topics over at the Brewster's Cafe section, art stuff, or posting in silly threads over at the Basement section. Oh, and the events that the staff created! I don't know how you guys do it with all the massive effort put into them but know that all of us on here are thankful for what you all do. You didn't have to create the events, but you still did it anyway to make memorable experiences for everyone who participated.
Does anybody remember egg #6? Heck, I'm still rocking Blue and Poliwag in my profile picture where I participated in 2021 TBTWC and Camp TBT respectively even after all these times. I am also very thankful for being great friends with
@Midoriya,
@Roxxy, and
@xSuperMario64x on the forums. The drawing I made in my signature reflects that where it features the animal villagers we created representing ourselves during the celebrating diversity event earlier this year. The four of us are just simply having good times together.
It wouldn't be far-fetched to say that they have left a positive impact on my life in some way and perhaps even helped me grow as a person.
Riley (Midoriya), you became my friend literally weeks after I joined TBT back in 2018. You leave positive vibes and are also a great friend who listened to me when I needed to talk to you. At the same time, your words of honesty and sincerity helped me reflect on myself as a person. It's one of the important traits that a great friend should have listening to others not just during times of trouble, but during times of happiness as well. I cherish the times when we met up in Smash Bros. Ultimate to duke it out in battle and hang out on your island in New Horizons just chilling and drinking coffee at Brewster's. Continuously hearing about your progress in life makes me happy, Riley.
Roxxy, you became my friend sometime during TBTWC 2021 and I still think about that event from time to time. I always feel like you're a gentle person around here and getting along every time we spoke to each other. It melts my heart with happiness to hear that you're growing stronger thanks to your loving son, and I still very much appreciate that he loved the drawing I made of Kylie & Kodie. I hope that your dream of becoming a pilot someday is still going strong within you. Prove the naysayers wrong that you're capable of achieving it, Captain Roxxy.
Bug (xSuperMario64x), what can I say? Making that car livery of the Volkswagen Beetle Gr.3 that took me
months to do was really something else
along with me being a huge car enthusiast or what you call me a car nut lol. It produced things that I didn't expect it to make. A strengthened friendship with you is one of them. With a lot of struggles that are happening in your life, I want to make sure that you are safe around me as a great friend of yours. Plus, it's legendary how we can sometimes come up with hilarious messages over at Discord lol. It's always awesome to hear about your interests in foxes (
especially silver foxes) and plushies, Bug!
The last thing that I am ultimately thankful for is being alive and well to wake up each day in the first place. To exist in this world allows me to experience and appreciate the things in life, especially the little things and many others that we take for granted.
I always type so much stuff lol. Thanks, staff for letting us share the things we're thankful for!
