Me too. I haven't been active for a few months honestly. I don't talk to many people on here though, it's just you and someone else but I still like to drop by and see how you guys have been so I'm trying to be a bit more active every now and then. I'm glad to hear you're back though! I'm sure many people have missed your wonderful company

For the sake of agreeing, I'll agree to that!

You're very welcome! It's only the truth

Precisely! After everything that's happened last year, people deserve every kind of happiness that comes their way!

Thank you too! You're truly to kind

I'm doing better, thank you for asking! These past few months have been like a tornado. A lot of ups and downs. What kept me going honestly was all the kind words I received from the kids I taught these last few months. They all gave me these cute cards to thank me and it was honestly so heartwarming so I'm thankful to have gotten to work with them.

What about you, Ray? How have you been? Has anything new or exciting happened?

That's great that you're trying to be more active, although obviously there's no pressure for you to come online since of course you're busy! We appreciate you being in this community no matter how often you're able to come online ^-^

Yay! I'm glad we can agree on something xD

They totally do!! There's always the hope that the world will come out of this pandemic as a more united place and that we'll be closer to achieving equality for everybody, and better at learning about each other (and learning about ourselves too of course!). We can hope

I'm really happy to hear you're doing better! It's not nice when life is full of ups and downs, especially when the downs seem even lower after you've experienced a high point. But ohmygoodness that's adorable!!! They sure are lucky to have you just as you're lucky to have them ^-^ kids seem to have the ability to be kind so unapologetically, like, without holding back, without worrying---

---about what other people may think, and I think so many people lose that ability as they get older. I think we could all learn a lot from young kids!

I've been okay, thank you for asking! Same as you - it's been a little up and down for the last few weeks but today I truly believe I reached a turning point in my life - hopefully it'll be up from now on I've been working on a dissertation for university and playing lots of guitar so that's been great! I'm also feeling very hopeful for 2021, in that we can finally bid farewell to covid (at least mostly, anyway!)

Awe, thank you Ray! I hope you also know how appreciated you are!

Me too. Its nice to agree on this :3

I agree! I think the world has become a little more united from everything that has happened. I just hope that we will all continue to grow as people, and as a community and that we will continue to spread kindness throught it all.

Ikr. Its hard when you reach that low point of your life, what's even harder is when it feels like there's no light at the end of the tunnel or when you think it's finally over then another problem hits you. Life throws you so many unexpected challenges but no one really ever deserves to go through hard times like that

Exactly! Kids are just so amazing honestly. Growing up with so many siblings I've noticed how smart a lot of little kids are, like my brother is going to be 2 soon but he's really smart and they understand more than we give them credit for. Its amazing how little kids are just so free, they have nothing to worry about.

In a way I envy how free they can be. Being a grown-up seems tiring, I'm not even that old yet but I feel really old haha

Honestly you're right though. Doing what I've done, kids teach you so much. They're so earnest and honest with each other, we can learn a whole lot from them.

Awe, that's not good. I'm glad you're doing better though! I hope you remember that if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you

University must be hard! I'm in college and I guess it depends on what you study but I have 12 exams so I can't imagine how much work you guys get.

Oo, you must be good at guitar! What's your favourite thing to play on it?

I'm also confident for 2021! I think it'll be better than 2020 and I hope that great things happen for everyone this year!

Yesss, I hope we can all continue to grow as human beings too and that we make some proper progress with, well, everything. The endless social issues and inequalities that need to be fixed, and I truly hope we start treating the planet better too and realising how lucky we are to be alive. I hope we never look back, I hope we no longer take so many things for granted-

-yeah, basically I hope we all become better people because of this horrible pandemic xD

It's definitely so difficult when you can't see a light at the end of a tunnel for a certain situation, and that's why it's so important to hold onto hope. Hope is such a powerful and beautiful thing for anyone who's going through hard times

Kids ARE so amazing, yes I totally agree! The world would be a wonderful place if it were run by kids (ok they might need a little help with running the world, but hey, I'm sure they'd get there xD)

I think being an adult is tiring in a lot of ways but it's also wonderful in a lot of ways too--
