Wow, I cannot believe I have been on this website ten years. It feels like I joined just yesterday! I remember the exact moment I signed up, sitting in my living room at 5pm, aged 14, looking for a Big Brother style game to play. I joined a Casting, looked at the HoF and aspired to be like Emmaleigh, then logged off and forgot about this website and died in my game!
Since that moment, I played games actively for around two years, wrote 7,000 blogs, had 2 shops, got 5th in Stars and made countless friends. I know I am not relevant now (and probably never was), but this website and the friendships I have made on it over the years are things I value deeply.
I have seen that others look upon their time spent here as a waste, however I do not and probably never will. This website provided a fun and invigorating haven for me at a time when I needed it and even though I am much less involved now, this website has continued to bring good into my life. I know there is toxicity here (as there is everywhere) and this website is nowhere near as active or fun as it used to be, but I still appreciate it, take the good from it and ignore the drama. It's not dead yet!
There are still amazing people here whom I cherish, such as:
and of course a special shoutout to Mittens, my OG TG bestie. We played so many games together and people viewed us as a platonic couple. We always commented on each other's blogs and played so many week long games together. We were quite the sweet but formidable duo and had so much in common. I hope one day she logs in and sees this!
I apologise if I've missed anyone out! Going through ten years of memories is a beautiful, but overwhelming experience.
If I've tagged you and we haven't spoken in a while, we should catch up! I know people drift apart, but if I've tagged you it's because you've been an important part of my Tengaged journey. I hope I have played some positive part in yours!
So...
***PYN and I will share my favourite memory that we've shared. If you have one, please share that too****
Have a fantastic weekend guys and thank you for making my decade here so special.
