I've been going through my old blogs recently and I'm remembering just how big of a role Tengaged played during earlier years in my life. This site introduced me to a whole universe of "social", albiet online, interactions that I hadn't encountered before. I was able to learn more about the world, it's various people, and I came across many ideas and topics that I didn't previously know existed.
Tengaged also helped me deal with my adolescent years as I was still figuring out who I was and what I wanted to do (not that I fully know now either haha). The site brings back many memories - both positive and negative. I remember how obsessed I was with excelling in games, how every apple or key had to be snatched in castings, how double or triple posts were the norm, and how stars wins were the ultimate success.
It makes me very nostalgic to come back to this site. Tengaged will always have a special place in my heart. I believe that because of Tengaged I learned that not everyone will like you even if you try to be the nicest person. There will always be people who dislike you no matter what and that's fine. You can't please everyone. I also found out that there were other people out in the world who were experiencing similar things as I was and that gave me comfort through many tough times - as tough as times can get for a teenager, I guess. This was honestly the biggest benefit of Tengaged for me: the fact that I was able to be completely open and honest about who I was and how I felt. It was very supporting to know that there were others in the world like myself because I didn't really have anyone in my life at that point who was experiencing anything similar.
I'm thankful for the ways this site helped me become the person that I am today and I hope that Tengaged continues to help young people everywhere.
You literally just stole the words out of my mouth. I've been gone for over two years(lost count exactly how long ive been inactive) and I decided to log back in last week and I've been feeling so nostalgic. Tengaged will always hold a special place in my heart, I know it's just an online gaming site but all the people I've met here have actually had an impact in how I am as I've learned a lot from people here...i know it sounds cheesy zeenon
