It's been one year since I showed up here, bedraggled and footsore, and started a new life. A lot has changed since then.
Everyone from my world who was here then have left, and another has come, and I've met and made a lot of friends, even very close friends, here, something I never really had time for before. I have a house that I am building slowly with hands and magic, and a business that I own that is slowly growing.
And I feel a sense a peace, here, which I never did back home.
So, here's to Madison, home of the life I have built, and the life I have chosen. Thank you all for welcoming me here.
