it feels weird to talk about wicked wonderland when we've just moved onto the next chapter... but actually the beginning days of ww were super beneficial to me as far as drawing me into this community and nurturing my love and desire to code and design. i don't remember any specific people, but i do remember how encouraging everyone was (and still is!) and i can honestly say that it's played such a huge role in my presence today

also there was this one time i posted something really heavy because i needed advice and i vividly remember valka telling me literally exactly what i needed to hear (and i believe it was just when we'd started talking a bit). actually i go to val for advice a lot these days L O L /sweats

lastly though, these last few hours of the opening of this site have been so nice. there are really so many great people in this community that deserve to be recognized
