Us noobs in Europe are slowly getting older. So's 'murrica, but we don't seem to have a chance to meet between such borders just yet. Last year Jasper (Stijn) flew over to Norway like he's ventured to other countries. This year Beryl(Kiria) is flying. Flying for the first time alone, visiting Peridot (Taiyo), and still pondering about when that would be a nice trip to the Netherlands. After Beryl's flown once there'll be two others ( if we count Zircon (Darko) then three.) that we still don't know when they'll make their move, but remember to take your time.

There's been at least 5-ish years of being together by now as it is July. Math has never been my brightest spot, still. We have all been here for each other for quite a while. And wish to bring your attention to that fact.
We all have had our own personal troubles. I hope that by now you feel safe to share it with whomever you feel the safest with, it being a member in this crew or outside. I hope all of us have been treating each other with as much respect as possible and that by now we are trying to look past mistakes in each person.
Please be aware that if you feel unfit, then we will listen. If there are heavy burdens surrounding you, if we can't do anything as of then, we will still listen.

Feeling certain that I can even type this out makes me proud of everyone. You're all awesome. You're all my definition of a friend and I am close to always eager to set aside time just for you all. All I beg is that you stay awesome, stay proud, and fight for what you want. We're growing, adulthood is circling around us. Change is inevitable. We can still stay together if we want. We simply need to fight. Our personal problems? Fight. The worklife? Fight for more time.

I am also sorry for whenever my mood gets the best of me. Thank you all for still standing strong. I am proud of you all.

I know this is simple daydreaming, but as long as we are all still together there are still dreams of visiting countries together, all of us. Australia, Italy, Japan, and I know a few of us imagine the Sea Ziggys start come true by Jasper, Peridot and Beryl visiting Topaz. Of course Zircon is always invited.

Thanks for being you! I love you all and am proud of all of you. I believe you can all win your fights, and so long as you fight, so will I. Ciao!
