Huzzah! Horray! Woooot! WE DID IT!!!!!!!
Okay, so I also discovered the Shard through researching cosmere questions, but I didn't actually lurk at all, I joined right up! That was just this May, in the middle of quarantine.
I can't say how much the Shard has impacted my life. I'm a very socially minded person (With the Consul ESFJ personality) so suddenly being separated from school and from all my friends was a hard and sudden blow. The friends I made here sorta saved my mental state from going crazy I joined SE, made a Non-Adult club where the teens of the Shard hang out, and it's been sooo great. Horray! Huzzah! WOOOOOOT!!!!!
Cheers to a million more!
