Site Update
A community-focused user event brought to Aywas by Chianya (#12264) and a Slashbot.
Life might give you lemons, but Aywas gives you Love Lemons. <3
This event marks the end of our user event marathon for a little while, so enjoy this one!
"Sometimes we all need to be given a reason to love life, and once we have that reason, we start to see many other reasons that we hadn't noticed before. This event strives to make you love your life on Aywas a little more, in the hopes that it will drive you to realize other reasons to love your life that you may have overlooked in the past. So during this event, please take some time to remember those who have passed on, as well as those whom were taken away from the world against their will. Then please take some more time to reflect upon the reasons that you have to love your life, large or small." -- Chianya

Thanks for this day; I'm kind of worried about my life these days (mysterious health problems, lack of health insurance, low-paying job, etc.) and at least I can say I lived long enough to see this. ;P (I don't know why that's important to me, but it is.) Just wanted to say. Thanks.

Even though the ones so far have been awesome, this is probably my favorite user-hosted event so far. :3
Thanks for bringing us such a thoughtful event, Chianya.

Thank you so much, more than you can imagine. My life has been so painfully difficult as of late and to have a day dedicated to reaching to people like me who need a shoulder to cry on is so meaningful. ~Theron
