User blog:Jkphantom9/One Year Later: Did You Keep Moving Forward?

So, as many of you know, one year ago today, we lost one of the world's most brightest minds to have ever lived. The man who delivered unto us his creation that would bring together this community, otherwise, none of us would be here today appreciating what he did.

February 1st 2015 was a difficult day for many of us, but if there is one thing we learned from him, it's to never dwell on the past for too long, and to keep moving forward.

So here's to you, Monty. The legacy you left behind will continue to flourish for years to come.

As for me, 2015 was a year in which I grew more as a person. After I got expelled from the university I attended, I went on my own self-discovery journey. For so long, I was ashamed of some of the mistakes I made, but even so, I still heed Monty's motto, and I learned to move on and put those mistakes in the past.

Quoting Agent Carolina from Red vs Blue, "Your past doesn't define who you are. It just gives you the starting point for who you're going to be."

What about you guys? What did you do to keep moving forward?
