<3 You are the sweetest! I just got back to Subeta a few days ago and found all the things you've been sending me over the months. I'm so very lucky to have you as a friend!! Thank you for thinking of me!!!

Come back after errands and finish this list!!

I don't have many friends here at all, but you are my rock and so much more. Your presence and support and irreplaceable. You are an ah-mazing beings, and i hope all your dreams come true and i get to see them all.

I noticed a few days ago a user who seems to be struggling for a while and tho we never talked i couldnt stop thinking of it. I know it doesn't mean as much as real life help, but i hope this makes her holidays just a little brighter.

Also i want to say how amazing this whole community and site is, seriously all of Subeta. This place has literally been my only savior through some real dark times just by existing. Thanks for being you Subeta (including the every-holiday-lag :P)

OMG, i'll cry. you know i feel the same <3 love ya!

I don't really have friends on here either, but most my interactions with other users have been nice. i'm grateful for this site because it is filled with really nice people.

thank you for emptying your pockets for my goodies ;) I hope you have the best holidays!

you're a very nice person for doing this. i don't remember ever talking to you, but surely the winner[s] will be very happy to receive those goodies ;)

I chose to give a few items to the same struggling user gifted. I hope their holidays brighten a tiny bit. I know how it is to struggle and to feel unloved, and then to receive stuff you hope to one day own.

Okay get ready as I'm leaving the country for a year I'm all emotional about leaving people

Where do I even start with you? You have been the bestest of friends to me since the start and it's crazy to think how long we've known each other now - we've been to each other's houses for amazing trips and wandered about London so many times together and all of those experiences are so precious to me - I don't think I've ever met someone I could just click with so effortlessly and I love you so much <3 I am going to miss you so much when I'm away.

YOU. Another partner in crime that came all the way from California to see me and the rest of Scotland. It still totally blows my mind that you did that and that we had the most ridiculously magical time together - even if it was just laying like slugs in a nest we made on my new flats floor. We don't get to speak much anymore but you will forever be so close to my heart and ilu <3 may you forever ride the p train

We started speaking when you were like 16?? And now you are engaged and have a weird adult life and it's all so insane and I'm so so fucking proud of you Julen. YOU NAMED YOUR CAT AFTER ME so I mean we are pretty much bonded for life whether you are okay with this or not. I really miss you and once I know my situation in Madagascar more I'm thinking of popping back into unique as I am gonna need human interaction so bad and ilu all. Also spoon.

TABS. We haven't spoken in fucking AGES and it makes me sad because whenever I see your Facebook our subeta posts etc it makes me smile because you are so awesome and I miss you hella. I am also really proud of you and what you've done with your book etc!

Another amazing person I suck at keeping in contact with - you are one one the genuinely sweetest and kindest people I've ever met <3

You are super awesome and I miss our silly chats!

Even though we don't speak anymore as I suck at being a human being, I always think of you when I see these things. You helped me through some really impossibly rough times and stayed up with me when I was crying and stressed and so close to totally losing it and I will never ever forget it, thank you <3

We became friends so suddenly through a cw swap and it was the best thing that happened because you are such a sweetheart and it was at a point I was really scared to make friends with people on here as I wasn't super active and lots of people seemed kinda closed off and almost hostile with the cw scene?? BUT NOT YOU and I'm super happy we met <3 I hope so much that your real life troubles pass soon because I miss you!

I miss our daft Skype chats so much and they totally have to resume once I live on Skype in Madagascar. You picked my pole dancing shoes and other mad things and you stayed such a great person even through the really rough times you had.

@ mieke I don't even know where to start with you because there's just so much?? It was so special to be your friend through things like izzys arrival and to send your girls presents over Christmas etc and I miss your ridiculous sense of humour and life in general like your cat that thinks it's a deer and how you love to sleep on the floor? You are amazing and I miss you!

I don't know how you do it but you NEVER forget another anyone despite real life and the gazillion birthdays and Christmas events etc. It's really special that you still think of me even when it's been ages since we had a proper chat and I will always always smile when I see pings etc from you <3 you are so genuinely KIND and it's so rare these days ilu.

I will probably add more but now I'm all sad and miss people eek

I don't have many people to brag on... I've been pretty inactive on Subeta recently. But I do have a few people I want to thank :*

I can easily say you are my closest friend on Sub! I know things have been hectic on your side of the ocean recently ;) But you've always made an effort to be in constant contact with me! I appreciate that. Sub is nice enough to be an escape if I've had a bad day IRL and it makes it even better having a good friend to share it with <3

Not many people are active on the tree house anymore, at least not from when I first joined! But you were one of the first people I met on there and I'm glad we still keep in touch!! <3

You made lumi last year for me SO SPECIAL. And I know you are doing just the same for someone this year <3 I know I've said thank you a million times but I hope you understand just how great it was since that was my first Lumi on sub!

I know things have been not so great recently and it's been awhile since we've spoken but I just wanted to say I hope you are feeling better sweetie <3 No need to reply, I just hope you see this some time soon!

I know I don't know you that well, but after what you did for me (and I'm sure many others ;-; ) I can tell you have such a sweet soul! Doing a giveaway like this is very sweet and I'm just thankful for an opportunity to say thanks to my friends and having a reason to be all gushy xD

Happy lumi everyone!! :*

FIRST OF ALL I LOVE ALL OF YOU

@ Habeebi I love you, im sorry i've been out of reach - i pass out and eat my pillow every night. I hope your new position is working out for you. I'm sorry we don't talk enough. I miss you <3 and our silly chats about weird things no one would understand sometimes.

What a nice thing to do. :D

I will take a minute to say the following:

- I know you are my daughter, so I'm a tad bit biased...but I think you are an amazing, beautiful, talented young lady. I just wish you knew how special you were. [hugs]

- I want to thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness. You are always sharing the fruits of your labors (rsing - lol), and I very much appreciate it.

- Your friendship has been very special to me, and I'm sorry we don't get a chance to talk more. I know how busy you are, and hopefully that will change for you soon! :D

I really enjoyed meeting you in real life! I am so glad t9 have found you here on subeta and be able to make not just an online friend but a friend I can alsochang out with whenever! I love that we have so much in common and hopefully we can go to a brewery together soon!

As promised, I am back to get you! Oh my goodness what we have been through together ! Can you believe the crap we have dealt with over the years? I could not possibly have made it through without your love and support and genuine caring! You are beyond compare dear G and I love you so much.

It isn’t just that you offer to make your husband come rescue me on a regular basis. It is more the way you can make me laugh through every situation. But you maybe better stop offering the rescue before I take you up on it!

Long story short, you are one of my favorite people in the entire world and I cannot get enough of you!

, You are all my good friends and i am happy that i know you all. Thanks for being my friends, :)

Thanks for being my longest friend here on Subeta! I'm glad we've stayed in touch over the years! <3

I enjoy your friendship and your helpful nature. Thank you for being one of the people who make my Subeta better!

First of all, you're absolutely stunning. You're a thoroughly beautiful human. I was so lucky to be able to photograph you and your big eyes and gorgeous hair a few years ago. I want to express how much I appreciate you as a person. I have always admired your strength and originality. Almost everything you like is cool or I have grown to realize is cool as an adult. I think back on experiences with you as good times as well as positive lessons in my life. Thank you for being there for me. I can always depend on you for advice or friendship even if we haven't spoken in months. You're one of the only true friends I've ever had. Thank you so much. There were times where I felt like I didn't have any friends but you were a constant source of warmth and familiarity. Not only are you a fantastic friend, you are extraordinarily creative. I loved watching your orchestra concert when I was done with choir. And one of my favorite Christmas gifts I have received was your delicious lemon bars. The bakery is so lucky to have you working there. Also I am so proud of you. You are my highest achieving friend and I know you're going to make such a difference in the world. I couldn't work as hard as you. You fucking rock.

I wrote this because of the giveaway but that doesn't make it less true. I've been trying to be more open with people about my feelings because I want the people I love to know I appreciate them. I have held back from saying positive things to so many people in the past and I've come to realize there's just no point in that. Anyway, I love you and appreciate you <3
