To AIU: I really didn't know what to expect when I joined AIU. Ichi told me about this active, fun AI music community, so I decided to give it a try. If you haven't figured it out already, I'm sort of an introvert. I tend to do a lot more lurking than talking, but that doesn't mean I'm not paying attention. I've seen so many great things happen here. On a personal level, it's the people who have made the biggest impact on me. I'm grateful to everyone who has taken the time to listen to my music, whether they loved it or not. People have checked in to see how I was doing, encouraged me, and even helped me level up my rank by counting! lol Those may seem like small things, but they meant a lot to me. I've enjoyed listening to everyone else's music. I've laughed and shed tears with you all. Those shared moments have made AIU much more than just another Discord server to me. Happy Anniversary AIU! Love, Lydie ---------------------------------------------- I didn't know what I'd find When I found this place I kept to myself Just taking it all in Watching everyone create Never needing to stand out Never thought my songs would End up changing me It's more than sharing songs It's the people who care You saw more than the music You made me want to stay No judgment, just open hearts People who helped me grow Every word encouraged me I found the courage to share Every song had a story to tell Some were true, some make-believe We found each other through the music Across every time zone Someone asking how I am Kind words when I needed them Sometimes it's the little things That mean the most It's more than sharing songs It's the people who care You saw more than the music You made me want to stay No judgment, just open hearts People who helped me grow Every word encouraged me I found the courage to share I came here looking for a place to share my songs I found so much more A-I-U... Thank you for giving me a place to belong. Sometimes all it takes Is one place... One song... One community... A-I-U.
