I went back recently and looked at old pictures of me with legos. Take a look at how legos (and more importantly bionicles) shaped who I am as a person today.
My second bionicle set, and one of the first lego sets I owned. For christmas my sister got Nokoma, and I got Nuju. We both loved them instantly. The first bionicle sets we got were ahkmou and ehrye.
Sorry to skip 2005. I couldn’t find any pictures from that year. I got more sets, and my interest in bionicle and lego grew.

After the closing of the bionicle series, my interest in bionicle (and therefore lego) faded.
That is until I discovered a little site called bricklink.
I had been disappointing with every birthday present until then, so in 2015 I just asked for money, and spend it on bricklink. I got tons of the old sets that I’d never owned, and some random ones throughout the series. This was also when bionicle was rebooted, re-inspiring my interest.
Later, I found this site, and my MOCs got better and better. Since then, Lego has become my hobby.
