thank you all for the comments this has always meant a lot to me
and in response to your question its like I am feeling the rain alleviate all the pain and sadness for the past 2 years and that now I am truly happy. all those nights where I was in a bad place or kept feeling terrible over not being good enough is finally gone from my mind. the past is the past and I have only felt like I've changed as a person and a player and like such I feel like I can truly smile now without worrying about elo or nothing incredible. seeing those letters next to my name is probably the most relieving thing in the world right now as it was also a promise I gave to my mother before she passed away in January. maybe I will care a little bit about elo when I am striving for FM but disregarding that there's nothing else I rather do now than just smile and play blitz celebrating till its 5am or more, I am just really happy and that's what matters to me right now... that I am truly happy
I have felt like I've done many mistakes as a person not just a player throughout the past few years and I've said or done things which I regret. sometimes I am very toxic and other times I was just really annoying to be around but despite all those things I feel like my life is only getting better and I've truly changed as a person so I can't emphasise enough truly how I am actually super happy for the most special time of my life so yeah that's how I feel
Truly impressive. And wonderful to see that you fulfilled your promise to your mother.
It's pretty awesome to be able to say the words: Brayan Amaya, National Master

Congratulations that's amazing how you've reached NM!!! Hoping you can reach FM and beyond mate ♥️
took years of motivation and some tough moments but I finally managed to break 2200 and become a national master. after this I am going to dedicate time towards focusing on a FIDE title like FM and hopefully go beyond but in the meantime enjoy this game which made me feel like a national master! after round 2 I was already 2202 but this game felt like the highlight!
I swindled a FM in a +3 position and ended the game with a killer move Rxd2!
