Ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, comrades and friends:
Hi.
I hadn't thought about this site in years until the other day. Someone at my weekly D&D game mentioned that they too used to frequent it, and I today I randomly thought to see if I could still get into my account. As you can see, I was successful.
I don't know what I expect, or what I'm doing here, but I thought I'd leave some little note of my continued existence for those who might look. Most of my friends here haven't been online in many years, and I imagine many of them never will be again, but this place is the only link I have left to any of you. My memories of the conversations we used to share when we were younger are fuzzy now, but I do remember some of you and that we enjoyed talking to one another. I've failed to maintain any form of communication with any of you, and that goes for many people I've met in the larger world since. I've become a rather closed off person, and have more social anxiety than I had back then. There were some rough years between when last we spoke and now, and in many ways I am different person. I imagine many of you can say the same.
But I'm okay, and I hope you all are as well. I hope life has been good to you, and that there have been more happy times than sad. I am glad this little slice of my younger years is still here, along with all of my sad ramblings that have filled this journal. I haven't gone back to read them yet, and I am a bit afraid of the embarrassment I may feel at their contents, but I currently intend to leave them where they are as evidence of who I was and what my life was like when things were simpler and happier than they have been in my adult world. As far as I know, this is the only place online that anything I wrote back then survives.
As a final message for any of the unlikely few who may read this, I have it set where any comments or what have you will send a notification to my current, active email address, so if anyone feels the desire to reach out and reminisce (or attempt to reconnect) I will know about it whether I remember to come back to this place and check or not.
Take care, old friends.
