It is so weird coming back to this blog after so many years and reading all my fangirl posts from my teens and early-20s. This place feels frozen in time, like I’m in a museum of my past selves.
One thing is for sure: I was a geek. Oh my God, I was such a geek. And still am, just with a fully-developed frontal lobe and better discernment when it comes to parasocial relationships. .
This was my sanctuary. A place to be my weirdest self . A place to indulge in my inner fangirl without fear of judgement.
I am no different than anybody else — I can’t help but to cringe at my youth. Reading my words from over a decade ago feels akin to watching a PowerPoint slideshow of every embarrassing moment of my life. But shit, I loved it here. Loved the people here. All the strangers I never knew beyond these little avatars. I still think about some of you often, wherever you are.
