wherefore art thou

​I was hit with such a wave of nostalgia remembering how much effort we all put into being aesthetic back then. The URLs were always so witty and sharp, and the energy of the dash was just full of excitement. I see faces I used to adore from a distance, mutuals I would exchange messages with until the sun came up, and people who truly became my friends during that era. It brings back so many memories of a time when everything felt more engaging and connected.

​But honestly, there is this tiny pinch in my heart realizing I have no idea where most of them are now. I do not know what their lives look like or how they have changed, and I find myself wishing I could just drop a random message to say "hey, I remember you" without it feeling totally out of left field. That is exactly why I always make it a point to keep my own page updated, even if it is just by uploading a single picture. It is my way of telling that hey, I am still here.

Some loves aren't meant to stay.

I let you go, with no regret,
