Hi guys. Just stopping by for a slice of life update. I’m 28 now!
I have so many long term friendships from this place, dating back to when I was 15! 13 whole years ago!!! My entire real life is a butterfly effect from making this account. Genuinely changed my life.
My bestie still lives in the apartment below me, she was local and found me on insta from my tumblr. Been inseparable since we were 20. My other great friend was also a local who sent me a message on here when we were 17. 90% of everyone I’m friends with now is through those two, some way.
Alsoooo…entered a new relationship with someone who I met on here, all those years ago. We were just friends and kept contact on other socials for over a decade. Had a big fat teenage ecrush on him back in the day (lol) and used to video chat on tinychat late at night (real ones remember.) Never perused it because he lives 500 miles away but here we are. He is moving to me once he finishes school and we see each other several times a month. I’m actually going there tomorrow for the weekend.
I feel like this place was formative in so many other ways. You all appreciated my hyperinterest in nu metal and late 90s/early 00s internet and mall culture. My confidence to be myself and not gaf has followed me my entire life. I was in the trenches of a pre-nu metal revival world posting to my hearts desire.
I still have the softest of spots for nu metal but theres so much more I love now. I will never forget you all. Maybe one day I’ll tell my family the truth of what the hell I was doing in my room and how I know everybody. ❤️
