Almost 15 Years Later

[[Fawn{STAR}]]

It's been years. Does anyone still check in here? I thought about this site briefly today - I still knew the url by heart. I remember posting in the chatbox at the bottom of the site, frantically pressing the "refresh" button since cbox didn't have premium features yet. I remember the trends of rainbow and gradient text, and and blockquoting and then changing to smaller fonts. I remember the way the graphics and signatures had changed over time.

W;TFC was my home for a number of years. It was such an integral part of my journey growing up and helped me fall in love with writing.

I've fallen back into rp-ing a year or so ago. I'm still writing. I've found a new home, a new community, and some great friends. But I miss you all. I miss this site.

Real life has hit so quickly. Time passes by even faster than I ever could have imagined. We all grew up, we're all over the world now. Who knows? Maybe some of us are married, have kids even. IThe friends I made on here so many years ago, the ones who helped me when I had no where else to turn, helped me feel at home - are you doing well? I hope life has been treating you kindly.

fshdionrionefsdoinsiobnd I don't know if you'll see this, but yes I still check in! Multiple times a year lol

I follow a lot of Warriors art on Tumblr and of course it's filled with spoilers... it makes me want to start reading the books again, which is interesting as I don't really care for reading anymore. My brain makes it so difficult to focus. I was thinking that maybe getting back into roleplaying again would be good for my brain, and decided to check up on this site out of curiosity. I was so surprised to see this post!

I personally am not doing well at all... I mean, I guess I've never been well lol, I feel like I complained a lot on this site when I was younger. I'm pretty mentally and physically ill now, I've had to take time off from college and I've been spending lots of time in the hospital and in bed and I'm just frustrated. I'm 23 (almost 24) and I truly feel like I'm 93, and I hate it. It's so hard to be positive. I try and tell myself that all the horrible stuff I'm going through will just make me tougher and make life easier later on, but I'm struggling to believe I have a future at this point, because I just keep getting sicker and sicker no matter how much I take care of myself. I don't know what's wrong. On the bright side, I do have an amazing, supportive partner I live with, so there's that.

It really would be nice if everyone would come back here and everything could just go back to the way it was, and I could have another distraction from reality lol. But I'm sure everyone is really busy... technically I'm supposed to be busy too. I do hope everyone else is well too. I do think about this site a lot.

Hi folks..
I totally can relate to the being both physically and mentally unwell.. I have not been okay at all. I hope you all are doing better, though. I know the pandemic is really hard for us all.

I miss this place and lots of love to all of you.

stay well

OMG! I’m amazed people still check! Hello!! Hi!! I miss you all so much! T.T wow there are so many things I forgot about. Seeing your profiles and hearing stories makes me remember so much of it and it warms my heart.

I’m doing ok. Not great, but better than my worst. My physical health was at its worst in 2018 when I developed fibromyalgia. Things haven’t been the same since then. But I did just finally pay off the last of all of my credit debt!! Which means I can start saving up for my bf and I to get married. I run a guild in Guild Wars 2 now. Been doing that since 2019. The weekly grind is killing me. The isolation from lockdown hasn’t helped. I sit in the same spot all day every day prettymuch. The monotony of life and the restrictions from my health make me feel not emotionally great...but I try to balance letting myself think about and feel the “bad” things with feeling grateful that I have the things I do, and savoring this moment in time instead of prematurely grieving for it. It’s uh...difficult lol.
