I Sit On This Bench In The Locker Room And I Am Brought Back To A Time Not So Long Ago When I'd First Joined This Site, Fresh Out Of A Quadrant, Mostly Isolated, And Skeptical At Best That There Was Anything Of Value To Be Found Here. Now, Here We Are! I Have Made So Many Friends Who I've Spoken To Both On This Platform And At The Various Events Run By Users. I've Loved And Lost Plenty, But I've Gained So Much More, Just By Nature Of Interacting With And Learning About So Many Of You. Still. I Am... Exhausted. I Was Not Equipped For This Level Of Social Interaction When I First Joined, And I Have Been Slowly Withdrawing Into Myself In A Way That Serves Neither Myself Nor The Trolls I've Come To Care For So Deeply. I Think I Will Give Myself A Break For A Bit. I Love You, I Will Be Back, And Those Of You Who Are Closest To Me Know You Can Reach Out And Visit As You Please. #positive
