I miss you guys.
Only echoes of friendship drift on LJ for me. Just two people are left updating on a regular basis (and a 'thank you' goes out to those two). I know the rest of you are probably unlikely to see this. I wish I knew what was going on in your lives.
I'm not one to talk because I haven't been updating either. But I miss the friends I had here, the friends I made online, the friends that always stayed with me no matter where I lived. And I've moved so many times. It's just natural to lose friends. But not you guys.
Except time does pull us apart. It's not just that we have our own separate lives. We've always had our own lives. Maybe we don't share a hobby together anymore, but we're all still on the internet all the time. We're just not available on chat clients, or on blogs like livejournal. Tumblr is just another manifestation of the echoes of our friendship where I try to piece together what the images and quotes say about your life.
I don't know why I've felt so sad lately. I have everything I want. I have a wonderful boyfriend who I've been dating for over a year now. I have a wonderful career building for me and am actually doing surprisingly well in science (I really thought I'd struggle more than I am). I have a whole batch of friends I can hang out with at any time. And I have a kitty to hug when I'm feeling lonely.
I thought I was sad in Tucson because I hated my life there. I hated my job. I had only two friends I could count on. I worked two jobs and took classes and had no time to myself. So it was natural to be sad. But now...I have everything I could possibly want and I still feel sad for some nameless reason. I don't understand. Perhaps it's because I miss who I was. I miss writing, and roleplaying, and werewolf, and chatting long hours into the night with one of you about anything and everything. I haven't chatted into the wee hours of the night with anybody for a very, very long time.
I miss all of you. I hope some of you see this. I hope some of you still sometimes drift back to LJ even when you haven't written here in so long. Do you ever feel nostalgic like this?
I'll try to be on AIM a little more if you ever want to chat.
