I’m really happy you’re back, it’s so good to read your words.
And you have a really good point, I too think about my time here, including my time away. I’ve almost spent 10 years of my youth like you said, about the “friends” I forgot. Whether they really were friends! But also about what I write, how much it changed, even how I got better. I would never have gotten better if it werent for this place.
