Beyond the Horizon\of the Place We Lived When We Were Young...

Mar 26, 2009 20:02

I just had a long conversation with an old friend. Part of what it got into was people I've known and people I knew. Revisiting some of that was hard ( Read more... )

I think I know who you're talking about. It's nice to see a bit of elaboration on the subject. It's sad to see people retreat from the world, to be honest. You played TWEWY, the whole theme behind the game clicks with me pretty well. Introversion is fine, but... It's our interactions with the world, our clashing of beliefs that expand our little bubble and open our eyes to a brighter world...

But from what I know of the betrayal... That's just... amazingly suck, ya. I suppose as long as they're still interacting with people, even if they've withdrawn from a more public eye.

Yes, TWEWY is what I'd prescribe for anyone who says they don't need people. Sure, it's sappy and has lots of overdramatic anime tropes -- but yes, interaction with other people is important and enriches our lives, even if it does hurt sometimes.

Did I ever show you Gotye's, 'heart's a mess'? Sorta a similar theme that I really dig. Is a very pretty, slightly oddball song. If I /haven't/, then here!

Erf. Reading this makes me remember all the friends I had during my first three years of college. Room mates and all. Good times were had. I haven't heard from most of them in over a year.

It's tough to move on and keep an eye toward the future. It feels like it's never going to be as good as it was. Depressing. :/

Oh, I know this is something that everyone feels. Ever had a friend you were close to that you don't talk to anymore? You'll understand what I'm talking about.

Try to stay in touch. Even if it's not the same as it used to be, it's better than just letting it stay frozen in time.

Out of curiosity, are these memories from the fandom (more specifically San Diego) or from even further back in your old hometown?

jirris_midvale March 29 2009, 17:03:56 UTC

Well, a lot of this involves internet interaction, so location in irrelevant. It's more a time period thing. And yes, it's all fandom stuff.

I'd rather forget most of the people from my home town, honestly XD

Hitting the nail on the head...of sorts.... anonymous March 31 2009, 19:22:39 UTC

Lauran!!! I misses you!!! I was sitting at home the other day, and i was bored as hell and i was like...damn i miss talking to Lauran. My days of intellectual conversation are numbered,and somehow i spend more time talking about my work (which is basically discussing the lack of mental capacity that people have) and pop culture, and i miss sitting on my old couch talking for hours on end about crap with you. I just wanted to pop in and say Hai and that i kinda sorta miss you :P.

Desi :)
