The Highlight Zone
Not a rip off of The Twilight Zone. Honest. ^_____^;;;
...I'm not dead, I promise!

It's...been a while. I'm not sure what I can say. I know I probably worried a lot of people, and I'm truly sorry.

I needed space. I needed time. Not from any one person, I just needed a chance to sit back and get a handle on my life. ...So that's what I've been doing.

I'm at college now. Truman State University. State college, but a difficult college. I think I'm doing well. It's actually the beginning of finals week. I've got one tomorrow (er...today?) that I've been spending the vast majority of my time studying for. (It's evil! I swear! EEEEVIL) I'm in a perfectly happy relationship, if currently long-distance, that my parents are not going to approve of once they find out...mostly just because that's the way they are. Feh. But depending on what happens in his life, he might be coming up here next semester. We're trying to get it all sorted out. Uh...I've got some friends, a roommate I get along well with, and life is good.

Am I coming back to Gaia? No. Definitely not. One of the things I determined in my internet hiatus is that this life, this virtual existence we have here, it can be good. It can be great. You can meet amazing people here. It can support you when you're down and bring you up when you're happy. But it can't be your life. There's a big world out there. Far more than you can find in a computer screen. If you never get off the computer chair, how can you experience it?

I've got college, I've got friends, I've got someone I love. The internet has long since waned from my life, and I don't want it to be such a huge part anymore.

I guess I just...wanted to say hello. To see how everyone was doing. To let you know I'm okay.

Gods, I can barely remember what all this was like. Things have changed a lot. Both here and within. I'm not even sure what I can say.

Well, I'll try to drop by here and there to say hi. It's the least I could do.

I can relate in many ways. Even though I haven't left Gaia outright, there have been several periods where people were wondering if I'd dropped off the face of the planet while I was getting a grip on my real life, my local life. sweatdrop

I'm glad your life is working out so well for you, and thanks for stopping by to say hello! Hopefully your life continues to progress! ^_^

Wow, you ARE still alive. XD

It's been forever! I'm glad you're having a nice time away from Gaia, and I hope life continues to be positive for you. :3 It was nice to see a journal comment from you, seeing as how I thought you fell off of the face of the earth. XD I just got my internet connection turned back on today, so sorry about the late reply as well. :B

Just keep truckin' in real life, and thanks for the comment you left me on my journal. It brought up my hopes for people, even if just a little bit~

*snugs everyone* <3

Spencer: I didn't fall off the face of the earth, I just went into ninja mode. ninja I was so ninja that I didn't even know I was doing it. That's the ULTIMATE kind.

Well, I'm glad~ Don't lose faith in humanity just yet. There's still some good to be had. Just keep trying and you'll find it. It's there.

I'll have to get a hold of you so we can catch up. XD It's been a while.

Sounds like things are going really well for you! I'm happy you've found a life that makes you really happy.

Never forget those you met online though, even those of us you didn't talk to all the time. ^_^
