I was reminiscing on that one time we held that birthday party in the towns again because I'm a loser and that's still the coolest party I've ever been to, and had to come over to glance through the archives again. It took me three password changes and one reactivation email just to get here, if that puts into perspective how long it's been since I've been active here. I was on a jank toshiba laptop I talked my mother into letting me take over that always ran way too hot on my legs, wrapping up my last year of high school in 2014. It was an unnerving time for me as most stereotypical teenage years tend to be (though looking back and comparing them to now, times were waaaay simpler), and having this as a place to forget about the world for a while was big for me, not only as a creative outlet, but as a place to bond with others who happened to have similar interests to me. I'm happy to say that a solid five years after getting my degree, that I'm finally breaking out of retail and moving on to pursuing licensure as a funeral director. I live alone and adopted two cats of my own two years ago, and I've probably never been happier. Even though we may be at different points in our lives, doing all sorts of great things, I thank each and every one of you for being around for even a part of my life. I hope you're all doing well and are happy wherever you are.

Ember, I offer my condolences for your loss. 25 is an impressive lifespan, truly. It sounds like she lived a long, happy life with many friends. She walks with StarClan now.

I'm so glad to hear that you're doing well! Congratulations on graduating! Good luck getting your licensure as a funeral director!

Looking back on 2014, life was a lot simpler. I was also in my last year at high school. I graduated from college in 2017 - it's kind of strange to think that was seven years ago. I'm working as an environmental educator now, I do herpetological (reptiles and amphibians) field research when I'm not teaching, and I'm completing a Minnesota Master Naturalist program. I've got my eyes set on a Master of Science in Earth Science and a PhD in Herpetology (studying reptiles and amphibians).

Thank you for the condolences. I really appreciate it. (My family has seven cats since Juna passed - my two are Esme and Brambleberry (she has a warrior name!))

I loved roleplaying with everyone. I hope all of you are doing well.
