Comment:
A long long time ago, I talked to a wonderfully kind and gentle person. Back when AIM was still a thing and I was less afraid of talking to people, he was someone that I'd wished I'd kept in contact with. And not long after, I created a gift for him for his kindness which is here. I was just entering what would be the most tumultuous years of my life, and I lost contact with so many people. Friends, family, even folks I'd chit chat with online on occasion.
I never forgot any of them.
Ever.
I have an extremely difficult time keeping in touch with people, even more so now. But I always thank others for their kindness, I always remember when people are nice to me. And recently, while deep in my feelings, I've been wanting to reach out to all those lost bonds and try to rekindle them. Some I know I can't, the bridges are nothing but ash... but some, there's a faint glimmer.
To sum it up, this is my very long way of saying thank you to
bagheera for still impacting my life with the kindness you showed me so many years ago.

OMG WAAAAT ;____;
Why are you so nice to me.
I am not worthy.
I think I died a little bit.

RE: sentiments from long ago - I am glad I am not the only one who thinks often of the past and the people in it. I am the type of person who carries very strong memories and don't really let them go (even in instances where it may be good for me to do so). If memory serves, I don't think we spoke that much back then (or perhaps it was just kinda toward the tail end of the online communities I participated in back then... and people gradually migrating away from AIM for MSN/Yahoo Messenger. But I very much remember wishing having gotten to know you better (I think you disappeared for a few years and stopped uploading art).
I fell out of touch with a lot of people since, too, but my heart always feel so warm when I rediscover someone I knew from those days. Thank you so much for remembering me; the art, the words, and the sentiments, they are all equally invaluable gifts to me.
Thank you so much darling - and an aside, I do believe I still owe you art. ;) I really need to learn how to work faster, my backlog never seems to go down in size. xD
P.S. - Hey! We can still keep in touch! ^^ I mostly use Telegram now - lemme know if you use that too! I'll note you my info.

You are worthy and deserving - Kindness returns kindness, that's why! <333
I'm the same very much so. Much like they say an elephant doesn't forget, I remember far more than I should sometimes or even want to, but I cherish all the good memories and reflect on the bad for what it was. We only chatted a few times (I was so tied up with chaos of college x__ x) and it was around that same time too when the messenger migration was happening. I honestly feel the same, which is partly why you never left my memory. You were just a very gentle presence and so fun to chat with, and that was something I think I needed in all the instability that was "Going away to college". And unfortunately, yes, I did disappear for a good while there but I'm finally truly trying to come back. Picking up the scattered pieces and stepping into the light.
You don't have to thank me, I genuinely am so very thankful and grateful to you!
Pffft you don't owe me a single thing, at least not that I can remember. But you don't have to do anything for me in return from present or past, I just wanted to be able to properly express my feelings (especially now that I've improved!). Its more than enough to know you like it and understand the sentiment behind it. <3
I would be absolutely delighted to! I use telegram too, I'll enable my notes so we can exchange info.

I hear you on all this. There's this patchwork of lives who've intersected with our own, all comprising our personal histories. The kids you played with, the goofy teens you graduated with, the personas online and the players behind them. Lots whom I still think about, from all stages of my life, wondering how they're doing now, what they're doing, how they've changed or remained the same. Some I come to find have died while I wasn't looking, many way too young. No chance of catching up with them "later" anymore. And some have just vanished. Maybe some of those I'll meet again someday?
And yeah, I kinda suck at keeping contact too.

Its a sentiment that a lot of people can relate to, I think most people wonder about the paths that are strewn throughout their lives. Sometimes all we have are the memories of those meetings with those who passed on, and we go through life wondering "what could have been". I think that's just a natural thing for someone that has a longing to connect/reconnect.
Communication is such a hard thing for lots of us, it helps when others are understanding that some just really struggle with it.
