Some days I wonder...

[Resarekt]

As we all go our separate ways, after a while, I imagine that is when we will randomly get this feeling of nostalgia at some point. Where are they now, what have they been doing, are they alright, do they even remember this or that ? All legitimate questions, and they do apply to pretty much anyone you can remember after all those years have passed by. I guess it's the same for some elementary or high school peeps that you never really think about. Maybe it's the same for some objects or places you used to go or own, but when you part from inanimate objects like that, there is no sense of continuity for them, while in the meantime people go on with life... at least we hope.

I personally think that nostalgia factor is why I keep coming back to forums I visited a lot (particularly here) and I tend to try to check up on people. I mean, let me put it this way...after JV went down for good...I sat pondering...wondering what would fill that (admittedly) large void in my day. Maybe I'll get a job and work those hours away...maybe I'll snag a new hobby that will devour those hours I had left over...maybe I'll find another forum! 

In fact, I did all those things (and yes, the nostalgia factor did factor into that forum, too. I actually am in a discord server with about 25-35 of my closest friends there! And yes, I HAVE met up with them before). But, I still yearned to know how everyone was. When I noticed there was one (and soon two) new forum, I pounced on the chance to see how my closest JV friends (and everyone else) have been! And over time I did lose interest (there is something missing about the OG JV site that I look for) but I've come back each and every time...for no matter how long it may be. I believe that the JV forum was a bit different than some other forums...in that many of us members interacted with one another frequently enough to form a solid, if not impervious, relationship. I'm sure eventually, when i do actually leave, I will still try to stay in contact with those I'm close to. And hell, I might even want to meet up with some of y'all...but who knows.

Does this make any sense lmao. Idk...maybe
