My online home for the last 6 years is pretty much dead to me now. The only people who are left hold no appeal to me. This is a place that kept me sane when I was feeling lonely and crazy. It got me in touch with people I had things in common with, rather than people I was forced to see everyday at school. And now it's meaningless to me. I'm only still there because of the memories it holds. But even those are starting to feel meaningless. I've been phasing myself out of the place for a few months.
At the same time, I see my friendship with my best friend decaying in front of my eyes, and he does too, but there isn't much we can do about it. Our lives are changing in very different ways, and what little that brought us together doesn't seem like enough to hold us together. We're still friends, no doubt, but we're not as close as we used to be. It's sad, but I guess it's just a natural progression.
It's rather symbolic that these two things are happening around the same time, because we met on that site. This, combined with the fact I hate where I physically live, right now I feel like I have no where to call a home. So what now?
Find another one? Make another one? Opt to not have one?
This is new territory for me, and I don't think I like it much...
