Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I don't know if anyone will find this. I just wanted to write one last thank you to the friends who spent my high school and early college days with me on here. I have some great memories of Gaia and all of you.

I logged on today because I was feeling sad about my life. But logging in is even sadder. I can see that time is standing still here. I remember how fun it used to be, logging in and writing stories with all my friends in Zahina Pride. Heh, and I remember the few months where I became the head of the Roost. But I wasn't confident in my photoshop skills, so I gave the shop away.

Man I remember when I fell in love on here. And my buddy Teddy messaged him and asked him his true feelings. That was the coolest. Falling in love for the first time was surreal. It wouldn't have happened without you.

I'm rambling, but this is my grand farewell, so I'm gonna ramble on happily.

I also remember my friends that joined here with me; Mary, Sarah, Bethany, Helen, Mia, Nicole... everyone. Things have really changed. Sometimes it feels like we've grown so far away. You will always be dear friends to my heart.

I can't believe its been 9 years since this all started.

And to everyone at Zahina, you guys were an amazing community of writers, storytellers, artists, and friends. I miss you all. We had an exciting time. I wish we could write one last story together. I would be up for it.

Zach, I'm including you in this too. I hope you are doing better. You've had a rough life that didn't go as planned. But this is the only one you get. I wish it could get easier for you. I hope you found happiness and good friends. I hope your memory and your headaches are getting better. I wish you could find happiness and love in life. I'm sorry that I couldn't help. I really always hoped to encourage you to embrace your future to your full potential. Wherever you are, don't waste this life. There's beauty and hope out there. I promise.

I'm really sad right now, but I know things will get better. Someday.

Anyway, I'm sure that I will be back here every once in a long while, when I get sad or miss you guys. If no one ever reads this, let it stand as a symbol of my memories and my feelings.

Regardless, I'm happy with the person I've grown up to be. I look forward to what comes next.

Just adding invisible text, because I miss using it so much.

I don't know why I have to feel this way. Some days are meant to hurt.

Till we meet again everyone, goodbye.


There are places I remember all my life
Though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
Of lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I loved them all
