It's tempting to flippantly reject any and all nostalgia and love for this forum and its members. But it would be a lie.

There is an undeniable weight that builds in my heart when I come to Oddworld Forums, even now. Like having come through a hurricane of souls, recalling the names of a few people whose fingers I have grazed with my own, then seeing them vanish and disappear in a whirl of events where their disappearance falls unmarked, just another impossible event to see in the roaring tempest until long after it abates.

I don't know if I'll come back here again. Seeing this old forum theme again makes me feel more sentimental than I want to admit, recalling years worth of memory. I'm not sure I want to bring the baggage of so many years onto me all at once like that again. I'm happy today and live a good life. It's not that I have no wish to be here anymore, but that I have no need for it and the torture of recollection is stronger than what good I think I can draw from here.

I'm reachable on the Oddworld Forums Discord.
