JediMasterBater's blog post - On missing people

On the topic of people leaving the site and the site just not having the same general atmosphere that it used to, I have to say there are few here (or I should say who are no longer here) that I miss dearly. Like, I still think about those people all the time. It's wild how we can make such close connections with people that we never meet. Some of them, I do have other ways to reach out to which is awesome--I'm so happy and lucky to have those people but it really sucks to have gone out of touch with others. Especially after having daily contact with them, sharing our joy, struggles, and sorrow. I have definitely been fortunate enough to receive a lot of support from people here and I look up to, and respect so many of the people I have met here. Just putting the energy out there that you are missed!

For the ones who are still around I'm amazed at how even after years of not having any contact with you all it feels so easy to just slip back into old friendships with jokes, banter, and heartfelt conversation. Thank you for that. Some things change, but thankfully, for the most part, the people stay the same .
