Suddenly feeling super depressed about golden times that happened 20 years ago and are never coming again. Blah. This, too, shall pass.
@balinares When this is all over, I really want as many of us who will still speak to each other to get together, somehow somewhere, and basically have our own Big Chill/Return of the Secaucus 7* moment.
(*two very similar films about a bunch of ex-hippies reuniting in middle age and taking stock of their lives)
@zebratron2084 In the community whose long cold demise I suddenly find myself achingly mourning right now, I don't even know where people went. Re-reading logs, I realize I'd all but forgotten most of those people, whom I adored.
This is a horrible feeling. I'm taking it hard.
@balinares And I can't even read logs. Far too painful for far too many reasons, lost friends being one of the most prominence. (That plus the fact that me circa 2005 comes across as so CRINGE -____- )
Don't beat yourself up to harshly for being different when you were younger.
We all were.
That's how we got to here.
@JulieSqveakaroo @zebratron2084 @balinares if you don't mind me saying, part of being in a golden age is the inability to know you're in one, or recognize when it passes.
i miss many of the friends i had back when i was at my social and creative peak, but mostly i wish i had known the friends i have *now* back *then.*
@zx3 @JulieSqveakaroo @balinares Have all y'all seen Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai? That film and all its references to the Passing Of An Age has been setting very heavily with me lately. It's been a lot of comfort.
@zebratron2084 @JulieSqveakaroo @balinares "Ghost Dog" is a fantastic movie for so many reasons. i need to give it a rewatch soon.
