OMG I cant believe my eyes, how are you my dear? How is life?

Sorry I was MIA. But I will try and be regular now.

Lol I pop by when I can in between work and things

Haven't been addicted to IF in ages. It doesn't hold the same appeal anymore Ecri but I still check in. 😊

It'll be my three year anniversary soon. Been here for so long!

Hey Arya,

It happens, sometimes we are busy to check in, at times I do check in and when I find nobody around, I just read the posts and leave without posting anything and then at times I find a flurry of activity, thoughts and ideas buzzing around, laughter abounding and a general feeling being loved and cherished. But it is those days of activities that leave great memories (the best thing being the posts are there, like photographs, a tangible reminder of the good times) and give hope that this period of silence and inactivity also pass.

Who knows maybe the next period of intense activity is just round the corner and suddenly IF becomes as addictive as before.😊

Best,

Nyna

I know what you mean Nyna and once upon a time I felt that too, especially in my first year. I was so new to this, so excited to try everything out, share my opinions, make friends and post my updates hoping to get more readers. Oh I was so addicted that I didn't want to miss out on anything. This is why you don't let me loose anywhere 😆

Second year was slower and I began recognising the toxicity that is present online and people's careless attitudes in hurting other people in some very horrid spats. I also recognised that sometimes your best isn't enough. I chose to take a back seat from it all and withdrew.

Third year has been an amble, trying to balance things and not let stuff get out of hand. I've met some wonderful people such as yourself but still certain themes continue to play through. Yet I still remain because I haven't finished my project that brought me here. I don't think that intense period of activity will return Nyna and every day the desire to leave remains. I take breaks as a result to refresh and renew but still nothing. Maybe I think it's my time to go. Maybe it's time to say good bye.

I will say IF is great when you take part in the right things and meet the right people otherwise you pretty much end up floating around like me. If you aren't a fan of a popular jodi/show, or you haven't really made much of an impression as a writer or editor or even as a member of a forum, you pretty much end up hanging around. That's how I describe what I do here, I just hang around posting stuff and occasionally socialise where I'm able. Sometimes you click with people and a group is created, sometimes you don't. In the end things happen and things don't but you do what you do. That's why when this thread lies empty for days I don't do anything. I hesitate to create threads any more and even this chat club I'm thinking was a silly idea. Maybe it is me. Maybe it is circumstances that all my endeavours end up with a similar fate. I don't know.

Anyhow, I will be doing what I do as I usually do. Others are welcome to join though they may find better places that are far more exciting and move at a faster pace. 😆
