Wow ... I haven't been here in forever. Is anyone still out there? It's kind of crazy, I have so many memories with this site, of people I came to know, and then even more people I stopped knowing. It's kind of bittersweet seeing my profile now.
I remember being fifteen and staying up late binge-reading BL, feeling all types of emotions for the first time. As a young gay man, there's not a lot of media I felt like I could turn to that showed ... Not necessarily how my life was, but rather how I felt, how I loved. There were so many BL on here with intense emotions that resonated really deeply with me. My favorite types of stories were always with just two boys nearing the end of their youth who were bored out of their minds and found a way to enjoy life again together. I always saw myself in that.
I went to see if there were stories I remembered that were still on the site. There are. There are also many that I remember that aren't here anymore either. All-in-all, this website almost feels like a time capsule of my teen years. I turned 20 just a few days ago, and I just ... I don't know, remembered this. Remembered the stories I stayed up all night to read, the now-lost friends I'd talk to every day. While I don't really use this site anymore, it's still a favorite. It'll always be a favorite. My profile will probably stay up forever just for the value of the memories it holds, and I'll cherish everything here for as long as I live. I don't think I'll ever forget this
