Nostalgia is killing me.
I've been watching some of Dream's newest vids. This is the first time I looked him up in actual years. I used to love his videos. They used to make me so happy. They're still good, don't get me wrong, the editing is amazing and the gameplay goes hard, but man, hearing that group talk and laugh together again pulls on my heartstrings.
I'm aware I'm just screaming into the void rn, most of my followers are inactive accounts atp, but dude, I miss the old times.
I don't regret being in this fandom, and I don't regret the community and friends I found through it. I met my best friend on here, of all places. And it's the best friendship I ever had, and probably will ever have. Can't wait to see you irl again brother, July cannot come quicker. Ik you're not gonna see this until I remind you that wattpad exists again but I'll text you later. You're the most important person in my life and it's crazy that it's indirectly Dream's fault that we met. Lysm Luke.
I learned English through the dsmp.
Or, at the very least, it was the start of me actually GETTING it. Since then, I graduated High School with honors in English and even got a certificate for my finals, as the best out of my grade.
That all started with me seeing clips of Dream's streams on my fyp. I'll forever be grateful for that.
Besides, even the more niche part of this fandom, the fanfiction part, genuinely changed my life.
I found my love for writing and storytelling, as well as my love for reading, because of you guys. Nowadays I read more paperbacks than fanfics, but this page was the beginning of that. Sometimes I look back on my old drafts that never left my notes app and grin at the progress I made over the years.
I'll probably choke on my own nostalgia someday. Miss these times.
I yearn to someday return to writing, for different fandoms this time. I love you all, and thank you for giving me this platform to express myself back in the day. It was awesome :) ♡
