I appreciate this post, Christmas, as well as your perpetual cheerful spirit. it's nice to see so many familiar faces, and to share a similar feeling of home for this place with so many people.
my last real posts were 2016 that I can see, and I've lived several lifetimes over since then, as I'm sure we all have. I've lived in seven different states now; currently in Missouri, and will be going back to Oregon in about five months. I have two troublemaking black panther kitties and one Plott hound, a decent job that I hope will stay steady through a recession, a physical disability from a car crash last year that came with an appreciation for life I didn't have when I was younger after surviving some wild trout. I stream, do some hobbyist photography, and have developed a passion for baking and cooking. I wish I could confidently say that I write, but I only really do that once in a while. no children, property, or marriage, though I have come close a couple of times. I will probably end up as a homesteading spinster in Alaska if everything goes according to plan.
this year I have found myself revisiting many things from long ago that bring me comfort - books, games, movies, and it makes sense that I would have found my way back to this place that was such a big part of my life for so long. I recently found the EoFF discord and was pretty happy to reconnect with people over there. I will try to find some threads that I can think of that I appreciated for nostalgia; I remember the Positive Life thread being pretty great being able to witness everyone's wins.
I hope you are all doing well and living your best lives. glad to see this place is still here after all this time.
