You ever come back to this place...

And suddenly get sad? Sad about friends from the past that are no longer here? Sad about broken friendships that you've somehow lost along the way? Sad about memories left behind that you revisit as soon as you log in? For some reason, logging in tonight just hit a little different. ☹

Yes. I’ve been there. But you get over it. Move on to new experiences and new friends, and you never know when an old one will be rekindled. ;)

@Ambroseguy80 on my way!🙃
Ambroseguy80 · 56-60, M
@PerfectIllusion I’ll get the usual chains and shackles ready…
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@Ambroseguy80 that's one way to make a girl forget all her sorrows!😜
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
No, I guess not. I do love chatting here and have made a lot of friends along the way, but maybe I expect the friendships to be short term. Someone else comes to take their place and only the names change.
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@Jill1990 I guess having been a member here since day one in 2016, I've seen lots of people come and go. Lots of purple X in my inbox. Just makes ya sad for a minute.
Jill1990 · 31-35, F
@PerfectIllusion yeah, I understand what you mean.

Thanks to the floating heads banner adorning the top of the home page, I’m reminded of several connections that simply no longer exist. The emptiness echoing what was has been so deep here lately. Not fond of that at all but I try to focus on the smiles still waiting to be had here, otherwise I’d drown in nostalgia because it…the vibe, people, posts really were groovy once upon a time.
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@acupaday that banner punched me in the gut when I logged back in. I frantically searched for a way to remove it, to no avail. I literally despise it because it reminds of the good ol' days on this site. Now, I'm just disconnected and rarely socialize anymore. All these new names and only a few familiar ones.
Coppercoil · M
Oh definitely.. this place is haunted for me. All the ghosts of yesterday. I just want to go back in time and do things different for those I've lost one way or the other.
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@Coppercoil It can definitely be just an empty shell of memories from the past. Way back when, I was very active and had a lot of friends that I interacted with on a daily basis. Reading some old messages just stings.
Magenta · F
@Coppercoil Ditto. 🤗
SW-User
Yes that's happened to me ...but I've made some new friends too
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@SW-User I'm glad you made some new friends! I guess I don't hang around enough to try to make new ones.
SW-User
@PerfectIllusion it can be difficult at times too
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@SW-User I agree!
Yeah... I miss departed members - some passed away, some left never to return, some blocked me... and some I had to block.

Jeeze, some days I log in and I could cry at how empty my inbox is compared to how it used to be. At one point I could pick and choose who I spoke to and when... now I'm lucky to get a "Good morning" message from my man.

I reached out to someone who I used to talk to a few months ago... he hasn't been around in almost a year now. I miss my friend.
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@HootyTheNightOwl Yes! I understand all of this! I used to be a regular active member here but haven't contributed much lately. I decided to flip through my inbox and it just made me sad reminiscing. I'm sorry for the friends you have lost along the way also. Its definitely a different kind of feeling!
Livingwell · 61-69, M
Yes, I feel the same. A few remain close friends but many have left or don't respond. I miss chatting about family, hobbies, travel, etc. I don't know many of the new people here.
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@Livingwell I guess I just don't try to get to know anyone new. People seem to be disposable here nowadays. In the beginning, true friendships were formed and maintained. I hope you are well!
Livingwell · 61-69, M
@PerfectIllusion You are absolutely right. I still have a few friends but it's a fraction of what it was.
Viper · M
Sad for what you hoped could be, but isn't... yup... and it's suddenly sad on a deeper level, which is extra odd, because just moments ago you were on the surface layer, not a deeper level... it's strange, like you punch a wall and expect your knuckles to hurt, but for some reason your back is hurting more than your knuckles.
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@Viper its sad because you once were a small sliver of someone's life and now you're nothing at all.
Viper · M
@PerfectIllusion yeah, except you're still perfect, and that's not an illusion.

But yeah, I know what you mean, you feel like nothing :(
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@Viper Lol, I'm far from perfect and its still all an illusion for sure!😊
I disappear for whatever reason on here, and will come back seeing some have left. What worse is when you have great comverstations (you think) about whatever and they suddenly disappear. Those hurt a bit.
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@TallMtnMedic I know all too well about that!
@PerfectIllusion I wish we'd get a goodbye at least for closure. Such is life, i guess.
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
@PerfectIllusion So what do you think of Logan Marshall Green & Would You Do Him
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
@PerfectIllusion So what do you think of Alan Ritchson & Would You Do Him
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@JohnOinger Oh, he's a hottie! Good pick JohnnyO! I'll shall say yes!🤣
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
A little but I haven’t done much to sustain those relationships so it’s on me…I’m just a bit detached these days😕
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@Haniazed I understand. I'm much of the same. I hope things have gotten better for ya! 😊
@PerfectIllusion Meh…I can’t say that it is or isn’t😅 Just a bit numb lately but I’m trying to get my mojo back😉
Keepitsimple · 51-55, F
There are things I’d like to do over but if these people are gone and don’t keep in touch I think that says a lot about how relevant you were in their life.
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@Keepitsimple eh, I don't aim to be relevant in anyone's life on here. Been around long enough to know better. Its just sad seeing all of the people that have gone for one reason or another.
SW-User
Yes but for me it's sadness about lost love. Hits me hard sometimes here and I have to log out
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@SW-User I can relate to this. I had a very close friend here for 4 years and we recently parted ways. It's gut wrenching. Hugs to you!
SW-User
@PerfectIllusion ((hugs))
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@SW-User 🤗
PTCdresser57 · 61-69, M
Some of these that have left for 1 reason or another I miss immensely but that is how social media works. Wish they had a least sent me a message saying goodbye.
WhateverWorks · 36-40
I’m a chronic new user for that reason. I like a good clean slate. Not a huge fan of nostalgia..
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@WhateverWorks Yea, nostalgia is a double edge sword!
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
@PerfectIllusion So what do you think of Jason Momoa & Would You Do Him
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@JohnOinger Eh, he's cute but I'll pass. 😊
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
@PerfectIllusion So what do you think of Keanu Reeves & Would You Do Him
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@JohnOinger nah, another pass. I dont think he's aging well. 🤣
Quimliqer · 70-79, M
It brings the past to life 🤗🤗
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@Quimliqer and many past memories!
Quimliqer · 70-79, M
@PerfectIllusion Some happy, some with regrets. But we remember they are past and we cannot change a thing.
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@Quimliqer agreed! We can only move forward!
Livingwell · 61-69, M
Yes. I do feel this. I'm met many special people here. Got close to a few of them.
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
@PerfectIllusion So what do you think of Hugh Jackman & Would You Do Him
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@JohnOinger Nah, he's not my type. I'll pass.
Holdontothefire · 26-30, M
Honestly I'm here because that's how a lot of real life makes me feel.
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@Holdontothefire I can understand that!
They’re here.. they just got new profiles 😏
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout lmao! No doubt! You're probably right! They're still lurking around!
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
@PerfectIllusion So what do you think of Manuel Garcia Rulfo & Would You Do Him
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
So what do you think of Alexander Skarsgard & Would You Do Him
SW-User
Lots of times
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@SW-User Its kinda depressing.☹
SW-User
@PerfectIllusion I guess I don't think much about it so it doesn't affect me.. Not knowing anything is bad.
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@SW-User that's a good way to look at it!
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
So what do you think of Liam Neeson & Would You Do Him
SW-User
Exactly what I sometimes feel.
Well...there are others here... 😊
Pretzel · 61-69, M
glad you're back
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@Pretzel Thanks!
Magenta · F
Most definitely.
HeavenBesideYou · 56-60, F
Yes, a bunch.
PerfectIllusion · 46-50, F
@HeavenBesideYou Memories of the past can be sad. Friends that have come and gone over the last 5 years.
MrGoodbar · 51-55, M
