When you leave this place for the final time

@NewBeginnings7790 i agree you need to if you want you can message me

@NewBeginnings7790 ill miss you my darling <3

@NewBeginnings7790 I have too, and have taken extended breaks from time to time. I find that has helped me to reset and re-evaluate why I am here and how I can beta use this place, and not the other way around

@TryingtoLava how did I know that?

@Ghostinthemachine cuz your over 100 years old?

@TryingtoLava age is nothin but a number
Thinks of all the things I've seen over the years...

@dragonfly46 that’s some pretty wonderful stuff 😊

@SW-User Beatiful reply, if this was my post I would mark it best comment. I started writing on EP and later SW to immortalize my stories, in spite of knowing these websites don't last forever – then again, nothing does. I dreamt of becoming a writer for the same reason, even if those wouldn't be stories about me or my life, I always wanted to leave a piece of myself behind to find contentment in passing away, knowing that at least one person would read my words and think of me when I'm gone. It must sound terribly self-obsessed, but I've never been able to shake the fear of disappearing. I realize that we all have an impact on this world and those within it, and each of our existance shapes the future, even if in the most minuscule sense, but in my mind I'm terrified. This is ironically also why I ended up with two accounts, this one for meeting new people and simply chatting, and one – which I call my main lol – for telling my story, upload the drawings/paintings I make, which I actually like, as well as my thoughts on various topics like moral dilemmas. I have still not written anything for that account, and maybe that's good for me.

Humbly thanks you … your words and the meaning behind them truly touched my heart.

I understand every word you said …

Be not afraid to walk alone.

Keep the faith 🕊️@Blanchy

@SW-User @Blanchy I find as I get older I wonder about my legacy, what I left behind and how I will be remembered.
While I don’t have illusions of grandeur, I do hope Ive affected at least one person in a positive way, and that I leave this world even slightly better off for having being here

@AlchemyFox haters gonna hate

@Ghostinthemachine too bitter to be prey anyway

@AlchemyFox You don't strike me as someone who is gonna let that happen

@LilPrincess are you still seeing that someone, and if so, do they know you’re on SW?

@LilPrincess and you’re back here, so win-win

@WillaKissing those are impeccable qualities that anyone would be happy to have and be thought of that way

@Ghostinthemachine Thank you very much.

@smiler2012 you can’t please everyone all of the time. Not even politicians can, and they are trying their best too!

@Magenta you will slip quietly out the door and into the intraweb…

@Lilymoon but what will the friends and lovers say?

@Ghostinthemachine hopefully they'll miss me 🥺

@Lilymoon I'm sure they will, good people are appreciated here

@SilkenHippie the crumbs in the corner of your mouth suggest you did!

@SilkenHippie and I thought he was going nuts for the cookies! Little did I know down below…just out of camera range…

@LordShadowfire I admire your tenacity

@NativePortlander1970 that’s very touching and shows the positive impact you have made on people here, well done

@Ghostinthemachine Thank you

@HootyTheNightOwl I like your attitude 😆

@HootyTheNightOwl being selective with who you let in is wise, both here and in the real world

I’m sorry that happened to you
