Hey everyone,
It's Rosim, been a while.
I haven't been here in forever, I'm grateful for people sharing their experiences and where they are in life now post the PPN++ era.
The people who remember me probably just remember my exaggerated mannerisms haha, I didn't fully realize it at the time but now looking back at it, I had quite a persona lol
I'll be 29 soon, crazy how quickly time flies by.
I've had a relationship for a while, followed by a tough breakup which got me into a 5-year period during which I pretty much convinced myself I was "undateable".
But then I met my current girlfriend a year ago, and we've been having a really nice long-distance relationship. She's pursuing her studies in Europe and I will likely be meeting her halfway in a year if everything goes well.
Job-wise I have been struggling a lot, not because of my workplace but because I have a lot of difficulty focusing and learning, and it's affected my productivity a lot. On Monday my doctor prescribed a prolonged work absence for burnout, which I think might help me get back on track, but at the same time makes me feel like I failed.
So overall I would say I'm not yet where I belong, but I continue working on it, and I feel very grateful to have a strong support system with my family, my girlfriend and my friends.
Oh, and I have a pet snake, so that's cool
I am very happy to have been part of this community, you guys have taught me a lot and I grew a lot as a person during these years over the different websites.
I made more than my share of mistakes, but people have always been very welcoming and kind to me and it really had a meaningful impact on my life.
My teenage years were very lonely because I was hiding from social interactions and convincing myself that everyone hated my guts lol, but this community was the safe place that I kept coming back to because I had a family with you guys.
I won't join the Discord, nor probably read the replies (in a few years maybe) but to anyone reading this, thank you <3 Thanks for the care, for the happy memories, thanks for your forgiveness, thanks for your presence, at a time in my life when I needed it.
Stay safe everyone!
