Of course. It is nothing new to find that I flock to the same places, but the sights do not change. It doesn't necessarily mean that I have given up on finding something new in what's already laid out before me because I see that with the many new faces popping up before my very eyes.
I had thought to myself only but yesterday or the day before that I wouldn't be able to recreate that feeling from back in the day where you could just *meet new people* where they'd actually want to interact like a friend would. That's not saying I'm mad. I'm just kind of disappointed how I've treated Gaia as such a fleeting concept. I didn't put in the effort to make a friend, or even keep it.
I've had these kinds of interactions on other sites like Discord and Twitch before where I felt like some of these people actually could be some of my greatest friends. (Note: if you do read this, I'm not supplying the details of these said sites unless I get comfy with you) I still hangout in a lot of the communities, and interact at least on the odd occasion, but I regretfully state that it's starting to dwindle again. I don't know if it's the fact that I'm not putting in enough effort, or if it's just easy to let the new guys come in and take my place. *shrug* Who knows. Sounds rather depressing, doesn't it? Heh.
I really rabbit holed on that last one. BACK ON TRACK WE GOOOOO. LOL
What I was trying to get across was that I'm starting to see how genuinely sweet the new wave of Gaians are. Maybe I'm just noticing the ones that I would actually like to chat with. Maybe I've grown up with the rest of them, and we're all finally connecting in a way that we can see that s**t is real, and life gets us right in the a**. All I know, is that I'm thankful for the interactions - AND NEW FRIENDS - that I've accumulated over just this past week.
I don't want to make Gaia the new addiction all over again, but it's happening FAST.
A couple more things to note before I shut down and be on my merry way... I'm getting a lot more surprised and excited about the new era of art I'm on. I kind of secretly hope that I can pull together some more money that I can drop on a higher end art program so that my friends don't have to "gift" them to me. (big stretch on gift.......)
By the by, here I am, and here's to more journaling. I'm having fun! <3
