...i'm still here. it's almost been a year. a complete year since i grew distant, almost a year since i posted the callout that nobody believed, almost a year since i told you i was done. i still care. it hurts that i care. i don't know why i do. i know what he did was bad. i know better than anyone. so why do i still check his profile? why do i still think about him sometimes? why do i refuse to go to the chain he doesn't even work at anymore? it's almost been a year, and i still don't know what i'm doing. i miss being happy. i'm happy now, and i have amazing friends, but i /had/ amazing friends. i miss them. i miss our friend group. now almost all of us are gone. but i'm still here. even though it looks like i'm not, here i am, lurking where you can't see me... i'm the therian from the east coast. and i'm proud to say it. i'm proud of my past, and what i endured. september 3rd, 2023.
