Is it odd to develop an emotional attachment to a website, avatars, things that technically don't exist? I have an emotional attachment to Gaia that will not leave me alone. Many memories linger here. It feels like someone has stabbed me in the chest the more things around here change. The only reason I ever stopped getting on Gaia as much was because I started playing World of Warcraft which consumed a lot of my time. Slowly, I started forgetting to log on to Gaia until I stopped altogether. I miss the people whom I used to talk to daily. They're still around on Myspace and Facebook, but some of them don't seem to care much about my face. Now, don't think that I just get on here to stalk people .... but since 2006, I have been post stalking one specific user. Her art always fascinated me, so I would constantly look at her profile and posts to keep myself up to date on her artwork. I know none-creepy people would just stalk the individual's shop, but she rarely opened one nor could I afford her work. This morning, I checked her shop (she finally opened one for a while there) and it turns out that she has temporarily quit Gaia due to real life problems. In my six years of worship, I have never thought she would. Unfortunately, like most things, nothing lasts forever. It saddened me a little to see this news, and made me think about all the other people and things that have died here. This is what happens when people get emotionally attached to the stupidest things. Looking up to this individual has accomplished nothing in my life except for more wasted time. *sigh*
