My Gaia adventures

Well not really, an adventure but I guess you could call it that! I remember returning back to this site, last year? Probably mid-October. I thought to myself...
"I really miss Gaia Online, its a place where I met my best friends and nice people at." And with that sentiment, I peeked into this site desktop wise ( I gotten a laptop handed down to me ). It is so much different accessing Gaia Online with a computer. You see, I was just using their app, but I only ever dressed my avatar-peek into the forums. I never really posted anywhere.
Until now. I am not sure, if I can make new friends like I did in the past. I just miss having connections. I am always thankful for the near and dear friends I have now, even my besties. It's just, now that I work from home as a caregiver, I just want to be engaging more. To me, friendships are like a garden. You can never have too many flowers. And like flowers, got to tend to your garden, water what means most to you, and from there growth happens! I am thankful for many of the friendships in my life.
But for what its worth, I am proud of myself. I made some efforts, to find some neat threads on here. I am glad they are active too! Sometimes you find a thread, and then it becomes dead. I guess, people stopped using forums. Which is a shame. Forums are a great way to connect with others, and I love the nostalgic feel for it.
Social media, can be useful too. But half the time, its just observing people looking in. I think that's what social media became. Unlike, in the past where if you had Myspace or Facebook heck even a Twitter you would always be interacting with others. Looking forward to see what someone is up to, and mutually exchange comments. Its not like that anymore. It just became a place where you endlessly scroll. I know on Bluesky social it is a little more interactive. When I first gotten that platform, I started replying to people's post of relevance. And surprisingly people are nice there. I like how Discord can be a casual stand in, for texting because it has DM's. But its only appropriate to pass that type of social media out, when I feel like I vibed with someone enough.
Perhaps I am a sucker for Y2k stuff, and the nostalgia of connecting with others. But I cannot help it! I became a person that just wanted to connect. If that makes me lame then so be it, haha. __________________ ืืเซขเผเผเฟ โ โ โ . โ โ โ โโ โ . โ โ โห โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ โง. โ โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ โญ โ โ
