Who remembers Myspace?A little while ago I checked it out and saw that it had been updated so, as is the customary way of doing things, I promptly dismissed it.

Anyway, a few hours ago I decided to go back on and see if anyone I knew was still in my friends list, along with checking out the MSN Messenger/Skype combo. Mainly to scour the contacts to see who I could add on Facebook. This follows on from returning to a forum I used to post on all the time.

Well, nostalgia sure didn’t make me feel good.
Apart from not being able to contact most of these people or locate the ones I tried to find on Facebook, I found myself suddenly missing the past. A lot had changed from the last time I was active on these services.

People were no longer there and there are many people I will be unable to talk with anymore. People that I had many a great conversation with that I suddenly found myself missing greatly. People that I still wanted to be involved with, regardless of how minor it was. It felt like coming back to a place you established roots in after a long time, only to find that others you had known had left and there was little you could do. But at the same time, I was the one that chose to leave and go elsewhere.
My feelings mostly ended up passing after a short period. I still feel a slight bit sad, but what am I to do? People have come and gone through my few years and it will continue to happen. It’s something I’m usually fine with. Maybe it’s because I was reminded of “the good old days”.

Sometimes it makes you sad, or nostalgic in silly ways. But life is a journey and it’s better to move on than risk becoming too attached to the past.

Besides, it’s the Internet.
