When DRRR first came around and started getting popular I was at the young age of 12. I went online and met fellow roleplayers that played the characters of Ikebukuro with me. We were a family of 4. We were linked together through a show that similarly combined the interactions of online and in person relationships. We had our own little "Ikebukuro" in our hands and could talk about anything and everything through the power of the internet on our phones.
Now I am 19 and I look back at the bittersweet past with this website. I still keep in touch with two of them, the 3rd one completely ghosted from the internet. I crave something like that family again, there's something special about forming close relationships with people that you've never met in person. Timezones meant that even if you were awake at 3am another could still be there to talk. Chatting online made it easier for us to talk about the hardships. In turn there was always someone who may not be next to you physically, but could wipe away your tears when you were alone in a bathroom through an illuminated screen.
Now I find myself lonelier than ever before, I stare at my screen now and it stares back blankly. I want the good days back. Back then, I did not feel so alone.
I feel the same I made lots of friends over the dollars but at some point we all moved on withour lives I still think of us as friends but the contact compared to what it used to be is so minimal
Your not alone, I have the same thing going, I still wish my old group would liven up again, but I’m doing my best for them, so now that’s why I’m here after finished watching all of durarara finally, I’ve got my muse back in being something amazing to those around me and to my group again, let’s make a new change in life together friend!
