Hey everyone, I did a thing today. A few months ago I lost someone really important to me. They didn't die or anything but it sure felt like they did, and they're effectively dead because we have no means of contact anymore, but it still hurts all the same. I finally took all of my memories and boxed them up by making a time capsule. You can check it out
here and there's a link to a post in that gallery that gives some more context. It's a big read though so I won't clutter this post up with any more than I already have. I actually started coming here frequently because of what happened and I wanted to make sure that at least someone else didn't have to feel as crummy as I did.
Anyways, it turned out to be a pretty good idea and I feel better having done it, even if I'm a little late. I'd like to encourage anyone out there going through something similar or who just has things they'd like to remember or even just externalize to make something like I did. It's pretty therapeutic actually.
