Time does strange things when it's spent here. It's difficult to describe. Three years both feels like a long time but flew by, all at once.
It's difficult to stay on top of your game here. I've taken a few breaks over the years due to life and burnout. These people have been nothing but awesome to me, for years. They've been right there, waiting for me to return, every time. Some others take time away and come back to nothing. That's the big fear as well. Starting over.
We're pioneers. Lived through the wild west days. Now I hope this place can get organized and we can advance into that industrial age stuff, without all the smoke.
I don't try to stay on top of anything , or game and find it actually works better that way..... imho, same on the hopes but no clue
