I think I would have to create a completely new DA account. I see so many old names, old friends, and it didn't hit me as hard as it did until I found one that had passed away. So many folks have deactivated, I don't think I will mine. But a restart with a simple link to this page may do me good, because I don't have a heart to truly delete anything. Or rename this account and shift everything into boxes? Would the memories so close be worth it?
It's a bit of a wrench when you aren't expecting the actual loss of a friend. When they deactivate, it is simply 'oh they moved on.' You can trick yourself into thinking, they've moved onto something greater! I'm so proud! Keep going baby I know you're doing good!
But, woah.
I think it's hilarious how my typing/chatspeak still remains the same, despite my actions and choices being so different.
Still smashing the keyboard.
