Anyway. Those past few years of online really taught me that I’d rather be considered naive and be heartbroken later than be a hater/skeptic who’s always right. I’ve been like that for most of my late teen years and a part of my adult life and like… who cares about being right if you’re a jerk about it lol.
(But I have also been prescient about a lot of things many times, not my fault if im actually goated sometimes)
And if I’m being honest, I’ll take being heartbroken and crying over the death of a website over being depressed and burnt out like I was circa 2018. At least I feel shit instead of the buzzing noise constantly like I did for a lot of my life. Who cares about being right if you feel like shit inside, you know?
EDIT: re-reading this I realize I'm saying the same thing twice, ah well. Proofreading has never been my strong suit lmao
Trying and failing means having the memory of failing and to be able to learn from it. To not try at all means to have not tried at all. Life is not about getting it right every single time. It's about finding, sharing, and enjoying new experiences.
But this isn't a try and a fail, either. This was an experience we all got to share, and though it may be coming to a close now, sooner than any of us would have wanted, we'll all have the memory of having once been together. That doesn't sound like 'being wrong' or 'failing' at all. That sounds like a good moment, a sweet note in the symphony of life, and that is all we can hope for. Nothing is permanent, but just because the sweet note is gone doesn't mean the symphony must end. There will be more joys in our future.
