Remember me
Posted by myg
It’s a funny thing when you find that some of your miserable ways in the flesh find their way into your more perfect, less dimensional you. Yet that’s exactly what’s happened.
I wandered back into Topgol tonight, but just for a few minutes. I didn’t have much time but I felt pulled to be there again. It’d been weeks. I’d become the stranger, once and for all.
It felt good hitting the pavement, seeing the town from the street again. It was empty as usual. I wondered about my old friends. Sable, Romana, Esteban. Do they still meet on the corner and gab with the passersby like we once did?
It’s a funny thing to pull back from your life, no matter from which life you find yourself in retreat. It’s not like it’s the thing you planned to have happen. It’s not like you don’t question why it’s happened. But it’s not like you find yourself able to just jump back in where you left off. There’s a certain amount of starting over. And that’s a little intimidating, to be honest.
You’ve got to know it’s not that I found something better to do with my time. It’s not that I lost interest or moved on. It’s something else.
You’ve got to know that I still believe in the great digital expansion of consciousness and connectedness of our time. I still believe in the platform, though I wish it’d hurry up and get better enough not to cause me so much lag. I don’t miss the lag.
I still believe in the love and the friendships I found and I believe you can and will find friends and love and good times there that can be as real or as distant as you ever need them to be. That’s remarkable, if you think about it.
And I still believe I’ll be back.
Wow Myg - I hope you and Alex are doing OK. I definitely think of you both. I hope you’ll be back.

Topgol wasn’t empty as usual….I was there somewhere.
Sable <3 Myg
Everything changes and nothing changes. Know that you and Alex are missed by many. I’ll be here when you get back.
Good to hear from you, Mygs. We still believe in you, even when we can’t see you or hear you. That reminds me of something.
Esteban has been doing an amazing job holding the fort and dropping the funk.
Dear Myg
Totally miss you!
I do believe in our friendship,too.(if you remember me..^^)
I’ve been back to Topgol, and found large tracts replaced by a fugly Dutch shopping mall. And of course, “noone” was there.
It’s sad the way things go when you’re gone. Welcome back.
Funny you mention Topgol. This was my first home sim back in October of 2006. At that time it was mostly empty with plentiful land. Not soon after I moved in, a club owner set up shop and convinced me to sell. When I returned earlier this year (I had forgotten where my first sim was until I found the landmark to the club in my inventory), I saw that it had been turned into its current incarnation. It’s an interesting change, and one of the first mainland sims that I visited that had a consistent theme throughout.
