A Moment's Respite · 11:44pm Oct 15th, 2014
Today, my attention was drawn back to the site by someone directing me to this site post http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/389115/reviews-round-54. I took a peek and found this story http://www.fimfiction.net/story/100404/daily chilling in one of the slots. I was pleasantly surprised, of course, as my instinctual thought was that it was something else entirely.
However, then I decided to go back to it and read it again, as I had actually forgotten most of the story. On my way back through the story, what immediately struck me was that I didn't instinctively recognize it as my own story, as is usually the case. As I went farther and farther through it, though, going down the familiar paths, I began to notice little things here and there that were most definitely my doing. It reminded me of who I was so long ago and what kinds of things I did back then. I realized by the end of the story that in a way, I had become my own character. Aside from the name, I had been living much like Teddy for the past year and a half.
Even though I don't see a change such as his in my future, it's made me look back on everything that has happened since then. I made friends, went to classes, and took exams all while slowly growing more and more distant from things that I had sworn by in the past, like writing. I went through dreary routine over and over again, stared holes into notes, and lost my mother. I spent an entire summer doing practically nothing. I wasted a chance encounter with someone that I hadn't seen in over a year and moved through life, not really considering how much time was going by or what I may end up missing in passing.
That is, of course, until something broke my own routine. I had a little deviation today, and even if I simply go back to my everyday life, I hope that this moment will at least be a beacon in the darkness that I can maybe revisit in the future. It truly is a pleasure to have written stories and spent time with everyone here, and I feel that I may have forgotten that until now.
So, until next time, this is Lime, signing off.
I'm curious as to what that thought was
I have missed you and your works, and hope that beacon does guide you back here from time to time!

I dunno, something entirely different and potentially bad. It was just a general feeling.
