Apologies if this could be against rule 1. I don’t think so personally but feel free to remove if mod thinks so.

So, I lost my friend. He was a good friend and knew levels of me really well that possibly nobody does. But this is not a mourning post.

Aside from the tragedy, it’s dull (as insensitive as this might sound). Looking and finding new contacts is a huge challenge filled with a lot of setbacks. Lots of work, I am certain most of you will understand.

So life just got a lot duller.

Edit: thank you for the empathy.

Edit: apologies if I am not thanking everyone separately, I do read all of them. It is very supportive and heartwarming and possibly one of the best moments in responses for me since the beginning of the public internet (not exaggerating, I do remember)

      I love weird folks!

      Sharing is fine, but my memories work differently. It’s like, I’m the worst person to ever really acknowledge what someone was like.

      I know and have memories but could never describe the complexity. I hear it’s a common neurodiverse trait not being able to describe what’s going on in yourself, even regarding memories.

      Anyhow, he was the one person with which I had an understanding of complex topics with few words. We were on a similar level.

      But I will think about specific memories. I think something will rise up.
