It’s hard to think that I was around 11 when I joined this website. To think of the person that I was then, compared to the person I am now… well, it goes to show the fluidity of life. It’s been six years since I’ve last logged in (Kongregate says the last time I played a game was May 3, 2014 12:00AM), and longer since I actively considered myself part of a community here, but some things just don’t leave you, I guess. The Red Bucket gave me quite the sense of community, young as I was, even for an idiot like me. It humbles me to think that it’s been almost ten years since Vallin passed, given that at the time I don’t think I really fully comprehended the loss. But to log in and see, even with the old chatroom gone, that some of the familiar faces from those ancient times still frequent this website and have gone great lengths and wonderful places in their lives… It’s a strange feeling, indeed. So similar, and yet, so very different. I suppose, ultimately, that I am simply grateful for the experiences and times I had and that I hope that everyone from such times, including myself, can eventually find a place of peace in their life.
