Hey everyone!
I was feeling nostalgic and couldn't sleep, so of course I'm trawling around the NTWF trying to find years-old poetry to toss into random contests.
I really AM zombie staff, huh! I joined back in January of 2011 after frequenting the Neoboards for probably a year or so before that. So like...almost a decade now? I don't even know who's still here anymore!
So much has changed. I've changed. Not a whole lot; I'm still that weird mixture of bubbly and chatty and sleepy and flighty. I think I've just matured. I'd hope so; I'm going to be 26 in March. I was probably 17 when I first got in with the NTWF. I'm probably repeating myself, but it's just so crazy how time passes.
I've got my own apartment. I'm still in school (chronic illnesses DON'T change, lol) but plugging away for a master's in English now, minoring in psych & Spanish, planning on all my webseries and podcasts and multimedia projects for when I'm financially stabler and healthier, baby-stepping it, totally ignoring grammar because it's my post and it's 2 AM and i'm sentimental shut up. I've gone through so much-- even these past two or three years have been more than I can even describe in terms of difficulty. I've lost people. There's been trauma. Familial dysfunction. Tragedy. Disabilities. Marginalization. Name it and I've probably gone through it personally or secondarily. And it feels like a lot for someone so young! And it probably is.
My point is that I owe so much of my resilience, my value in my creative skill, and honesty just my life to this forum. I've kept in and out of touch with different members over the years, but there's at least one of the old crew I talk to every day and is one of my oldest, closest friends. Us being together wouldn't have happened without the NTWF. And not just the member in question; I'm mutuals with quite a bit of the vets over on Twitter and Discord, and even if it's just a random like every few days, or a conversation once in a blue moon, I'm blessed to have the friends I met here in my life.
I really just want to say thanks. I have to be honest and say that since so much time has passed, I'll almost certainly never be active on the forum proper again, but I'm supertaylormoon on most social medias if you're old/remember me/would like to follow me!
And to all current members I haven't met, hi. I'm Taylor. I'll always be Robyn on here, because I can't extricate that name from this part of my life (I'm planning on naming my first kid Robyn for sure though!!), but I just want you to know that you're in a good place here. The NTWF did so much for me, and I hope that it continues to do the same for you too.
Love you all, always. <3
