It’s been almost 10 whole years since this place last had a pulse. I was 15 and going through one of the worst times of my life, but for the 4 months that this place lived, it breathed. I remember checking this board incredibly frequently, excited to talk to the people here. And now it lays here, utterly forgotten. Reading back some of the shit I wrote made me cringe, but it also made me smile to see my past self having so much fun. I don’t know why I suddenly remembered this place at 7:30 pm on a Monday in 2022, but seeing other guests on here as I write this makes me wonder if I’m not the only one feeling nostalgic. Does anyone who used to post here still think about this board and the people they met here? I’m pretty sure I’m just writing this for it to get posted into the ether and lost, but just in case it doesn’t and one of you randomly remember this place too at some point in the future…
I cherish the cringy ass memories I have RPing here. I haven’t thought about Hetalia since like, 2014, but I’m still happy I responded to that random message I got that day in April of 2012 and joined this board. This place is dead, hell it only barely lived, but for the short span that it did, it made me so fucking happy.
So in case someone happens on this message, even if I didn’t really RP with you much, I want you guys to know the current me appreciates the comfort you gave 15 year old me. Having something to look forward to back then is what kept me going, and as such is sort of the reason I’m still here. It isn’t a stretch in my mind to say that if this place hadn’t existed, I would’ve killed myself at 15 and wouldn’t be here writing this. Life hasn’t gotten easier, but I’m still here, and I hope you all are too. Maybe not here as in ‘looking at this board wistfully like a cheesy motherfucker out of nowhere almost a decade later’, but here as in ‘alive’. It’s funny how the tiniest, most seemingly insignificant things can leave such massive impressions on us.
So thank you, everyone. Particularly 2 of you, Maddie and Roomie. I may have lost track of you years ago, but I haven’t forgotten you guys, and I hope you’re thriving. Reading back our RPs on here has made me so thankful to have known you when I did.
And to anyone who comes across this not having been a part of this back in 2012 and having no clue what this all was about… 2 things: 1) I’m sorry this message is so cheesy, and 2) please remember I was in grade 10 when I wrote my messages! I’ve grown up, and my writing is so much better now!
Love,
