Much has changed over the years, as some of you have seen for yourselves. Many have come and gone. Many have returned remembering this world, while others have returned remembering and knowing nothing.

Next month will mark the third year in which I have taken up residence here. I wouldn't call myself stuck, not particularly, though I know there might be some who would disagree.

So then here is a question for everyone: how long have you been residing here? What have you done or accomplished during your stay? What will you do next?

For me, I believe it is time to obtain some form of official license with piloting. Among other things.

That's quite the jump. Do you miss it? Your dimension of origin.

[dragony]

Hmm.

There are things I miss, and I miss some of my friends, but I don't think I miss the world itself. I didn't understand it that well, back then, but it wasn't a very kind place to most people.

I wouldn't ever choose to go back.

[articulations]

That's unfortunately. I'm sorry to hear that.

[dragony]

Why? What are you sorry to hear?

[articulations]

That the place you might have considered as your home, where your friends are, it was unkind.

[dragony]

From the way most people talk, I wouldn't say a kind 'world' of origin is all that common. People are the same everywhere.

[articulations]

No, I can't disagree with that. Unfortunately.

[dragony]

It is unfortunate.

Even if the worlds are unkind, most people can help make up for it. It may have been a long time since I've seen the place I once knew, all that time has been with people I would never have met, otherwise. I wouldn't trade what I have now for anything, or anyone.

So, it's not all bad.

[articulations]

That's a good outlook to have. Leave the past in the past.
