One year ago today, I arrived in this world. One year ago today, I shared a fateful drink in De Chima with the man who would become the love of my life. One year ago, there were different faces in this world -- different people to greet me upon my arrival, but many are and have remained the same.
[ Raina smiles a sappy smile. She is genuinely happy for the experiences she's had here and people she's met. ]
There have been a lot of ups and downs, especially as of the past few months. But I would be lying if I said that being in this world hasn't been a largely positive experience for me. And while it's sad to think all of it can be gone and forgotten faster than we can blink, that just means we should try to appreciate what we do have here all the more, doesn't it?
[ She leans forward, warm and inviting. ]
So I'd like to hear about your positive experiences. What are some of the best things that have happened to you here? What opportunities have arisen for you here that you would not have gotten back home? What friends did you make that you never would have met otherwise? And for people who have ported in recently, what opportunities do you hope this world will bring you?
We're so focused on the bad things or getting back home to our responsibilities or the people who aren't here that we often neglect to stop and appreciate the little things. Even if it's something as simple as getting to taste strawberry ice cream for the first time. So let's take a moment to share our experiences with each other.
[ A pause. ]
Also while I have you here -- a few months ago I was speaking to a friend of mine and we were talking about how it's possible to port out and return without memories of ever having been in this world. I brought up the idea of writing a letter to ourselves detailing our time here and he proposed that we try to see if the government would include those in the files we're given upon our arrival. If people overall think it's a good idea, I can talk to a few representatives to see if it can be done. I just know that there are people and things here that I would not want to forget, and I'm sure a lot of people feel the same.
And I think that's about all I have to say. I look forward to hearing your stories. Even if we can't have our letters included in our files, maybe this post could serve as a little something for our future selves to look back on and see how happy we once were if ever there's a time when that is forgotten.

Well, I suppose not. No. It is the most delicious of ice creams.

Let's go out for milkshakes sometime and then I'll tell you my good stories. How does that sound?
no subject
I think that sounds like a lovely plan. If you can find a place that serves them with almond milk, all the better!

How have you been lately?

Ah, I could be worse! How have you been?

Though I'm starting to wonder if it's possible to make a single network post without people jumping on me to tell me my ideas are horrible.

But the maturity levels on other social media platforms that are open to the non-imPort community can be a bit staggering. But their critiques just make you both all the more popular.
