    I share this experience with you. It is really weird. When I was a kid, I was chatting in Yahoo chatrooms and posting on forums and I really don’t think anyone cared what I had to say back then. These days, I can have real conversations but am too timid to do so!

      I feel like as kids we’re just so passionate about what’s on our minds. We’re still reckless and impulsive and less caring about what others think. When we grow up and understand the world a little better, we realize it’s not so nice of a place we thought previously, and there’s a lot of jerks around :( I hope we can find that childlike wonder of simply engaging with someone fascinating again.

        The Pokemon rooms on Yahoo! chat were my jam! I played a LOT of Age of Empires as a child but I don’t think I ever knew there was a forum for it.

        For what it is worth, I have enjoyed this small exchange!
