Nostalgia, crushing me slowly
Bittersweet memories, but an unclear reflection.
Anyway, I went to draw on a public art canvas on magma.com. Magma is a popular web-based drawing application that allows for several people to draw on a canvas. It's also my primary drawing application! I do enjoy using it. The ads a bit annoying but I understand that the website needs an income.
Long, long ago I used to use this website with "friends" from school and people that I met on public canvases. That ended... quite awfully. Despite my foggy memory, I cannot forget the bittersweet pain that came in 9th grade on this website.
It's an awfully long story, I'll have to save it for another day. But in short: I did have some sort of friends that I met through the website. I doubt any remember me though.
It's such a strange thing. I know it happened, and I wrote it down in detail within my diary, but... the specifics are unclear. Too much happened. I know that. I was friends with people who drew with me during classes. A group of around 7-10 people that I met and enjoyed being with. There was stupid drama every week practically- yet I still was happy being there. I threw it all away at the end of 9th grade. I was unable to even draw on the site until later on in 10th grade.
Foggy memories aside, I went back today. I joined a public canvas, and started doodling my sona. I didn't expect much to happen. (especially not with my laptop lagging every 3 seconds) But, someone drew their character next to mine, and we ended up talking a little.
It felt so similar. Drawing with people on this website. There was no meaningless drama or fights this time. It only lasted for an hour before the person I was talking to left & I had to go to my next class anyway, but it brought me great happiness. One that I'll treasure.
thanks, lizzy!
