I can't remember the last time I logged into this account; it's been well over a decade. I really felt the need to comment on this YTMND.

The time I was most active on YTMND was at this point about half my lifetime ago. That fills me with a certain kind of melancholy I don't really have the time or luxury to really contemplate these days. Even if I'm not 'old' or even middle-aged, I'm no longer young, and I think about all the things I used to have and how much of it is gone. I think about good friends I lost contact with, ex-girlfriends, family I no longer see, fun moments from my past, my old hopes and aspirations, how free and full of opportunity life felt, and how easy it was to remain hopeful about the future compared to now. I really don't want to talk about my personal situation too much, but I've spent the last few years really struggling to come to terms with how things, both in my life and in the wider world, have changed. I stopped moving forward.

Crazy as it may be, I think seeing this YTMND has given me a little nudge, however slight it may be, in the direction of finally accepting things change and starting to move on with my life. I never thought I'd be having a deeply emotional experience like this on YTMND, of all places.

But thank you for making this, I really liked seeing it.
