So for the passed however many years, all I've done is show up to submit something, not even "poking my head in." I'd use the "life got crazy as hell" excuse, but that'd be cliché. I've become so detached from these sites I'm on, my presence has become basically mechanical, lacking emotion or interaction. I feel like I should invest more into being a member, maybe even talk to someone for a change! My laziness could be considered selfish. All I've done is come to post my own stuff, neglecting the thousands of messages piling up. I'd like to make an apology to the people I watch. I've completely ignored you all for so long, you don't deserve that. You work hard, and deserve the attention that is due. Your work is worth my time- however limited it may be. If you're someone I watch and happen to see this, I hope you'll accept this apology. I want to be a living person again. I'm tired of being a mindless submission-bot. I don't want to feel like an outsider anymore, I want to feel like I'm part of this community again.
