Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Here's another one!

Here's another one!

*watches as CBers fall from the sky* Beautiful. 

Hullo everybuggy. I hung around here from January of 2016 to January 2017, going by the name The Novelist (I didn't understand how internet usernames worked back then) to just Novelist, and then finally Nova. To express my nostalgia as well as change, I decided to finally settle on the name Nov. I had one AE and one captcha pet while I was here, but I wasn't very invested that sort of stuff. I don't plan on bringing them back unless some masochistic soul gets on their knees and begs me.

I can't believe how quickly three years flew by and what has happened in that timeframe. I'm sixteen now, and I've been online more and met lots of different people. It made me grow drastically, and I changed for the better as well as the worst. I've also been questioning my identity as well as struggling with depression. I kind of abandoned writing and my new hobby (eh, more like euphoria) is gaming. I still love reading though, and I've finally decided that my favorite genre is science fiction.

But anyway, I can't wait to meet some oldies and newbies. Cheers to the famed 2019 Valentine's Day reunion!

*tips hat to the admins/mods* I hope you three are doing well too. Thank you for your service; you've kept this place a safe, warm community.

NOV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed you, and really good to see you! Yeah, three years do feel so quick, and sometimes so slow. The CB gave me so many good memories. Your struggles sound difficult, though know we're here on the CB if you ever need to talk, plus your other online friends are probably there for you too. I haven't dealt with depression personally  (identity though? yepppp. idk if we're specifically talking about the same identity) but a lot of my close friends have had issues with depression or anxiety, so I have some idea where you're coming from. Having a support system and resources helps. Also as a fellow CBer I'm telling you you're amazing :) That's cool you got into got into gaming, which ones do you like? Also, what are some good books you read recently? Some good ones I've read: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (realistic fic, romance, lgbt), Daughter of the Burning City (really creative fantasy book, pleasant surprise), Milk & Honey (I hadn't read a poetry book in a looong time), and On a Sunbeam (graphic novel by Tillie Walden who also wrote Spinning)
