I like to pop on every now and again mostly for the nostalgia hit!
Hope everyone is doing ok.

There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.
Has anyone heard from Katie (stellata) that used to be popular on these boards? I know she was older and didn't have social media or anything like that.
I've not been here in years, occasionally I'll pop on and lurk just to see what's going on.
I just had a look through all my old posts and feel sad for past me. I'm doing so much better now, I'm working in an office job which I enjoy, I met someone just over seven years ago who is wonderful and would do anything to make me happy, and I've got help for my mental health stuff so I can deal with things a lot better now. I've also started studying for an English Language degree, which I've wanted to do for years and I've been really enjoying it so far.
It's so nice to see some people I recognise from the old days and to see how everyone is getting on ��

I'm not sure if I recognise you. You might have been here when my psych told me to have a break from RYL. I just wanted to say I'm glad that things are going well for you.
I put it down on paper and then the ghost does not ache so much.
Don't try to calm the storm, calm yourself, the storm will pass.
I also pop on here from time to time. My old username was Tanya_B, not sure if anyone’s still around that remembers me. I was a heavy poster 2005-2009, which feels like a lifetime ago! I look back on RYL with such intense thankful nostalgia. It really was a community that got me through some horrendously difficult times, and has led to real life friendships that have continued to this day. Particularly Kirsty/Just.Believe, who I ended up living with when I moved to a new city in 2014 and is the BEST travel companion for all of our random getaway trips. I still struggle significantly with my mental health (who doesn’t??) but I have a partner, wonderful friends and a beautiful son. I am here, and when I started visiting this website I was doubtful I would even see this age. The journey isn’t without bumps, but this website really was a saviour at that point in my life. I hope any new people who join can get the same comfort and security I found during my time here.
There’s so many people I lost touch with, but they hold such a special place in my heart. If anyone has heard from Aimee/Craola, I’d love to know how she was doing. ♥️
Wow lots of faces I remember. Where have the last 20yrs gone? I can't believe I met my ex on here and our kids are nearly 15 and 13 now. And yes, they are epic reminders of teenagerdom and I'm sorry to my parents. They always warned me to "just wait til you have kids". Hormonal messes that they are 😂
Hope everyone is good now the festivities are packed away and back to a routine.

I think I vaguely remember you, I recognised your signature, it's still one of my favourite blogs
Thank you, I hope things are going better for you now
Just popping in to say hello again.
F is now 12 (possibly was the last time I updated!) and is at secondary school and excelling herself.
And me? Well I’m just me and when I think things are going up they go down again haha.
I'm glad F is doing well and I hope you have more good days than bad.
