User blog comment:Jeremiah Garland/The Beauty of Solitude: A Tribute to the Site/@comment-2040576-20151019100124

Guv, you really drove the point home here. And it hit hard. This site fueled my escapism for the longest time, and the only reason I became inactive was because I became so busy - which, in a way, also helped me escape and thus allowed me to become less dependent on the site, sad as that may be.

I also started university this year and am having the time of my life bu at the same time, I sometimes feel terribly alone and unsure. I consider myself an ambivert, in that I can be both introverted and extroverted, but I definitely lean towards introversion. My extroverted nature is limited to certain contexts and with certain people.

Anyway, I could go on and on, but I have to get to class, so I will just say this: I am extremely grateful for this community and how it helped me cope at some of the tougher stages of my life.

Also, Garland, I would like to get back into contact with you, as I am also a first year and from what I have heard from you we are having similar experiences in many aspects. Hit me up, yo.
