It's (almost) an emotional experience to go through my private messages and read my history/footprint on people. I'm curious to know if some of you guys out there are sharing this feeling from retracing some of the messages that people have directed solely toward you.
My very first PM is of an angry tone and sent by Izzabella, discussing a matter where I humiliated some of her guildmates from the Outlaws in public as a reaction to earlier behavior of theirs. Obviously, she didn't like me. Heck, I wouldn't have liked me. As I keep reading through my PMs and traveling further into the future, I see more PMs from her telling me that she "values my opinion" and was generally saying she missed me. This struck a chord in me: I built relations with people in this community that I had forgotten I'd even built, both good and bad, and many of those grew. I've been having horrible memory lapses lately, and these are really opening up huge chunks of time spent simply conversing with others who are no longer around, but that I wish I could talk to again, just because those relationships were there at one point.
Anyway, to make it a thread... am I the only one who can trace history in such a way? My PMs actually tell a story, and it's really fascinating to me.
