this is comfy

~sph

I am new here, and a wave of nostalgia has just hit me while taking a tour of the place.

There is something very cozy to me when strangers like you and I are only identified by a nickname. No profile picture, no avatar, no tagline.

I grew up and socialised on IRC, and only knowing someone's nickname, wondering who they might be, where are they from, what is that nickname supposed to mean, somehow feels more personal and intimate than a picture and your real name.

I'm sph, this round's on me.

I've always been a fan of the quote, "Give someone a mask, they will reveal their true self". Sometimes I vibe with some anonymous poster a lot, and there is every reason to wonder who they are, how are they like in real life etc.

Thanks sph for this post. I'll take lemon tea.
