I'm a relatively new part of the infected community.
Yes, I've been infected all the way back in March of 2018.
But, I got lost and felt as if I didn't deserve to come back here.
Still, the forum remained bookmarked in my browser.
I was just that I had to wait for the right moment to come back, which happened to be one and a half years and one "Little Star" later.
I've changed, I've matured (re-reading my old posts was a bit cringy I mean my reasoning for Eli being female was that Lina had and I quote "boobs"
, not that I just watched "Let Me In" first and was estranged by the fact that she was in fact a he in the original), but most importantly I''ve returned.
I'm very glad I did, so many of you are artists, be it with words or pencil, the people here are truly beautiful.
And I have yet to read the fan fiction (don't worry @dongregg I haven't forgotten). God knows what hidden gems I will discover in those.
What I try to say is, that with every leaving infected, a new one will hopefully be joining. There is really no telling in what will happen next, maybe I infect someone.
This community isn't dead, the numbers may have declined, but this story impacted our lives and that will never fade, @JoBerg expressed this wonderfully.
