Upon realizing one has not been forgotten.

Since the pandemic and my withdrawal from much of the social activities I participated in, I have at times started to feel like a forgotten person. I spent a long time being a reasonably prominent voice in both the real and digital worlds, but am also aware that maintaining that kind of role means you can never slow down. And I have most certainly slowed down.

Over the weekend I quietly facilitated a nice thing on Threads while trying to remain in the background, only to discover my name mentioned numerous times by a wide variety of people as the Thread went a little viral (in a very positive sense). And I admit, it felt good. It reminded me that there is still a large group of people who do remember me, and seem to do so in a positive sense. 

I don't need to be talked about constantly or even frequently, but it's nice to know I'm remembered fondly. And apparently still have a little bit of pull, to this day.
