This wave of adding content to Lucent took me to an old text file from a period of medication-induced depression in 2020. A period where I spent my days curled up in the farthest corner of my apartment, scared to death of what could be outside.

Guestbook Archives
Even though I tended to go scorched earth on my sites when I was butt hurt about something back in the day (ha), I still saved everything (thank GOD). One of the things I saved was backups of my guestbooks. I recall, in maybe 2012 or so, compiling them onto a spreadsheet and cleaning them up – and then not doing anything with them. Well, I came across that spreadsheet a few weeks ago, and thought it would be a cool time capsule.
It includes some “teen domain” era superstars, my IRL high school friends and classmates being total edge lords, my high school boyfriend being… my high school boyfriend, friends and relatives who have passed away, and even an entry from my husband two years before we actually met, haha. Finding that I still had all this made me so happy. It’s pretty priceless to my nostalgic ass, haha.
I really wish I didn’t stop having a guestbook. Comments and replies on my Livejournal, Blog, and eventually Facebook took their place, unfortunately.
