I am bidding farewell to this online persona after two years and a month of rather intensive use. For a not-so-polite name it has stood quite long, has it not? but I have already had the thought of changing it for quite a long time.

I have uprooted my identity and self, to move to a new land where I can start anew. The people around me will not change, but I will, and for me, that is enough. I can change how I appear to you, and I can change how you appear to me.

There are memories. Love letters, angry messages, falling pearls. I thank all of you who have made these two years what they are, but I have many more ahead of me and Time will draw a glossy sheen over these memories to immortalise them.

Deciding has been hard. I will erase as many traces of my old persona as I can get hold of. I have started, I shall not stop.

It is easy to destroy the past, but not so to forget it. What have I to lose?

Love,

P.S. To all those who have commented in this journal over this period of time, I'm extremely sorry. I deleted everything: posts, comments and tags--this is the only morsel left.
