See, that's what memories are. That's what they're there for. They're not dependent on the environment they happened in, because they exist in the minds and hearts of the people they happened to.

I know all of the people who used myOtaku have biblical storehouses worth of memories from their sites there. I wouldn't expect them not to, and I would be very surprised if only a select few had made memories at all. Memories happen to the people around, and if you're around, then guess what? You got yourself some good times.

But no one is asking you to leave memories behind. Honestly, that's physically impossible.

What you are being asked is to take this new opportunity to make new ones. The memories you had at myOtaku will never leave you. You're always gonna have them. But if you never take the time to explore the new town, and spend all your time wishing you could just have things back the way they were, then you're guaranteed to miss out of so much more than you had.

And though I know I'm preaching to the choir with this statement, I'm saying it anyway: change will happen, whether you want it to or not. Don't be the ninety-year-old blue-haired Southern Baptist ancient who sits in the exact same spot in the fourth pew, just inside from the right aisle, always talking about how things used to be. Don't forget them, either, but don't let yourself be so emotionally tied down by them that you get stuck in Nostalgia.

Get out and explore the new town. Ask questions, meet new people, find the ways you can meet new people, make more buddies, beat the system, draw graffiti all over the eCards gallery.

Make new friends, but keep the old.
One is Silver, and the other, Gold.
