HiveComb

It's been a very long time...

There are moments in life spent lingering, paralyzed before a dusty crossroads. The air is still and quiet. An earthen smell fills your nostrils. The land around looks desolate, and the traveler is alone - confronted by the visage of decision.

Beyond the entangled pathways lies a vast desert, devoid of all other life. It has always been lonely here, for nomadic lands are the traveled scapes of the mind.

A mind...

...is a place where no other on earth can truly join you.

It is a stage on which there are no actors, just an endless journey amongst an endless stream of passing mirages. We seek answers in a land of chaos, and the changes we make outside the walls begin with the dainty morsels of truth we discover along the way.

When we stumble upon that truth, a new image is displayed before us. It is that moment we are faced with a new crossing of paths.

"Should I choose this path... Or that?"

That place is where I have found myself at many moments over the last few months. The crossroads may seem simple - or even trivial to some.

To me...

...it means a great deal more than that.

The question - the choice which I have been faced with - is this...

"To post, or not to post?"

It seems like a simple question, granted. However, for me it is not so simple. Posting in this community, the love and support I received here, has helped me and my soon to be wife in innumerable ways.

The reality is, I feel bad that I haven't given enough back. I haven't even come close...

I basically dropped off the face of the earth sometime just before the hardfork to Hive. The longer that I spent away, the more remorse I felt for not engaging with my new and talented friends.

The guilt amassed until it seemed to cripple my ability to reach out. I would open the platform, look at it, and think of my friends. I felt like I let them down and the mirage of the crossroads would flash into my mind. It was vague at first, but it grew in strength until the day I could no longer ignore it.

That day... is today...

...and I have made my choice, because...

I miss you...
