I got tired of the online persona I put on up to a certain point, so I've deleted my Reddit account - Reddit being the place to socialize for me back then - with a different nickname - the one I've been using to sign a lot of stuff online. Then I realized that I'd rather be on Reddit than not, not so much for socializing but for promoting the fanfic series I've been writing at the time. I figured that if I'd become Reddit-famous, it'd be for the stories in which I had great trust. Hence, the nickname. Come to think about it, I quite enjoy it. It's unassuming and I'm not as connected to it emotionally as I was to the previous one. The last one, I poured my soul into, and since I don't care so much for the new one, I do much better with it. Like a second wife: you love your first more than life, but you only learn to live with another person by the second. I guess it was the tabula rasa that I needed, personality-wise.
