It's time
I’ve been sitting at my computer for the last few hours thinking of something to write. Normally an idea would just come to me, but for the last couple of months it’s become increasing difficult to write anything. I have ideas and stories, but they just don’t seem to suit the Downunderpants theme. In the back of my mind the idea of ending this Blog was lurking, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. But tonight it has become clear that Downunderpants has run out of puff. My pants are coming up.
I guess the reason why I haven’t brought myself to end Downunderpants sooner, is because this Blog has meant so much to me. It sounds silly, I mean it’s just a blog, but to be honest I’m not sure where I would be without having started it. Downunderpants has been my outlet, my place in the world where I could let it all hang out. It’s been my place to laugh and cry. My place to rant and rave and just be plain silly, but most of all, it’s been a place where I could just be me.
I remember quite clearly how it all started. And at the time I had no idea what I wanted to say or do with it, all I knew was that I had an overwhelming urge to connect. To connect with people who I thought I would never meet, and have no interaction with other than written text. Well so I thought.
As the months went on, and as it all unravelled, it turned out that I would get to meet some of these people. Some would turn out to be people who I would occasionally see out at certain venues. These people would, and continue to make the night fun and exciting. Others would become close friends, friends not only here in Melbourne, but also in other cities. And one would become a close and trusted friend, in fact, he became a best friend. Something that grew out of a drunken night out, on my part, and turned into something organic and easy. And then there were the people who just stopped by to read.
And it is you all now that I now reluctantly say goodbye to. Although it’s not really a final goodbye, I’ll still be around, reading Blogs and lurking in the background. So thank you for making the last two years fun and enjoyable, and thank you for helping me connect. But most of all, thank you for stopping by.
