I know its been ages since I last bothered to contribute anything to you, but this doesn't mean that I had forgotten you. Each time I opened up a new tab in my Chrome I saw your thumbnail neatly placed in the bottom left corner (maybe thats why I never forgot you). But yes I lost interest. More so because I ran out of ideas. Maybe because I was too lazy. Or maybe because spending energy here gave me no substantial reward and hence subconsciously I began to get distracted away from you.There wasn't anything major that happened in my life either during this time that I would've wanted to share with you. Or maybe there was but I didn't bothered sharing it with you. Infact there was quite alot of stuff. I had my birthday, midterm exams, a beach party etc. Guess I was too lazy to write whole articles on it for an audience that hardly exists. Hence I preferred playing Fifa rather than spending my time with you. But I never forgot you. Seriously.
I think I don't have a writer's instinct. I enjoy writing, but only seasonally. So one thing that you've taught me is that I should never pursue a career as a writer because its just not my thing. I think I write well, but I don't have the drive to write on a regular basis. So thank you for teaching me that.
I've also learnt that you can easily be forgotten if you don't make yourself remembered. Important lesson this. To be in a history book I need to make history first. To be in someone's memories I need to build those memories myself. Thank you for teaching me this priceless lesson.
Last but not the least, you've taught me that I can learn from anything and anyone. Be it a highly qualified Professor or a webpage that doesn't even know it exists (no offence). But you've been very helpful and I have not forgotten you.
Regards,
Ali Rafiq
