I think we've all gotten wiser as we've gotten older. Looking back at things, I cringe at my own naivety. But I guess you can call them learning experiences. It does suck when you put so much effort into things only to feel that it didn't really matter. But hopefully you had fun doing it? Yeah, as much as the old mud drove me nuts and frustrated me, I still loved playing, I had fun, and I still miss my characters. I probably could've been doing something more productive with my life, but I think I needed that period to grow. And now I'm finally graduating in the fall and I'm at least out in the real world. :P But being away from mudding for a few years, I got the urge again and ended up finding a new place to play--no longer 10 hours (or more) a day though, hehe. And I think this time I'm seeing it more as something I do for fun and not something to obsess over or get too wrapped up in. Remember healthy mudding habits--it's just a game!
