Life is a funny thing and the world is too for that matter. What makes both even funnier is the Internet. With its initial purpose being to connect people, it's strangely disconcerting how it manages to distance them. 

We are able to access limitless informational resources, to track people and their lives but they (the people) still manage to disappear from this web. 

We all have different reasons for using the Internet and for giving it up for that matter. Even myself, several years ago I gave up twitter, Instagram, etc. Back then I didn't think it will affect anybody, I didn't realize someone might want me back. However, now I see that when you disappear there will be someone who will miss you, subconsciously or not. 

All of us have our own muses and when the muse begins to die or to disappear, we ourselves disappear (metaphorically of course). This is a hard concept to grasp and comprehend but this time comes for most if not all of us. We need to move one as we grow out of our old selves. I'm certain that if I look back at my very first posts in this blog, they will make me cringe but I also know that I don't want to delete them. Even when I leave this blog behind, I want it to be there, to hang around in the web in the hope that someone will come across it and might be interested. 

Sadly, there is rarely anything that can make you go back. Once you've given up on something, once you've lost your interest or grown out of it, it's hard to regain the passion. 

Now, having given my thoughts some structure, I can see why people leave but unfortunately I can't comprehend why they don't leave anything behind. What's the purpose in disappearing without leaving a legacy? Why is it so important to wipe everything out, every sign of your existence in this web? 

It will take me time to underhand this but I sincerely hope I will get to the bottom of it.
