Indeed, this is a very noble cause and quite the nostalgia trip reading that list!
As for how I'm doing, well I'm surviving, so that's a good start. I've been out of college for three years and still trying to decide what exactly I want to do with my life.
In any case, I do miss the people I remember, though I didn't interact with too many. Jeez, the people I knew back then are grown adults now, just like me.
I dunno if this will incentivize me to get back into BL that much, but it sure does feel nice to reminisce and reflect.
