Short Memo #7. Empty world.
I find it extremely depressing to read abandoned blogs. It's like getting to know someone so well and suddenly realising that they are not there anymore. The internet is know as the 'Cyber World', but what happens when people leave this world? I used to use xanga when I was young. I had a frequent reader, Jin Park, a korean boy from New York whom I befriended. We never saw each other's photos. But I remember running home from school everyday to read his blog or answer his email. I almost loved him. However when I entered highschool, I slowly forgot about him. Today I went to check my old inbox to see an email from him. It broke my heart. "i'll mail you asap after you get this message if you do i hope that is." - March 27, 2006.
