What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

You can learn from the past, but you can't dwell on it or live in it. We live forward.

Don't let ideas of who you are now or who you have been in the past shape who or what you want to be in the future.
