Because I found was in my heart, I gave up my present-tense ways and tried to live my life as was wanted for me. However, I understood that many people, because they were so ingrained in their present-tense ways, would not understand what I had done and why I had done it. I decided to make a thread where we discussed the teachings of was and how we would change our wicked ways. It proved to be quite difficult to convey the point of my thread, but it was understood that the thread was for an active conversation about the teachings of was framed in the past tense, as all things should be.

I hoped that people would ask me questions and convert themselves.

I read HB’s post and wished him godspeed in his quest.

As I looked to the future I wondered what my senile self would later think of such a thing.

It was very difficult to hold a conversation in the past tense, but I knew that if we stuck to it, it would be worth it.

I was very thankful for everyone’s kind words, and hoped that people would see that a life lived in the past tense was the true path to enlightenment.

I glanced on this thread and decidedly made up my mind to live in the past.

The thread was dying with its op banned. I felt, though, that it could still have a future if we showed it we cared. And that we always would.
