No we didn't go to school together, I went to a school in the district that was not exactly public, but not exactly private either (hard to explain without potentially exposing the area we are from. It seems we are both far, far away from that place now, but still). But I took some classes at the public high school in the area as well and I never saw her around. I got the impression that she was maybe not in school anymore, either from graduating a year or two early or homeschooling or doing online class. I could be wrong about that though, maybe she was in a different district than me within the county.
But she was very kind and sweet to me online despite me being an incredibly spergy, lame girl. I remember she sent me a really, really long message initially, about how she found it difficult to relate to other people in the area irl, that I seemed different than most other people locally. I remember specifically her saying that people around there were like empty cicada shells. She really has a way with words, her whole message was so beautifully written and poetic that I feel just awful for shying away from her. Looking back on it, it might have been really nice and hopeful for the two of us to have a friendship. That place was awfully isolating. Hicksville for sure lol.
As for the fascinating mind- she's just always seemed to me to have a unique way with words, unique thought process. Idiosyncratic I guess. I remember encountering her Tumblr by chance a couple of years later and really liking the things she wrote and posted on there. I didn't want to contact her then though because she seemed agitated about people doing that, which I would later learn was probably from online harassment. Seems like some people ITT seem to see her as a pseud, I disagree. She always struck me as being very intelligent and sincerely dedicated to the things she was interested in. I didn't want to pry too much into this thread aside from to confess my regret but I'm glad she managed to get away from prying eyes and away from that shitty place we grew up in. I'm sad that she ended up under such scrutiny online - I suspect we probably lurked in similar places online back then and I knew it was really unwise to ever reveal myself on 4chan or any adjacent spaces. But when you live a somewhat insular place where you don't fit in much at all, like the South, it's not unreasonable to try to seek connections anywhere you can. I feel pretty sad that she ended up being stalked a lot and potentially victimized as a result. I'm sure she doesn't remember me at all, and I had nearly forgotten about her myself. But I wish her the absolute best.
