>>54095311What do (you) consider contributing? For some it's art, others writing, and for some just a friendly face is enough for them to consider (you) an important part of their experience in a project like this.
What (you) look back on might seem like a dumb story or a doodle, but for others it's a fond memory.
Who are (you) to say that (you) never should have participated? Just because (you) have been gone for a while? A day, a week, a month? Doesn't matter. Life happens, and that's unavoidable. Everyone will just be happy that (you) are back, even to just spend (you)r time with the project.
