I miss this app sm
I miss the outdated UI, the unhinged posts, the background pictures that came straight from 2015 and the overall vibes. I barely posted on it back then but the only times I did, I received a lot of dms from different people (well mostly horny pedo dudes lol). But I do recall having a few meaningful conversations with people on there.
One of them was this guy. I was having a hard crush on one of my cousins at the time and made a post about it. I don't exactly remember what I wrote though. Then he privately messaged me asking if I would make a move on it. I don't remember my answer. He said that he had a crush on one of his cousins too. But it was a long time ago.
We talked about the crush I had on my cousin. He suggested me to do a few things to attract my cousin's attention but I was too shy. At some point we started talking about our lives.
He said he was a financial advisor. Had a big tattoo. He sent me a picture of a painting he was making at the time, saying he had taken up this hobby recently.
We talked a lot. And I really did have fun. I hope he did too.
This only went on for like a week before he ghosted me. I was devastated and in denial. Later I made another post with the same content about crushing on my cousin, expecting that he would message me back. Or at least someone like him. It was fruitless. So I completely gave up on it.
Talking to him made me feel good, especially considering I had no friends then. But I was also scared. Because I was 14 and he was like 30 at the time. Nevertheless it was really special, so special that this memory still visits me years later. I guess you could say that I miss him.
I yearn for such a meaningful connection again. The men I've talked to on the internet always ask for nudes or are still immature.
Now this app is taken down. I have tried some alternatives but they don't really have the same vibes as the original one. They also feel... pretentious. I guess we will never come close to experiencing the old app.
So RIP, Whisper! Thanks for the good memories.
