A new beginning

~thewizo

Hi everyone, my friends call me Wizo.

I was not allways called this, may i add... i had a digital life under a different handle before that i used for about 2 decades, but about two month ago i had an online encounter with somebody which in a way scared me into killing this old handle and the digital life that was associated with it. I removed every bit of information i could get hold on, deleted websites, closed mail and social media accounts.

This old digital life of mine ended at this point and a new one began. In a way its... liberating.

I lurked in this pub for a long time, even more so while i waited for my application to be processed, and i very much like the way everyting here seems to work.

Well, ahem, i think the next round goes on me :-)

If you think that's liberating, imagine losing the "primary" identity.... ;-)
