oh holy maccaroniiiii this place... so much time has gone by and I haven't let anything be heard from me here, I should be ashamed. Or should I? Does anyone even remember me?

I still hold this place dearly in my mind, I have billions of good memories connected to TEF, it's incredible. Without you, I would have never realized that I have at least the mimicry of an ability to draw. All of you, with your amazing talents and wonderful encouragement even on pictures that when I look back at them now, I just want to hide somewhere and kill the roots before they breed.

Slightly exaggerating here, but you get my point!

I don't know if I'm yet able to return or anything of that sort. I've still got two months of my exchange year left - because 8 months ago I froze my German highschool time for one year and just went to another country called Finland for 11 months, to live in a Finnish host family, go to Finnish "lukio" = highschool, not seeing my German family and friends for the same time, surrounded by strange people and an even stranger and unknown language and TADA, here I am.
I speak Finnish now, quite decently, have had amazing times and incredibly hard times and found friends for life and just had an unforgettable experience which isn't even over yet. Seriously, if some of you ever get the chance to do an exchange year or something of these sorts - go ahead and do it. I'm not even a courageous person, I need my family a lot, and a lot of my weird habits have led to some conflicts, but still, I've done it all and been through all the hard times and made the best out of it all and learned so incredibly much it's been worth a whole lifetime.

The reason why I'm here right now is because I came home this morning from crazy Finnish people all over Helsinki celebrating Walpurgis night, "Vappu", and a lot of things happened and my mind was so full I couldn't sleep until now and suddenly I got all nostalgic for TEF and just had to poke my nose in here again for once...

Enough of this selfish talk. If anybody would mind, I'd actually love much more to hear from you!

I bet most of you don't even know or remember me, hah. But still, how are each of you doing? Any little news would be so incredibly nice to hear. I'm trying to get something out of all the recent posts, but the number of as "new" marked posts is way too much...

As a relative

As a relative somewhat-newbie, I don't believe I've met you before - but I remember seeing your name (and art!) around the community. Hello! (:

I've been here only 4 days XP

I've been here only 4 days XP but I caught sight of some of your art. I must say, nice work ^^

Hey there Flyra! I'm back to

Hey there Flyra!

I'm back to my old self in the forest again! I haven't been on so much, but I'm in the forest every day now and enjoying every minute of it!

I suffer from depression and TEF and this wonderful community is a life saver for me. I couldn't be without TEF and these wonderful people!

I envy you. I wish I could have done things like you've done but meh, I haven't done anything with my life. I wasted it away.

I'm glad you're doing OK Flyra!

PS. It was my 6 years in TEF on the 27th!

Flyra! Welcome back, for

Flyra! Welcome back, for however brief a time it is, but still!!

Um, as for new things.. Back, I believe, last month, there were a ton of people who had hit their fifth or sixth TEF anniversary. I personally had my fourth TEFc about a week ago, and TEF-day in Dec. :>
Ummmm... I'm not very interesting P:

Glad to see you back, though, Flyra!

Oooooh hello everybody!

Awww, it's so good to hear from you all. ♥ Thanks for the answers already!

Anjali - I haven't been here since over a year, so it might be that we never met. But it's nice to meet you now! (: Hello there! I hope you have made yourself at home already in the Forest and the community. How are you doing here?

OrinocoFlow - Oh, wow, well should I say welcome to the Forest, then? ;D Even though I myself am not the biggest part of it anymore, but anyway! I hope you'll enjoy it here.

And aww, I'm honored you've already seen my work, it's all been such a long time ago since I drew it, I barely feel like I can take credit for it anymore, haha. :'D But thank you so much, I'm flattered to hear that you like it! ♥

Pegasicorn - A wild Flyra appears!!

Heeey Pegaaa, it's so good to see you still around here! How have you been doing? (:

Sluggs - Hello there! So good to hear from you.

And wooow, first of all: congratulations on the 6th year anniversary! That's a really long time and I'm glad the Forest is such a big and good part of your life! I'm so sorry to hear you suffer from depression.

I remember you once telling me "Life is not a bunch of roses", and I feel the same very often but it sounds like things have gone much worse for you. I wish I could help you somehow... And I really wish you the best and that one day you'll hopefully truly realize what an amazing and loveable person you really are.

I have always had the hugest respect for you. And don't tell me you've wasted your life, what about all the amazing stuff you created with computer programs? I can't even comprehend a glimpse of it, but you are a true master with it. Be proud of that, rightfully! And try to enjoy the little things of life once in a while and appreciate them more, and think of all the good sides too. I really hope things will be bright for you soon, you deserve it. ♥
Okay, sorry, this was't supposed to sound so ... psychotherapeutic now ...

But I really wish I could help you somehow, so if you want to talk or just anything, I would always take my time!

And thank you for your nice comment. As said, I'm so happy to hear from you!

WonderfullySarcastic - Hello there! Thank you for the nice welcome back

Haha, well it's good to hear there are so many people still around after so many years!

I suppose the 3 years and 33 weeks on my profile don't really count, since I haven't been here at all for probably almost exactly 1 year and those 33 weeks. But nevermind!

Congratulations on your anniversaries too! It's actually indeed very interesting to hear, so nice how many people have sticked around.
I'm so glad to hear from you, too! ♥

Quad - Oooooh hello Quad!!

*nuzzle back* How nice to see you still here! How are you doing?

Haha yes, I shamefully thought that maybe a little life sign couldn't be too bad. This place is still amazing and full of great memories and people. So hihi, thank you for the nice welcome back!

Flyleaf - I remember you too! Hello dear ♥

Thank you for the welcome back! Haha, I used to love that too, and then I got sad when they disappeared again, but who knows maybe I'll slowly but surely even make my way back to here. Okay, probably not during the two months of my exchange year, they will be most probably way too busy for spending time to play the game or be on the community much but I'll try my best after that!

So far, it's so good to hear from you all again. ♥ Take care!

XD just finishing up college

XD just finishing up college here, I'll hopefully have a job soon. I'm looking in West Virginia and sending resumes and applications out like crazy. The waiting is killing me XD.

I jump in the Forest from time to time but I haven't been as much active as I used to be.

Hello my little card writer

Hello my little card writer ♥. It's good to hear from you again

I've been doing alright myself! Started my internship in an animation studio today, and so far it's very promising and fun! I've been getting more into the plushie business, stuff like that.
But, hi. ♥ Sounds like you had quite the adventures!

But it's a job I look forward to going to.

Such an awesome experience you've had. I'm so glad to hear you're doing well.
You remember me, right?

Wow; it is so refreshing to

Wow; it is so refreshing to see you again!
I doubt if you would remember me or even know me..I'm not sure if we've even talked but I remember you so fondly.
I'm so glad you've had a good life and amazing experiences, I too envy you. ♥
Hng..I guess I can't say anything is new for me since we have never had an 'old' together..

May 7, 2012 - 6:49pm — Flyra

Quad - Well then, good luck

Quad - Well then, good luck finding a job! And tell me about reduced activity haha, but yeah, it's really cool if you find at least a little bit of time in between to play.

Kaoori - I'm just being honest, really!

I'm glad you've been doing good and I can really see your improvement, keep going girl!

Misako - Awwww you remember that! Haha I had so much fun sending you postcards

Maybe I should do it again sometime? Do you still have the same adress? xD And wow, looks like you've made a lot of progress! I saw your animation video somewhere, amazing work there!

And your plushies are so adorable! Have fun at your animation studio, I'm glad you're getting to work at what you love to do. I hope it'll be the same for me one day!
Haha so nice to hear from you dear! ♥ And yeah, you could call it adventures, lots of new experiences for sure!

Dannii - AWW YOU ♥ So happy you remember me, too!

nyaaa thank you dear, I hope you've been fine as well?

Dampir - Whee, thank you for the nice welcome back

Well, maybe I'll play finally a bit more often soon and maybe we'll meet in the Forest then!

Lung - That's so sweet from you! I wouldn't have thought so many recognized me haha

You're so kind, thank you so much! ♥

Pega - Well, having a life is actually not such a bad thing, maybe? If you give it a small chance?

Have fun at your job!

Ravynn - Oh my, of course I remember you! I think we both came to TEF at exactly the same day, didn't we? It's so great to see you, too! I've had amazing experiences indeed, I've never regretted a second of doing an exchange year here in Finland. I hope you have been doing fine, too? (:

Dinamo - Awwwww whyyy I'm so happy to hear that!

Thank you dearly ♥ I definitely remember your name as well! And haha you don't need too much envy, I was just lucky to be able to follow one of my dreams, and I'm sure you can do the same, one day, and fulfill one of your own dreams!

At least I wish you all the best with it ♥
Haha and maybe we don't, but there's always the chance to get to know each other better just for the first time!

Well sure go ahead! I always

Well sure go ahead! I always wish I could send something back though. I remember your cards, I likely still have em too. I hope. It's difficult to know what survives my sudden CLEAN EVERYTHING moods.
I would hope I have! Lots of things going on with me lately, good and bad of course. But I'm generally content where things are headed.
I'm sure it'll be the same for you too one day! I've sooo long doubted what I wanted. Things are coming together! I think these days we too often have to think of what we want too early. I'm 21 and it's only NOW coming together, hahaha.
You need to tell stories! XD I want to know how it's going over there!
