Hello, everyone.

First of all, I apologize for disappearing entirely. Truth be told, I lost the motivation to roleplay and socialize. My projects have been taking up a lot of my time, as I hope to become a professional writer someday. I still love roleplaying and chatting with you guys, though, don't get me wrong. I just don't feel like doing it anymore. I'm always tired, and my mental health hasn't been great for the past years. I'll be okay, though.

To be honest, I originally left the TEF community for a personal reason I chose not to disclose, as I didn't want to talk about it (and still don't). Stuff happened that made me want to isolate myself. Since then, I've been hesitating to come back. The thing is, even if I was to come back, I don't think it would be anytime soon. I won't go into details here, but I'm adjusting to my new daily life, and I don't know how I can add roleplay in there without it becoming too much of a distraction.

I was also getting tired of having my characters sitting in-forest doing nothing all day long. TEF and its community did help me with my social anxiety, and it was fun at times. But other times, I just didn't see the point. Staying motivated for long text-based RPs had proven to be difficult as well. I love them, but there were several times where I just gave up due to lack of interest/motivation. Not to mention updating my characters' diaries. Obviously, it's my problem, not anyone else's. But these are some of the reasons why I ended up leaving.

Oddly enough, I miss all of that. I miss hanging out with other people, even if it's just online. I miss creating and playing characters, fleshing them out as they interact with other people's characters. I miss the Forest. But... I don't know. Maybe things will go in a different direction. Maybe I'll come back to TEF. Or just get back to roleplaying in general. Maybe I'll come back sooner than I expected. Only time will tell.

Thank you for reading all of this. Feel free to reach out to me if you want. I may not reply for a long while, or not reply at all. But know that I appreciate every kind message I receive.

I wish you all the best. Take care of yourselves. ♥
