I'm not writing as Mystress, but as myself. EmmaLee, hey guys.
It's a wonderful thing to have options, and here on TEF, you have the option to leave. You don't have that choice in real life.
The only reason I can sit here and type this out, reach deeply into my heart and try to open my arms ready for dear friends to leave, is because it's hard. When life is hard, you make yourself a shell...
Saying all of this for some reason sounds like I don't care.
I think about this place every day... of everyone, and of my characters and how I can make them bettter. I see a big standing stone I think of the Gods... or hear the name "Walter"... Well, you get it. This place has become a part of me, more than anyone will ever know. And the people I've met I've dreamed of meeting in real life. I care too much about everyone here to leave.
I am just one voice. Reaching out to be heard, like everyone else... One person can make a difference. That's the only reason I've stayed for you all. To try to help, and pray that I have. To stay for my friends, my ground, my reason. And even though my banks are crubling under my roots, I will try and hold on.
I can't let go.
I've been here too long.
Can I let you all go?
Can you let me go?
We are all the same....
As soon as we realize we are all breathing together, and aiming to live, then we may live in harmony.
I love you all.
We will get through this.

This is the sound of one voice
One spirit, one voice
The sound of one who makes a choice
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of voices two
The sound of me singing with you
Helping each other to make it through
This is the sound of voices two
This is the sound of voices three
Singing together in harmony
Surrendering to the mystery
This is the sound of voices three
This is the sound of all of us
Singing with love and the will to trust
Leave the rest behind it will turn to dust
This is the sound of all of us
This is the sound of one voice
One people, one voice
A song for every one of us
This is the sound of one voice
This is the sound of one voice
TEF alows me to vent about how i feel about the passing of my brother. It allows to be a more creative person with my stories and my sketches. I love the song.
YOU ONLY HAVE ONE VOICE AND ONE HEART LET THEM BE HEARD.
C: You've got a way with words. I heartily understand and agree with what you said- I know this community can get so silly sometimes and we've had out fair share of drama but honestly, we overcome it each time. Like you, I don't think I could tear myself away from you guys because I <3 this place too much. I get too attached to my online communities, lol xD
But really, I think this will pass too. A lot of the time, when people "leave" they come back, at the very least to check in on things, so I'm hoping that will happen with these cases as well. As much as we get ourselves in trouble here, we still somehow pull through each time. ANYWAY very well said, and I <3 the poem.

Wow, that's.....that's very deep, I, on here don't have any friends xD; but I don't think I could ever leave now no matter what happens, this place allows me to free whatever emotions I'm feeling and to create my own characters without feeling of being judged <3 everyone on here I see as so kind and I don't think they could change that.
I have the choice to escape this hell here. This life.
I don't have a choice to escape real life, unless I decide to pay the ultimate price.
I'm so very, very sad that my world to escape to, the people who once embraced me and my opinion, the love and the awe for this new world...it's gone. I'm so sad...my hands shake and my eyes water, but...I came here to escape the world around me...and now this world has turned for the worse, for me anyway. I don't have anywhere left, but it's time to pack the bag and head down the beaten path. I miss The Endless Forest. I don't miss the hurt.
I understand your feeling quite well. Personally, I'm a bit on the "outside" regarding some of the more recent situations that have appeared within the Forest, but I've seen enough to keep me from stepping back into the pool.
I ran into some "incidents" myself that slowly started to push me away from the game and the community. I watched as friendships that I had tried to develop slowly began to fade along with my hope of the situation improving. Eventually, I found myself losing the urge to enter the Forest. I lost connections with my characters; I felt so out of place whenever I trotted through the fields, almost like a ghost forgotten by time that silently haunts the world as I await for discovery. As time went on, I went myself slowly losing interest in keeping up with the news of the Forest.
My cursor would hover over my bookmark but only one out of twenty times would I actually click it. I would just quickly keep an eye out for the people I cared about before slipping back into the shadows. I found myself loading the game up only to quickly log out before being noticed because I didn't want to get spotted by someone since the emotional connection I once had feels like its gone.
However...I never forgot this site. I never forgot the friends I made. As you can see, I'm still here; I just rarely show myself. I have been debating on coming back...But if I do...It would be a new batch of character with the exception of Paavo, but I've been hearing that the Forest hasn't improved much...It's still a thought within my mind to say the least. Maybe with time, my new fawn will try to thrive in the Forest.
