woah my gawd giant block of text ahead

Actually it`s more like 2 years and 1 day. 8D

I`ve been waiting for today for....well, awhile. It`s almost surreal to think that I was once sitting in front of my computer two years ago, as a noob who`d been here for all of two hours. |D But I remember it like it was just yesterday.

Though...I do want to apologize for not being around here as much lately. It`s no secret that I`ve been rather inactive. I can`t really say why-I tend to go into small slumps at times-though I do reckon it was due to the drama that took place some time ago. It was sad watching all of that go down, but it`s over for now.

So I guess what I`m really saying to say is thank you. All of you. You`re-and yes, I mean everyone, even the ones I don`t know very well-are some of the kindest and most interesting people I`ve ever met. or digitally met/slapped Though the drama that takes place here can be quite stressful, TEFc ultimately remains one of the nicest communities I`ve seen. And I`ll admit, I`m proud of you for being able to move on from all of that drama. While I was sitting around not quite certain of what to do, you all managed to continue on, role playing your characters and just having fun in forest. And when it mattered the most, you all banded together in order to help one another. That was a very noble thing to do.

We`re all a family here, in some sort of strange way. Of course, that`s just my opinion ;D Even if we`re a bit dysfunctional at times, the ties that seem to separate us also bind us together. The compassion that many have for their fellow players here really touches me. I mean that. I`ll admit that I`m sometimes afraid to speak my mind, but I know I can trust you as a whole to not to react negatively. Because those are the sort of people you are. ♥

I think I`m going to come back to the forest soon. It`s no one`s fault that I`ve stayed away but my own. I`m sorry that I wasn`t able to recover as quickly as the rest of you, but as I mentioned before, things have gotten much better. I had a new character concept in the works for some time, so there might be a slight chance that it`ll appear in the forest sometime. Though even if I`m not on forest, I`ll always be lurking around on the site, commenting sometimes. It`s impossible for me to stay away.

So thank you, again, for reading this. Even if you didn`t read through the whole thing honestly, I wouldn`t expect you to. I over elaborate at the best of times. Stay the way you are, all of you. While things around here aren`t always the best, they could be far worse. I love you all. ♥
