I keep checking in here every day, sometimes several times a day and never post anymore.
I don't go into forest anymore.
I don't even feel like I have friends or anyone who want to communicate here anymore.
Maybe it's an old habit, but I still keep stopping by, looking through my activity tracks, and disappearing again. I feel kind of forgotten, and even a little left out. There's really not been much of any call for me to stay either.
Oddly, I feel the same about my life at the moment and my job. Just unwanted and left out. It's all these little things piling up, and I keep noticing things... perks and cliques that form around me while I'm just continuing as always to do the best I can with what I do. I don't have energy when I get home to do much interacting except with the veeeeery select few who reach out to talk to me. (Ok, literally one person these days. One.)
I don't know if it's a loss of interest on my behalf or on everyone else's. I keep wanting to do art, RPs, stories, and all else I used to do, but I can't seem to start.
I don't get it.
I might have to just give up and say goodbye to the forest and community. This might be it.
don`t give up! you're not
*chews on* =(
You're not alone. I haven't

Maybe its time to find something new. I dont think anyone should really ever say goodbye (they always seem to return anyway), but this place will always be here. Sometimes taking your attention away from here really helps, and coming back is refreshing. Im really into a game called Perfect World right now, so I play it a lot and really only go in-game when I feel like drawing or visiting a couple people when they're on. I play with a close friend, maybe yours will join you in looking for a new game together? Id say Id interact with you here on TEFc, but Im not here enough to do so :/. If you dont feel like doing the above, try reaching out? I think it may be a matter of playing catch-up and keep-up now. Theres just so much stuff going on with everyone here that the only way to keep up-to-date is to constantly check everything and go in-game. Otherwise youll just fall behind.
But you need enough interest to do those things, and unless you feel like making yourself (which might 1) just burn you out even quicker or 2) spark interest), take a little break finding something new that you enjoy.
Im sorry about what's going on irl. Unfortunately, people that march to the beat of their own drum tend to be left out. Naturally. I would say change what you can, and if you cant, disregard it. But dont get comfortable in your own misery. Youll get stuck like that.
Are you a college/ highschool graduate?
By the way, my skype is ravyn__ if you ever want to chat. I dont initiate conversation much, but when I do it'll usually be to check up on you and see how you're doing.
Ditto, Zerg. This is pretty
It's odd that this was one of two posts here I actually looked at today.
Going to second the others,

Zerg, as everyone said,
I can say that I completely relate with you. Between things going on in real life and not seeing many/any of my friends' faces/pictos either on the map or the community online list, I stay out of the Forest and don't actively seek out anyone new to talk to. I haven't put a character into the Forest for.. since June 1st. But I drag 'myself' in, just so I can appreciate the peace that the game offers when life's just being too much of a *insert word of preference* and I do nothing but sit and occasionally look around for a sleeping deer to keep myself company. Just doing that might help you feel better.
Plus, your picto will be on the Map, and anyone who's been waiting for an excuse to go online that misses you will have their reason, because you'll be there. That's kind of a baby step in 'right' direction in getting back into the action around here again. Just something small like logging in, you don't even have to do anything else, could perhaps help others get out of their own cycle of only checking in, then you'd both/all feel better...
Just my two cents from a fellow left out-person. And if you do decide that a break is what you need, then go for it. We'll be here for you when you get back, ok? Take care, Zerg, and I do hope I/we made you feel a bit better.
