Well... I'm back in TEF. I think it was-- at the very most-- a year ago that I began to play. I was always disconnected from the community, therefore always found myself walking among complete strangers when I was in the Forest. Now, with a new account and a new fawn, I am debating if I should use the energy to attempt fitting in this time around.
That was quite a boring introduction, now that I read over it; but my concerns aren't necessarily to impress quite yet, after all.
With the last deer I was Faoraven, an embodiment of my loneliness and isolation. I think I brought the concepts to life quite well in that deer, but that alone wasn't amusing enough to keep me in the game, obviously. With this new deer I hope to bring some satisfaction to myself in the matter of recognition; be that through forum activity or in-game presence. But my greatest fear-- rather the fact I resent the most-- is that I am just a player. Just a number in the member count of TEF, the web, the human race. But I shouldn't drown you in such suddenly massive ideas.
When I see the average player in any game I have a distant feeling of: "I want to be more than this". But there may be many others who look at me and think the same thing. Perhaps humans cannot be more to each other than "just another--"s. My thoughts have never come clearly or paced in any way, and for this I apologize to any vast-hearted soul who may be reading this.
Perhaps what I'm trying to do is become the great being I am in the world behind my eyelids. I want to be visibly special to others.... But... there is no way to do that, is there? It is such a dreadful, suffocating feeling when I realize how many feelings I wish to convey or manifest while I have no way of doing so. My hand cannot draw nor write well or quick enough to map them out. It honestly makes me think there is no point in living each time I recognize this.
Well... you can stop reading now. But you have probably taken that action already. Please send me a message (or however this works) any time. It's not as if I had anyone else to talk to.
Learn (if you could even call it that) about the mind of a 14 year old, mentally genderless outcast!
Welcome back to the forest!
I think you've got interesting opinions, and I understand where you're coming from with the whole "I want to be more than this" kind of feeling. For me, I get pretty connected with my characters and to a certain extent they do symbolize a part of me. I can't really help doing that, I just like being connected with my characters because it makes them easier for me to play and overall more enjoyable and fun. However, that doesn't mean that whatever happens to my characters I take personally.
Anyways, that's just my two cents ^^ Hope you have a good time in the forest and here on the Community. If you ever need some company, in-forest or not, just gimme a holler c:
Welcome back~ I think one is
I think one is only "just a player" here as much as he or she makes him/herself out to be. You can be 'just a player,' or you can search for new ways to express yourself and contribute to being part of the wonderfully cobbled family we have here. You don't have to draw or write well - or even at all. Do what feels right and poke around until you find what fits you. Dance, sing, shout into your pillow if it works. Be who you are, and you will shine.
You're only an outcast as long as you sit outside the circle and sigh. Jump in - we don't bite :3
-Mumbles to self- Well~...
But thank you for the acknowledgment you have given me.
No, it's not, but if you
This community generally has wide-open arms for anyone who gives it an honest go. What I mean to say is that you're welcome here.
Everyone here, really, is
But. If you need someone to talk to, my MSN's . :3
