So I closed my eyes, and scribbled the truth onto my heart...[RANT]

...and by god, I was horrified at the story my hands weaved.


It's time to sweep the table clean, and get the facts straight.

Bear with me, however. I'm typing this at about 2:30 in the morning, and I technically shouldn't even be in the lounge at this hour. But I'm throwing away sleep time for this. Because frankly, I need to let some steam off outside of the Forest. Those of you who witnessed me beating the sap out of the trees will now see what my grievances are/were concerning.

I'll start with the obvious. I hate seeing the community torn apart like this. It's true that I haven't been here that long (Maybe since last September), but I still feel that there's something about this community that sets it apart from the forums and such that I've been to. Save for TKK. TKK will always have a firm bond with me, regardless as to how detached I am from it now.

But regardless, seeing everyone in disarray like this hurts a bit. Sure, chaos and drama is the very lifeblood of life itself, and without it, the world would turn cold and stale; but it has always been within human nature to hate the very things that keep them alive. Hence why I voice this confession of hating drama and chaos.

And yet, it's almost cruel that, despite hating it, I seem to get drawn right into it; in fact, I feel that sometimes I've caused it, and not of my own will. Which is, again, hurtful to me.

Getting away from that, another confession: I will confess to being selfish towards most things. And yet, I keep myself humble at the same time; Many times I've said, "Oh this sucks," and whatnot, and everytime I say it, I do, in fact, mean it. But at the same time, there's a nagging thought in me that tells me the reason I said so was to garner compliments. That bothers me; it bothers me, because, I genuinely do believe I lack skills with everything I do, and yet, in the back of my mind, I just want to be noticed? It's rather conflicting, and that's something that's always frightened me.

Which brings me to my next point: As I've stated in another blog, I am an insecure person.

I am terrified of what people think of me. Maybe it's simply because of that selfishness that I was talking about earlier. But I have this fear that everyone is out to get me, or that they're pretending to be my friend, only to be talking shit about me behind my back.

NO. I AM NOT ASKING YOU TO SAY WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT ME. IF I SEE A POST LIKE IT, I WILL EAT YOUR FACE.

Of course, I myself make yet another confession; I am, in fact, prone to being two-faced. While sometimes I can't mask my emotions, other times I can. For example, right now, I'm laughing and having a good time in a Livestream, but as soon as I click back to this page, I feel nothing but pent up feelings that should have been trashed long ago.

I am not saying, however, that my feelings towards you, the community, is two faced; what you see me post concerning love and adoration for you and your work is 100% genuine; I am referring to the fact that I can seemingly switch personalities and thoughts within seconds, in a fervent attempt to mask feelings that I feel are nothing more than a burden, such as anger, frustration, and sadness.

And recently, I have failed in my endeavours to mask such feelings. You've all seen my suddenly posting vent work like mad. It's simply because I couldn't take the strain anymore, and I needed a way to vent.

Unfortunately, my graphics, and the music that sways them is no longer enough to cage all the negativity that I feel. Which is why I typing all of this now.

And to be frank, I feel like I'm typing a suicide note. Which I am not, but that's what it feels like.

And now, onto my final point, at least for now, and at least while my brain is still somewhat functioning.

There are certain people/deer who whom I am terrified of. It's not because they're "OMG MEAN." No, far from it. They're all very nice people/deer that don't bite at all.

It's just...I have this lingering fear of people/deer who are well known, or have close bonds to a set few players/deer. Perhaps it's partial jealousy, because it's something I feel I lack. Or perhaps it's something else entirely. Either way, I get jumpy and giddy when someone well known posts a comment on something I've posted; and to be frank, I hate it, regardless of the fact that it's my nature; I'm sure it embarrasses them, and I feel embarrassed for reacting like a 13 year old who just met the actor crush of her life.

Sure, I have approached deer that I have been nervous about, and things went without a hitch. But it does nothing to soothe my nerves. I still feel that one wrong move could turn a tense, yet peaceful atmosphere into a battleground. Hell, I'd be afraid to even flinch.

I guess all in all, I'm just a selfish, nervous wreck who can't decide what to think or to feel, or even why she feels in such a way.

I'm quite sure I'd have more to say, but I think this covers most of it. And it's the most that I can think of right now.

...We are like two sides of the same coin. So much about that is true for me.
But that is not all you are. <3 In fact, you are much more.

^I agree with ocean fully

^I agree with ocean fully D:
I'm the same way about being fearful of others.
Say, in-forest especially. Like with couples or close friends hanging with other deer you don't know,
I may know them extremely well, but I'm always afraid to go and see them.
With couples, etc. It's like I'm afraid of getting close or trying to greet them, out of fear of being shoo'd away, ignored or worse. I've heard of things like that happening to people that DID get too close.
So, when I see a friend I know with their mate/etc etc. I just keep my distance.
Sometimes, I instantly respect them being together, and I feel as if I'm also not good enough to join them.

Ocean - The question is, who's the shadow? 8D

Mmm...and perhaps I'm not. Perhaps all's you see here is all I am. But I digress.

TFO - Exactly. I don't like going near deer who are in pairs, or are by themselves. More often than not, I've sat next to a lone deer, and they either moved away from me, or became aggressive. And as for deer in pairs, well...I'm usually not in the mood to get shooed away just because I came within an inch of their livelihood.
