A Tired that Ran Endlessly

(In this POV My little deer thinks on a deep tiredness and stopping but then waking up and all is good! )
In case folks need to stay clear of those thoughts yeye Nothing too graphic though- More under the cut! nV n)

It felt like for the longest time,
I was a deep tiredness that wandered endlessly through the misty grays of sleep.

It claimed me like I thought the forest would, and I was apart from myself for what felt like eons.
Even now I'm only halfway back, only halfway to my self and awareness. I'm here but I'm not awake.

I move as if through deep murky waters, Is there a way out?
Did the forest eat me after all like I had feared all those eons ago?

My mind falters- Is this what happened to the others who were too weak to survive?
If I just lay down now, will I never return to that strange forest?

No. I must return. I won't be consumed by this or the forest or anything else!
If I concentrate I can feel my body in the space just outside of that forest. I will return even if it takes me a whole nother eon!

I pushed forward in those murky gray waters, one slow step after another.
My mind and symbol dim in the forever gray of this place of tired sleep but I will not give up.

--
Every so often- I catch my mind wandering as I find myself standing still when I was sure I had been walking.
It goes blank with a deep tiredness that I feel in every bit of what is me.

I think- I slept for another while, being nothing while existing.
I'm closer now then I was though, perhaps I wandered closer- Ah yes- I'm there- right there-

If I just reach out-
I woke up then, and everything drifted as that very long dream faded.
I'm bigger now! So tall! My reflection shows me a very intimidating looking deer.
I'm older and now I have horns that stand higher than me holding my symbol between them.

I stumble around on my too long legs as I search the forest for others.
If I wander around enough perhaps I will find someone who I knew as a young one.

((School drained me completely last year, I did not mean to disappear but I did. But now I am back!))
Better than ever! More lively than I've been before! And ready to run as my darling deer!))

Hi, Bashful! o/ School is

Hi, Bashful! o/ School is definitely draining and I'm glad you've managed through that bit of it in one place and doing well!

This is very nice as always, and although I won't pry into the reason of writing it or meaning, I wanted to let you know that the emotions described here are something I appreciate seeing it into words and I think we can all relate. I personally really enjoy the perseverance and joy in the story that comes about as a result!

You have such nice writing!

You have such nice writing! It really does evoke a mood that speaks to me a lot.
Hello and welcome back <33

Thank you, Tuo and Kohva!

@FishBiscuit
FIIISSSsshh!! HEY! -wave wave wave!!-
Bluh I absolutely agree!! It's completely draining! I really feel like learning /should/ be fun!
BUt ye! I survived!

haha Mostly I just wanted to explain where Aylin's been! Like give her a canon reason for her disappearance and all to work into her character >V< But ;w; I'm glad that these emotions are relateable.
It's nice but sad knowing that they're understood, I wouldn't wish that sort of thing on anyone tbh
BUT YES, THE HAPPY SIDE! She's out! And Happy! And Free! n V n

I hope you're been well these past few months Fish!!

@Niriya
Ahhh Thank you!! I really wanted to make it more dramatic but I still have to learn /how/ >:y
I love writing that really explains a atmospheric mood! -V- So I'm super glad mine does too!!!

Hello To you as well!! And Thank you! It's great to be back in the Forest!

-keeps waving until my arms fall off-
It should be fun, but sometimes it's more tiring than anything! Your brain has to work extra hard and I'm sure that uses up the energy we have in our bodies. When I was a full-time college student, I use to take naps almost every day and they'd range from ~30 minutes to once I think 3 hours. Learning is hard work, but it's wonderful!

I'm glad she was able to escape that miasma of fatigue! And now she's grown-up, yea? I hope she has lots of adventures that she couldn't normally have as a little fawn!! Let me know if you need any help getting her a pelt, mask, antlers, etc.

I've been doing well considering the circumstances, thank you for asking! I start my first new job this Monday after being a temp worker for way too long which I'm looking forward to c:
