I have no clue why I'm still up. I usually go to bed around this time, and I'm not looking forward to messing up my sleeping habits again. I guess I came here just to get a few things off my mind. First thing that came to my mind just now was... what happened to this place? Scrolling through the member list to find many of our members, even the sage ones, are now inactive. There's probably only a handful of us that visit at least monthly. I guess those who are in charge are not really keeping it together anymore; people are just going their separate ways. I don't blame time for affecting this forum's activity. It's not as bad as some of the old forums I visited today. I've seen a lot of communities die by this point in my life. I still don't know why I came here to blog. I got nothing new. All I could do now is talk about the past or some sort. One day over four years ago got me here. I saw my best friend Kyle playing Animal Crossing at his house, a game I fell in love with. I bought the game myself, which led me to Googling it a lot, and I found myself at the Animal Forest community. Posted some for the first day or two and visited every few months. One of those occasions, I found the advertisement for VT Talk. No one knew me, I didn't know them, but I still stuck around for the hell of it. Followed through its conflicts and hopped on the next train to Hyrule Forums just a year later. Three years later, here we still are, coming close to a dead community. This was one of the communities I was the closest to and felt like I was right at home. Now, I don't even know if this place will be here in a year, alive at least. I've been trying to get involved in more communities, on the Internet at least. I'm really a loner most of the time. I've been looking for communities on games I play... Team Fortress 2 specifically, but unfortunately never found a nice active forum yet. There were plenty of communities for Team Fortress Classic back in the day, two which I still follow ever since they moved on to other recent Valve games. TFC strived with many strong communities. Golden days of classic online FPS... Made me feel great because I was around. Now I'm just a gamer in the background, minding his own business and only there to play. I guess I became a loner because I felt weak when I was alone in RL, so I wanted to get used to it. That's why I never make videos with other players online, unless it's definitely required. It's why I don't feel comfortable with people hanging out in my room while I'm minding my own business... It might even be why I don't want a girlfriend at the moment. What can I say? I've grown to the point where I like being alone. Everyone has a place in nature they would love to be at any moment, whether it'd be on a mountain, a waterfall... A place that would have people waking up in a good mood after dreaming themselves being there. For me, it would be great to be on a hill watching a sunset or strolling through an open, wide forest, exactly like the one I used to stroll through through my first 10 years of being alive, before it was torn down. I've dreamed about it before, strolling through the woods that I used to go through all the time. I woke up so damn happy every time. It's funny how so many people in the world today underestimate dreams and how they could be used. Sure, it's a weird topic in casual chat, but fuck them if they got a problem with it. It could relieve so much stress, but people rather live life insecure. There are so many things out there that can make you feel great (lol, not drugs), but people would rather say, "No thanks," and continue with their miserable lives. I need some sleep, hopefully I'll have a mood-shifting dream. |
