    Oh no I can't say I've had to worry about that. Is it an actual concern you have or just a nightmare?

    Today, comparatively, has been a pretty good day. School wasn't very hard, it's Friday, I had fun at youth group.

    I am pretty stressed out about stuff I have to do over the weekend, though. I'm guessing that this isn't the start of an upwards trend.

       It's weird, like I can feel happy in a moment, but otherwise I don't.

      I feel this

      I think it's important to remember that it's okay to feel down sometimes, and it's okay to take a break from the world and just focus on yourself. Self-care is important, even if it's just taking a few minutes each day to do something you enjoy.

      Also it's important to be patient with yourself. It's not easy to feel happy all the time, and it's totally normal to have days where you don't feel like yourself. It's okay to take it slow and just focus on getting through the day.

      Take care of yourself, and don't hesitate to reach out when you need it. We're here for you

      ...

      Hopefully that made sense. Hard stuff for a 1AM brain :P

      Goodnight!

      My problem is that it feels like every day. And sometimes it's hard to do things I enjoy.

      I think it's worst at night, which is kind of scary to me for reasons I don't think I'll go into.

    Are you able to get it?
  4. The Aspiring Archivist
    That was a joke. Of course I would, though it doesn't seem very practical. But the garlic bread thing applies to many social gatherings I go to.
  5. The Aspiring Archivist
    If I could just go and buy garlic bread, I wouldn't be coming to this in the first place. I'd stay at my house, eating garlic bread.
  6. The Aspiring Archivist
    What- no! The garlic bread is for me, not from me!

    I kind of want to make an RP.

    But it sounds hard.

      If you're writing a book, yes.

      In an RP? It can be good to have those kinds of things defined, but you don't have to.

      Important thing to remember is that a person's investment in an RP is usually proportional to the amount of creation they've done for it. So if you don't leave room for player creativity, it will be harder to grab people's attention.

      I don't know. I might just try to develop one city or area or so, but that's still hard.

      Would it be better to let the players choose the magic? I feel like the only problem with that might be one of balancing.

      Worldbuilding's a lot easier with someone to bounce ideas off of (if more fraught with potential conflicts).

      There are a lot of ways to deal with balancing. Probably the simplest is just asking "don't be too OP" and working with people to keep within the limits you have in mind.

      As a side note, I've been thinking of trying out a new style where the players have more or less complete control over their characters, but not the world. I don't know if that would fit well with what you have in mind, but it is something I would be invested in.

    There had better be garlic bread.

    TAAron growled, and began tapping Zinc to think faster. He didn't have as much as he would have liked, but it would have to do. He began advancing towards the figure with dagger in hand. "You should probably stay back." TAAron quickly dropped to the ground with a coin, then Pushed it behind him with all of his force, sending him skidding beneath the sickles. He took a shot at the creature's legs. @The Wandering Wizard

    Why do you assume you're the smartest in the room? x3
  11. The Aspiring Archivist
    Haha I'm doing it anyway. You're a cool person and a great roleplayer. You also seem genuinely caring and kind. You appear to be struggling a lot with self-worth, but I assure you, you matter a lot. You aren't stupid or annoying for sharing your problems. In fact, sharing when you feel down is a very smart thing to do, and no one should think less of you for it. Take care of yourself. *hugs*
  12. The Aspiring Archivist
    TAAron inhaled sharply, and immediately sent out a flurry of coins against the creature.
  13. The Aspiring Archivist
    "No. We'll fail, in the end. I think I see that now. This Kaos is too powerful for us to put up a fight for much longer."
  14. The Aspiring Archivist
    "Maybe it would be best if you found a place to hide..."
  15. The Aspiring Archivist
    "I honestly don't know. I..." TAAron noticed the air warping. "What is that?"
  16. The Aspiring Archivist
    "What can we do? The fight is already on, and I don't have nearly as much power as Thaidakar or Lark. I might just end up getting killed."
  17. The Aspiring Archivist
    "It could be a trick. Don't trust her."
  18. The Aspiring Archivist
    TAAron cautiously approached the two. "What's going on? You shouldn't be near her, she's corrupted." @The Bookwyrm

    Today someone asked how I was,

    And I said "alright" like before.

    Lately my thoughts start to fuzz.

    My introspection no more.

     

    I don't know for sure if it's true,

    These dozens of my self-perceptions.

    No urgency seems to come through

    From layers of doubt and depression.

     

    Is all that I'm saying a lie?

    Do I bother for something that's blurry?

    I don't know if I want to die

    Or if there's no true cause for my worry.

     

     

    How do I speak?

    Please someone remind me.

    The future is bleak,

    I left it behind me.

     

    I need to cry,

    but the tears never flow.

    Don't keep standing by,

    It's all just a show.

      I think Symph is refering to suicide. Which is was I was refering to as the alternative.

      I don't imagine it'll ever come to that. Like I said, I could be wrong, And I have support available, I just need to make myself get it. I don't want you all to worry about that.

      I loved that, Aspiring. 

      It's a good poem.

      It describes a mood I sometimes have too well...

    I'll take the garlic bread.

    Being in grief is not just a feeling. More like a state, of mind or of being. It's hard to explain why the hurt is so bad, and why when you're grieving you're more than just sad. Sometimes it feels like each thing in each moment Is missing some sort of essential component. The thing that is lost that throws you asunder, Like waves in a pond where a stone just went under. As much as it hurts, time can start to heal. The time might be long, and you might never feel Quite right when you recognize where they had been. Don't feel like you need to start lifting your chin. *hugs*

    "I'm sorry this happened to you, Shark."
  23. The Aspiring Archivist
    "Woah. Since when could you do that?"
  24. The Aspiring Archivist
    "I'm not okay. I... don't know what to feel. We're just going to have to fight."
  25. The Aspiring Archivist
    "He killed... Why? How?" "I don't know."
