Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

So. About things....

So. About things....

I've been very inactive recently. Aside from my project Hidden, I can't remember the last time I commented on a thread. More than once, I've considered leaving. And yesterday, I almost did.

The other evening, my parents were leaving to take a walk. I was watching some videos online. They said to me, "While we're gone, you're not allowed to play games or watch videos. Why don't you write a story?" It was the last sentence that struck me. I had not written something for the joy of it in so long.. Once they left, I opened a program and tried to write. And I could not do it.

I only have myself to blame. In my absence of the Chatterbox, I've been neglecting my writing skill, and with it my creativity. If I had stayed here all those weeks, if I had nurtured that spark of writing, the mentioned scenario would never have happened.

I haven't written a new part for Hidden in almost half a year. I haven't been dedicated to a roleplay in longer. I've forgotten the feeling of a close-knit community, a place where people know, love, and support each other. 

I want to come back. I want to be the way I once was. I want to write again.

Thank you for helping me find who I really am. 

I love you.

Hello Scylla I don't know if you remember me, cause I used to not say much on CB. BUT WE MISSED YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! WELCOME BACK!!!!!! 

I'm very glad you came back!  Thank you for those words, they were really really nice to read. 

If you are still having trouble writing...I had a thought....maybe try turning the post that you just wrote into some sort of a poem. but only do it if you want to. If you make yourself write you will loose all the joy in it! 

WELCOME BACK SKYLLA! <3

I would never force myself to do something (except excercise XD)! I love to write and losing that skill would be heartbreaking to me. Except I hate writing poems. Intriguing suggestion, however.

Scylla! *hugs* Welcome back!

I've been kind of drifting away myself over the past few weeks. This is the spring before my grade goes off to high school, so I've had so much to do and so much to think about. I've been horribly inconsistent in my rps (I'm really sorry to everyone in the Evernaught City rp, Spirit Animals rp, and Ranger rp!) and haven't been writing much. I forgot how much I loved you guys :)

Anyways, I'm glad to have you back! I wish you the best of luck with your story, and I hope that you continue to stay awesome! Not that it would be possible for you not to :)

The friendship we experience on the CB is something that I believe is all to easy to take for granted. It's good to know I'm not the only one who's drifted.

I'm glad I'll be seeing you again! I am always so breathtaken by your posts, whether it's part of a story, a piece of art, or your opinion. Your words are so clear, but at the same time, beautiful. Like artwork.

Thank you so much! My goal in life is to create art, to create something that people will remember. It's good to know that my creations impacted you.

I'm so glad you decided to stay, Scylla. I don't have much time to type right now, but I'm really glad you've decided to stay. :)
