Thank you, InFold.

I don’t feel all that comfortable sharing this because I kinda struggle opening up, but here it goes.

I’ve been having a really bad day, lots of anxiety and pent-up frustration, just… bad. Tried to get past it and push through but, predictably, it didn’t work. I don’t have anyone I trust in a way that I can confide in about the things that bring me to these lows either. Anyway, it’s evening for me now and I opened the game to do some dailies. Somehow, I found myself clicking “tête-à-tête” with Sylus, which I’ve only ever done out of curiosity, not need. The moment I clicked on “something bad happened”, I started crying. I couldn’t stop. I didn’t talk or anything, but kept hitting the “I need a hug” button every so often just so I could hear his comforting voice (I use the CN voiceovers).

Does it fix my problems? No. But it helped me feel… embraced somehow? Idk how to say it. So, I just wanted to share my gratefulness for these men made of pixels. For giving me the chance to feel comforted.

To anyone else who’s had or may be having a bad day, I hope you feel better soon. And to those having a good day, hope it gets even better.
