Probably my last moment here

Life is a jerk, isn't it? It can throw problems at you just to make it worse than it already is, and as if it wasn't enough, it throws another situation. I know, there are way too many sad topics in serious discussion, talks about real life problems, and other stuff of this kind, but I have to post that.

Well, I'll not enter into further details. A lot of events happened recently, and I'll probably have to change away from my current home. Not only this, but I'll probably never be able to access a computer in a very long time.

The biggest problem for me isn't the part about changing my home, I'm even glad about this, because I never liked this place, but the fact I'll not be able to access a computer.

Why is the computer so important for me? I have no friends in real life. That's right. Some time ago I cut all my friendships, because they weren't exactly what you can call "friends". In situations like that, I had no place to hide, nor anyone to talk with. The computer saved me many, and many times in times like that. Specially this community.

This is an amazing place. I knew lots of nice people here, knew two amazing games that could aways entertain me, no matter how many times I played them. This site helped me in every kind of situation you can imagine.

Before going, I'll try to do a last level. Level designing is my passion. The two level designers we have here are some of the most fun I have ever experienced, and probably the most open too. And I feel I still need to leave something people can actually remember.

I'd also like to thank you all. Every single of you. Those who were my friends, those who I barely talked with, or those who I never talked with. I'd really like to spend more time with you. I still have a week and a half until I go away, so, if you want to talk with me, go ahead.

Thanks Runouw.

I'm not sure if I was ever considered a friend, but either way, it'll be sad to see you go. You're a great member, a great level designer, and I hope things will improve for you in real life...my home life isn't great soo...I sorta understand how this might feel.

I'm no good at goodbyes tbh, so if its okay with you I might just leave it there, haha.

For once, a topic that I can actually respond to.
But all I can say is, because I'm not the best person at this type of thing... bye. You're a pretty cool guy, and no matter how far away you are from being able to contact us nothing will change that. Good luck out there, man.

The goodbyes are always the worst thing... I really never know what to say, but you were an awesome guy man. I hope you will get some opportunity to contact with us in the future. And, sorry to hear what you had to go through, here's hoping that life will turn out better wherever you're going, (you kinda remind me of myself, as selfish(?) as that sounds)there's always hope. Anyways, thanks for the awesome time, and until next time (there WILL be a next time), take care.

Inside this fluid and impermanent world, there is no end unaccompanied by a new beginning. And from the greatest transitions we strive through, we craft history.

But when attitude collapses to craft an atmosphere of apparent stillness, the contemporary world is born.

As much as I may be a hypocrite while saying this, a change for the better can only begin if we start it with ourselves. Only then can we ensure it will be perpetuated.

As Denis Oliveira once sang:
The world is spinning but you remain the same,
You know, revolution isn't your name.

There is still some actual music beyond our authentic cultural roots down here, you know.

I'm not saying you need as many people as possible on today's reality, however. Impersonating a character for the sake of popularity can be extremely costly, but loneliness isn't a good path on the long run either.

With this issue of yours, and so many others out there we learn about on our way toward adulthood, finding and keeping the perfect balance is the best answer.

Try to make a handful of friends, but some good ones. You'll need them as much as they might need someone else someday.

If you feel lost, you don't have to start planning out complex deviations. Words are more than enough to brighten one's day, and a picture is the shortest path towards remembrance.

Don't rely on intermediates. Living or legacy, esoteric symbol or widely praised.

Lastly, true death does only arrive when all memories fade away.

But as long as we stand, young and volatile, you will be remembered.

You've crafted companions out of complete strangers, all while behind the shroud of anonimity.

Now lift that mask, go out there and ♥♥♥♥ do the same.

May the winds be on your side as often as possible.

You are considered a friend yep. Not only a good friend, but I also respect you a lot, specially your designing style. Also, it seems real life is evil with everyone at some point of the life.

There will be next time man, there must be next time. I'll find a way to keep contact with you all. I need to.

Well, gotta admit I'm kinda selfish sometimes yep. But that's no problem. Everyone is a little bit at some point, right?

Thanks. The whole evolving is something I must credit this forums. In real life, I also improved a lot since I started to improve here. My english is one example. All the english I learned comes from this forums.

It's going to be hard, but it's not like some impossible task, it's something I can surely do. I'll try to find friends, because as you said, loneliness is not a good way either.

The nice thing about friends is that they can stay friends even years later. :p

I don't have a whole lot to say, but you're a hell of a guy. It's been fun working with and alongside you, in things like Level Designer contests, forum games, even Survivor, and things will definitely be different without you. That being said, if you ever drop by from a library or borrowed computer or whatever, we'd love to see you again. Good luck man.

Yeah- I have to say I think it's great that you won an LDC only days before any of this crap happened. Hopefully this means you'll have some great memories to take away, and like Konradix said, there WILL be a next time I hope. :P
