It's funny how simply going to one certain forum and just perusing the threads posted there can put me in a nearly euphoric state of mind. But one has to wonder...at what point will i find the courage to step forward and make myself (or at least this entity called "Foxborn") known to the group of potential peers waiting there. Am I doomed to forever lurk deep within the shadows of anonymity, or will I step out into the silvery moonlight and present myself to this group of names who profess similar attitudes towards life? (for better or for worse)
And if I do step out, am recognized and then accepted, what will come of it? Will I learn that one secret that seems to have been eluding my grasp for 24 years now? And if so, once learned, will i wish it unlearned? Or upon being swept up in their ranks, will i find this group too are nothing but masks? Mere lumps of limestone, writing "star" on their chests with a magic marker and thinking they shine with brilliance? Or will i find that I'm the sedimentary rock with the erroneous label?
Will i form new relations with these people? Adding new allies, rivals, and sub-characters to the story of my life, or will my flighty nature cause me to lose interest, becoming "that guy" who appeared suddenly, but just as quickly faded back into anonymity.
Oh well. All these are just merely the random musings of my mind late on this autumn day, recorded here for Goddess-knows-what reason. Ignore it if you wish, or comment if it tickles your fancy, but these random posts will not stop, because you never know how anything will affect different people...even people you thought weren't paying attention, or you didn't know exist.
But you rarely have an impact on anyone if you're always silent.
