fussy little bunbun

I chose myself today. I chose rest and healing. Because of that I get to write a little bit about FFXIV.

Never has a game kept me so connected to both it's story and the people in my life. In nowhere else but fighting games have I created such sincere and fond moments over a virtual space. I hate to say it but it really is a home away from home. A little garden I leave from time to time, for long stretches, but every time I return I feel a piece of myself again. Earthbound of all things taught me the importance of places that feel like home, no matter how unconventional they may feel.

My WOL always a reflection of how I'm wearing my hair nowadays, right down to the dye. My jobs and glams always ticking each box of my eclectic aesthetics and hobbies and expressions. It's been a means to grow so close to people and a lesson in how to grow in all my other relationships. A place to see myself as I am, not how anyone else perceives me, a truthful and empowering mirror...

There's always a part of me there. As trite as it fucking sounds. A piece of me will always be a fussy little bunbun...
