[ Um.

Hm, this sure is a post. ]

I kind of have some of the same issues here, but. . . is there any particular reason why nobody would want to moonlace with you? I mean, if you don't moonlace - even if it's base levels - you can die, you know.

[YEAH. sorry to be a downer! he just did not know where else to turn]

i hold hands and stuff so i dont die
but it sure would be nice to move beyond that
maybe get a bit of extra spending money
i just havent been making good connections i guess

[ No reason to hide behind anon, really. The post worries her. It sounds quite urgent to her. ]

Dear anonymous... I cannot answer that, but if you really need moonlacing I am definitely available and ready to help you the best I can!

still anonymous

[immature]

[oh... is that... that username is...]

but you dont even know who i am
youre willing to offer yourself just like that?

I don't think there's a point to worrying about heavy stuff like having a purpose too much. Why not just think about what you want to do and then give it a try? 'Seize your fate with your own hands', or something like that. I spent a lot of time on my own before, and my philosophy was to pretty much live for myself and put doing the things that satisfied me first.

But it sounds like you're not completely on your own, though. Do your friends not moonlace with you to help you out? Or is it more that you don't wanna rely on them too much for that kind of thing?

i think its more like i just dont know what i wanna do while im here
or maybe what i wanna do is have more friends or a moonlace partner
im not sure thats everything though
the friends i do have i dont see often enough to just feel like asking them to moonlace with me
its weird
maybe im just worried about things going wrong
i hate that moonlacing is such a big deal because theres a lot of other good things about this place
but i guess in the end what i want is to just find a way back home
its not like im doing anyone any favors by being here

I'm sorry you're feeling that way.

For whatever it may be worth, when I first arrived I was very uncomfortable with the whole idea of moonlacing. I was lucky in that a lot of people from my world that I knew were already here, but I still felt like I shouldn't be here as I'm not a very... affectionate person normally.

I've since gotten better about that thanks to someone I met my first day here.

Back home we were all involved in something rather intense, so I suppose this is almost a vacation for us, but I fully understand wanting to feel like you have a purpose.

I'm afraid I can't really help there, but I would gladly extend a hand in friendship if you'd like.

thanks for sharing your story
i appreciate it
back home i didnt have a large purpose or anything but i did go to school
i have a big family so going back to my own apartment seems so weird since im alone
guess i just let my thoughts get away from me
anyway id be glad to make more friends
when i feel better i might just message you if thats cool

[nipzips]

you okay dude

sounding kinda depressed there

friends aren't hard to make unless you're weird ... and if you're looking for a gf you just gotta get out there

anonymous

[immature]

i guess i am depressed a little
as far as being weird goes back home i was kinda weird?
but what was holding me back there isnt here so i should be normal
maybe im too normal now

[wearingguess]

Is there a particular reason why you would need to have a "purpose" here?
Also, why doesn't anyone want to moonlace with you?

[immature]

dont most people want a purpose?
im not moonlacing much aside from holding hands
so i cant imagine im helping the prismals
theres like no reason for me to be here

[kingfuckboy]

i feel like if you feel lost that it means you need to find new things to do

try new things i guess?

with new things you can meet new people and make friends!

[immature]

new things huh
that might be a start
lately ive just been going to the arcade

un: mickeymouse

[getstoned]

shit sucks, not everyone is equipped being suddenly uprooted
it's easy to say to just go out and meet people, it's easier for some than it is for others
but really it's the only advice there is, you just gotta put yourself out there

if you need help with moonlacing or just need someone to have fun with i'm willing to help out
shit around here gets so crazy and we could all do with just some chill time y'know?

[immature]

why is your username mickeymouse
are you the real mickeymouse
this place brings in people from all over
all kinds of universes
i gotta know before we continue this conversation if im talking to a legend

I feel like the natives have made our main purpose here pretty obvious by this point. Beyond that, we're free to do pretty much whatever we want, at least as far as I've seen.

I might not be the best at giving advice, but you could start by thinking about what you'd be doing if you were home. Sure, this place isn't home for any of us, but it's been a mostly positive experience so far, and it seems like the type of situation where you get as much as you put in.

As for making connections, maybe focus a little less on that and a little more on what you're doing, and let people see you being content. It might help.

You occupy your time with the shit that interests you to pass the time, and find something to offer prospective moonlacing partners. Moonlacing benefits you and them on its own, but they might need extra incentive.

text; anonymous

[immature]

wait
offer something for moonlacing
you mean like money?
wouldnt that be prostitution?

UN: oceangem

[riptidequeen]

I can kind of get how you feel, nameless person, but you can't let things keep you down. Something worse could always happen to you.

And why does moonlacing have to be sexual? I do fine holding hands and such.

anonymous

[immature]

sure something worse could always happen
but it sure seems rough right now
i hold hands a lot and sometimes get a hug but idk
i kinda want more

un: undyingsoul

[necroyalty]

I have had a purpose thrust upon me before, and while I have accepted my place, others in that precise set of circumstances have grown to resent their lack of choice.

How old are you? If you are young, then such feelings are normal. There is no shame in trying to discover what you want for yourself.

Pardon me for asking you another question that's likely highly personal, but how much experience do you have in matters of the heart?

[immature]

first question: im 18
i was about to participate in my high school graduation when i was brought here
second question: i think like zero? there was a cute girl back home i kinda liked but she is more my friend than anything else
ive only ever been close to my family and i love them
