oh holy maccaroniiiii this place... so much time has gone by and I haven't let anything be heard from me here, I should be ashamed. Or should I? Does anyone even remember me?

I still hold this place dearly in my mind, I have billions of good memories connected to TEF, it's incredible. Without you, I would have never realized that I have at least the mimicry of an ability to draw. All of you, with your amazing talents and wonderful encouragement even on pictures that when I look back at them now, I just want to hide somewhere and kill the roots before they breed. Slightly exaggerating here, but you get my point!

I don't know if I'm yet able to return or anything of that sort. I've still got two months of my exchange year left - because 8 months ago I froze my German highschool time for one year and just went to another country called Finland for 11 months, to live in a Finnish host family, go to Finnish "lukio" = highschool, not seeing my German family and friends for the same time, surrounded by strange people and an even stranger and unknown language and TADA, here I am.
I speak Finnish now, quite decently, have had amazing times and incredibly hard times and found friends for life and just had an unforgettable experience which isn't even over yet. Seriously, if some of you ever get the chance to do an exchange year or something of these sorts - go ahead and do it.

Just a short story about the history of my fawn, Poppy. Hope im putting this in the right spot lol.

My parents.

They werent... from here. Wherever here is. For all I remember is waking up here, and hearing my mothers voice beside me.
My mother. Her voice was so sweet, so gentle. So caring and loving.
My father. I can remember his voice as well. His voice, though it was only a gentle rumble, was protective and strangely gentle as well.

I can still remember their voices. It was the only time I heard them speak, or close to it.
"Do not fret, my little Poppy. We must go, but we will come back for you one day."

Poppies.

Its the flower I was named for. The first thing I remember was the sweet smell of poppies, and the bright purple hue that shone down on to my pelt. Though it means so much more.
Poppy flowers are the only memory I have of my family, my kin. Its what I saw as they promised to come back.

I dont even know what my parents looked like.

In the days after my birth, I wandered the forest, my home, meeting young and old deers alike. I loved to explore, and I loved making friends, but a certain hole in my chest refused to be filled up. It was a scent. My mothers.

Then I realized. The poppies.

If anyone asks about the crown of flowers of my head, they will get the same answer. I like the way they look and smell. Which I do.

I wonder where they are now.

Are they out there, missing me? The scary thing is, Im forgetting to remember.

I know, deep within my heart, that I cannot forgot them. I may be young amd naive, but I will not forget the ones who loved me, who left me here.

The forest is a safe place.

I wonder, if they do come back, will I have to leave? I love the forest, and I already have friends.

I dont know much yet. Im still a fawn, after all. I do know this, though.
If anyone asks about my parents, I will aay that theyre away, but theyll be back soon.

Soon.

Until then, ill enjoy my life here.

Under cut for size~

Hello!

It´s a new week and I hope it will bring many good things.
But I will not start to play TEF this week or next week.
I hope you all enjoy the forest and have fun.
See you when I can come back to TEF!

I’ve got something I’ve been worrying about for a while, and rather than just running away, I thought I’d share it with the ones I’m worried about. ^_^”

Today was Chevehne's first day out in TEF. Being a truly curious young fawn, it was inevitable that each day she became quite the pest. Despite being a sweet little darling, Chevehne tends to stray off into her own little world. She doesn't give much of a care about personal space, and due to the coincidence of the birth today, she was very much underfoot for awhile.



Early this morning, Chevehne went romping around the forest and came to meet two lovely fawns who were willing to dance with her. We had quite the time spinning in circles to the music. When that small celebration (no reason needed to dance, eh?) was over, Chevehne ventured off to the bridge for a nap, only to awake minutes later when she remembered that the birth was happening. She bounded off to the location and stumbled upon a gorgeous white deer, who she couldn't help but admire for a few minutes. Anyone know who that is?
She arrived at the place, and was immediately snooping around, bugging the older deer. She was constantly led off and away, but, with her curious nature, couldn't help but stay close. Eventually, she laid down and settled a few feet off, and is still sleeping peacefully there ^.^
