I saw a herd of deer today. Seems strange, everyone here normally doesn't herd, only during the rut..
I don't believe I'd ever seen these deer before. They all looked the same, kept to each other, followed a leader..
like back at home. No. No.. that wasn't home. They weren't home.. my home is here.
They did not care about me. They brought me here, abandoned me. What a mistake they made.
This is the best home I could ever have.

But why do I still wonder how they are? My real parents...

I saw a herd of deer today in the distance, as I lay in the birch. At first I was elated, I thought my family had come to rescue me. I raced down the hill, only to find that these deer were much larger than I..and looked nothing like my own herd.
Then I remembered that it was my own herd that had driven me away in the first place. Why I was here.. I had stumbled upon this place in my exile. In my short time here, I had never seen a herd. This was the first, and even the other deer in this forest seemed a bit puzzled by them. Do the deer not herd in this forest? I have seen small groups but none acting like a herd. I'm afraid I won't fit in here, if I don't learn how to act like everyone soon..

I miss my family..


just some little things that went through my head when I saw the endless herd today. You can learn a bit more about Umi on my directory, as she doesn't have a profile yet.
