Update on me

Hi everyone. It’s been a bit since I’ve posted on the forums. I love the PZ community very much you guys have welcomed me with open arms. I have been away for a bit because a major life change has happened for me. My long three tear relationship came to an end at the end of January. Mentally I have not been ok and i am trying to take time for myself right now. I’ve had extremely dark moments and I’ve had others that have been like I’m discovering a new version of myself. It’s been a roller coaster and I’m trying to learn to be patient and let go slowly in my life. I am learning to gain my self love back and not care so much what others opinions of me are.

I haven’t been playing planet zoo (or many other video games for that matter) recently. For some reason all the things I used to love just don’t bring me the same joy right now. I am hopeful for the future but again I need my time. Thank you to all the great people in the community I have met. I hope I can be back here soon. I’m sorry if this post sounded dramatic I just thought I needed to update my beloved community.

Hey, only my second post here as I'm new, so unfortunately I haven't seen much of your posts. But this resonated with me.

I'm not going to say I'm in the same situation, because everyome is different, and I know some random person saying they know how you feel isn't that much comfort either, but I will just say I understand as I'm going through the same process. About the same time as you, I split with my partner of 3.5 years and realised how much of an upheaval it is. I always talked to her about PZ and she was always interested in what I'd been doing. I dedicated part of my park to her, using props and photos to represent her in game. I haven't had the guts to go on yet as I know thatll bring floods of things back, but I think I need to soon.

Either way, what I mean to say, is hopefully you start to feel better soon, and that the dark times become lighter, and less impacting, and although I'm new here, I'm happy to chat if you need to rant to a stranger.

Yea I did the same with my franchise and little details so I definitely resonate with you on that end thank you so much for sharing it helps knowing someone is going through something very similar. It’s the same on my end if you need to talk

Thank you too. It can be difficult to talk to people and sometimes a stranger is a bit easier too. When I get back on I'll start sharing some bits here and look forward to seeing some bits from you too.

Hello, SanRazo. I know I haven't been here much since I've retired (from the forums, that is). But when I casually was checking any updates about PZ, I noticed this.

I'm very sorry about whatever happened to you. I truly don't know what it feels like because I've never been in a relationship, but I do know the feeling of losing somebody you love.
I.hope this'll help: I lost my uncle and grandfather last year, and also I lost a dog that I've had for 8 years (the 1st pet of mine that died). I've dealt with stress all of 2021.

But, my family has helped me, along with my wonderful best friend (she's always there for me and has helped me from falling), along with many other blessings I've received.
Try talking to a friend, a family member even. It'll do wonders.

Anyways, hopefully all goes well, and I also wish that everybody else who's going through tough times, stay strong, and don't give up.
Something that's also helped me is observing nature and seeing how everything is perfectly designed amd created to do exactly what it's supposed to do, no matter how insignificant it may be. Nature is wonderful and can really surprise you, as it has me

Life can be a bit crazy and wild and not always in a good way. But those things are temporary, really, even if it doesn't seem like it. In those times it's extra important to be sure you're taking care of yourself. Keep persevering and life will show you the good it has in store. Heh, sometimes I think I need to take my own advice.

I do understand about not finding as much joy in things. I had a hard time with that last year. With time, things are slowly coming back from the grey, but that doesn't mean that every day is "great". Sometimes you just have to gently push yourself to do the things you enjoyed at one time. The good feelings will most likely come back without there even being a realization that they have.

I agree with the first part of that sentence. And with the second part: It's funny seeing that written out, as I noticed that too very often.
I went through a huge dissapointment / hurt on tuesday and when I mass produced card backgrounds yesterday and completley lost myself in the process, I "came back" and realized that the intense hurt already let to a step forward in a problematic situation that was ongoiong for almost a decade. Sometimes the change comes over night. AND that I could enjoy my hobby again.

I understand, whenever I am down I don't feel like playing either and I definitely don't have inspiration to build stuff. I wish you the best and that within time, you will get back and enjoy the game.
