The Age of Sims 2.8 - Part 24 - “Loss in Confidence"

Even when Gloria didn't have time to hang with friends, she never seemed to run out of people to be around. Some that new her would say that it was possible because she worked in Food Service for all of her adult life and where there was food, there were tons of people both stuck inside the kitchen and outside of it, but others that knew her from childhood knew that even when she was desperate for some alone time… she never could find it because most of the people around her just simply wouldn't allow it.

To be quiet and alone meant something must be wrong with her, she learned very early in life. Still, as insulted as she found their reactions to be, she knew that her place in the world was to be around food and with that came the expectablitiy that she would be surrounded by many others. So many others that a lot of her work days were filled with literally passing the frying pan to the next cook, chef, or baker in line so that things could run as smoothly and as quickly as possible so that a hungry customer wouldn't turn into a 'hangry' customer.

As for William, he had spent more time alone than he wanted to admit -- and most of the time spent was basically him just being lost in his thoughts.

He was never so introverted that he fit the stereotypes of scientists who spent their lives stuck behind a microscope or a telescope, but he had done a lot of overthinking and analzying when it came to just about every area of his life, and for so long, that it was no surprise he was becoming more and more mentally exhausted and taking random naps throughout the days.

He certainly had plenty to do even without his little nephew around, but the weather hadn't been all-that-friendly in recent months and so his crops hadn't done so well and harvesting was next to nothing, so gardening was out of the question -- and he hadn't really been in the headspace to advance himself in robotics… but napping only made him feel guilty that he could catch zome Z's while Gloria out there in the world doing exactly what he knew she was doing… along with something he didn't know she was doing.

Of course the truth about what he didn't know she was doing, was her spending most of her free time alone, while telling him she was at work. In those moments she would often stare into space, overthink the decisions she made -- insisting they must have been mistakes, while wondering what on Earth could go wrong next.

It wasn't the healthiest or the happiest state of mind to be in, but she was honestly afraid to voice her doubts and concerns because they just seemed to sound pointless every single time she tried to speak them -- even to herself.

It was like every shred of confidence she had, had literally fell away from her, piece by piece -- without even realizing that it was getting away from her until it sat somewhere in the distance, staring back at her… wondering if she was ever going to reach for it again.

She had to snap out of it, but avoiding everything she was supposed to be doing was a lot easier even though she was slowly losing the battle with being able to manage everything…

I think game studios should just release their character creators online. For the times when I don’t wanna play the whole game, just the lil dress up part

The Age of Sims 2.8 - Part 20 - “This Feeling Deep Down Inside"

That was her intention when she asked if she could come over. All she wanted to do was apologize for what she said to him when she visited his not-so-great mini vacation with his older brother in Granite Falls, but of course the way she started out made it seem like there was a reason for why she was acting the way she was… even though there was a reason, it wasn't one that actually made up for the fact that she had slammed a door in his face.

He was sensitive. At times just as much as she was and so when they started pecking at one another, it was always so short lived… but she also knew it always turned out that way because he always was the one to back down first. To see him stand his ground and match her nearly word for word only upset her more and so her apology hardly came through and then what followed was exactly what it was -- a complete shut down that only came when two people were mad at one another.

But she didn't feel very mad once she got back to her own place that night, and the morning after, and throughout her entire day she didn't either. Instead she was more upset than she had been -- even more upset than she was in Granite Falls, because while she was trying to navigate her feelings, she was wondering how he was handling his own feelings.

He never once told her to stop or to leave -- or not to follow where he went, while she threw it at him like it was an after-thought. It hadn't been the first time either. From the day they met she had kept her walls so far up, no matter how easily and slowly he tried to climb them -- he could never really get over it until she finally let him.

But what good was that now?

And what good was it to ignore his calls like he wouldn't eventually show up at her place and hang around outside until she let him in… she always did. She never once left him standing outside, so why go through the scenario time and time again?

What did it prove?

What did so much even prove?

She had to figure it out -- and fast, because there was just this feeling deep down inside that was literally starting to eat away at her.

Wolfgang J. Münch, 16, arrested for tagging on public property and running from the police (but not fast enough apparently)

thankfully his mom didn't answer her phone when they called and morgan's parents weren't home, so siobhan came to pick up both and didn't even tell parents, even though morgan was sure she'd do that with delight (siobhan loves and protects morgan more than morgan realizes), and oh gosh did siobhan give them both a piece of her mind on her car, saying that they're two idiots who don't care about their futures

he doesn't run fast enough because he's asthmatic, he can be fast but not for long (we can expect him to get caught again)

also now he's kinda proud of himself for being chased and caught by the police, like he's some misunderstood main hero
