Don't mind me; just your friendly neighborhood space-dog, come to get a fresh start. I'm hoping to find some friends and fun, like anyone else. Life's been rough and I'd like to fantasize about that which may yet be with some fellow creative minds.
I like people, and I'm an optimist; I like worlds where things aren't so brutal or edgy. I like science and ethics and society, even if there's included some pure fantastic elements. But I'm also confoundingly inconsistent and obnoxiously particular, and I wish to learn how to overcome that.
Roleplay is a passion ingrained deep into my muse, but one I've forgotten how to love. I'm excited to roleplay and excited to orchestrate and facilitate, but the act has lost its luster in my eyes. I'm conflicted, because I want to roleplay, but I'm overcome with dread whenever I have roleplay to do.
And that's part of why I'm here. I hope some of you can show me the light of my childhood, and help bring to my eyes again the same persistent glee I've known only in the distant past.

That's just it: The dread makes no sense to me. The symptom is laziness, but I don't think that's the root of the problem. I love to enable roleplay for others, and I still enjoy roleplaying in theory, and I have enjoyed the act of roleplaying in the past.
But for some reason when I've finally written that first scene or voiced that first session, the next is a chore. It's not as if I've gotten what I want out of it — there's so much more that I want to do yet — and I hope it's not because I'm so fickle it only takes a day for my muse to die out.
This is something I've fought with for years, now. I enjoyed being a staff member on another big roleplaying forum for most of that time, because I reckoned I could at least spend my enthusiasm making roleplay easier for others if I couldn't enjoy it first-hand, but each time I tried rekindling the flame, I encountered this same issue time and time again.

Hello! Welcome to RPR! There are a lot of friendly people on this site, so you can easily be able to fit in! ^.^ I'm glad you have taken an interest to us!
I'm glad you have all been so welcoming. I'm hope I will grow to love this community as much as you.
Oh my, I'm not sure at all what to suggest regarding that dread! It sounds like there's some deeper block or aversion behind it, but I can't begin to guess its root.
Thank you for offering your advice anyways. I hope to find my way back into the light regarding this, and you've given me some support that will certainly help my confidence as I work through this.
