When I was playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons today, I was talking to people. I found basically everyone except for Cherry. Cherry is my favorite. I didn't want to look hard at first, but fast forward a few hours, I did. I looked everywhere. No sign of her. Not in her house. I start to get worried.
So I write everyone letters. "Wanted Dead Or Alive: Cherry". I wanted to be over-dramatic in my letters. While doing so, I turned on the waterworks. I was bawling because I thought she was dead. I know that villagers in Animal Crossing don't die, but I did feel like after going so long without me, she'd leave my place as a form of protest.
I thought about how much I'd miss her cute and smooth singing, her big sister attitude, and her rock n' roll vibes.
After writing my letters, I got some recipes I already had. I decided to go to Nook's Cranny to sell them.
And who the fuck do I see there?
Cherry.
That's right. CHERRY!
I cried even harder when I found her, knowing that everything is going to be okay.
My dad was like "Oh come on, it's just a damn game!" the entire time. Noticing the rain running down my face, as a result of uncontrollable PMS. When I'm on my period, I often cry for no reason. Crying just feels good. Sometimes when I want to cry (like in situations of tragedy), I can't. And so, I often cry over the little things. I become emotionally attached to everything.
I also learned that a lot of people have gone through the same thing, eventually finding that villager.
