TheFriendlyVEGAN Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Hi, my name is raf, I currently live in Belgium, but will likely move to Sweden when the corona lockdown here settles down. I’m 34 years old. I suffer from multiple mental disorders and psychological issues, including severe chronic depression and Asperger’s syndrome. I am very open about my mental health and my desire for suicide. I’m an advocate for euthanasia for mental illness. I am a vegan for ethical reasons. I don’t believe that animals should suffer for a few minutes of taste. I’m an animal rights activist and volunteer for several animal rights organisations, both locally in Belgium as internationally. I like to discuss veganism and animal rights with people. That doesn’t mean that I will force you to go vegan, I can’t do that, I can only inform you. What you end up doing with the information, is up to you. I’d be happy to answer serious questions about veganism and a plant-based diet. Officially, I am handicapped. But I like to call myself an artist. I write and play music (drums, guitar, piano, ...), I paint, write stories and poetry. I’m a tailor and a photographer. I have created many works, but I struggle with stage fright and very low self-esteem, so I don’t do much with what I created. I’m still looking for ways to deal with that, to get past that, and share my works with “the world”. I played Enemy Territory a long time ago, when it was still kinda new, I think. I was in an international clan and played competitions. I was known for my panzerfaust. When the clan disbanded, I also quit playing. I get attached easily (one of my mental issues; on the Beginners 2 server, there are already some people that I’m quite fond of. I don’t even have to know people to get attached to them, which is frustrating and difficult), and when the group went their own way, it was hard to stay in touch with some of them, and that caused mental anguish. This is one of the reasons why I’m living a very isolated life,but that doesn’t mean that I enjoy the isolation. Anyway, a few weeks ago, I started playing ET again. I still suck with a machine gun, which is why I turn to heavy weapons, an airstrike calling field ops or a grenade launching engineer; it’s one of the few times I stand a chance. The Beginners 2 server was the third server that I tried, and for some reason I was compelled to stay. The teamwork that I saw, the friendliness, ... so, my thanks to Fearless Assassins and the players on the Beginners 2 server, for letting me enjoy the game.
