Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
I’m leaving.
Dear Chatterboxers,
It’s been such a wonderful time here on the CB. I’ve discovered so much, grew so much, and became so much. I got so many new ideas. I improved my writing, drawing, and typing, along with many other things. I have grown in the Chatterbox. I’ve stretched to the limits. I’ve pushed. I found who I am.
And now it’s time for me to leave.
I have mentioned before that I am a Slytherin. Ambitious. Many goals. Many dreams.
And I’m finally ready to go. To chase those dreams, to pursue them. To fly.
Before I found this website, I could flutter. Now, I can soar.
It’s hard to believe that a small forum in the corner of the Internet could give me such big wings.
I’ve been so dedicated to this place. It will always be my favorite. I spent hours upon hours, writing, chatting, and soaking up time. I became one of the most active CBers.
It was worth it, but I need the time back.
I’m so sorry.
My mission to change the world started with the Chatterbox. CBers, did I do this?
Did I leave at least a little mark on this website? Compliments? The ACG?
Scylla mentioned that if I leave, she leaves. Cho said that if Scylla leaves, she leaves. The last thing I want to do is start a chain reaction.
So I’m staying a CBer. Once a CBer, always a CBer. I’ll keep to one thread, my fanfiction thread in BaB. If you want to talk to me, go there. I’ll also stay for Indigo’s contest, because I’ve already let you guys down enough and because I really want to. XD
I’ll drop by once in awhile. I’ll come back on October 9th, when my twin anniversary with Scylla is. And I’ll definitely be here in 2019.
I’m allowing myself one more week on the CB. If Cloud wants, we’ll marry 8-Piece and Hèmǐn together.
This is so hard for me.
But I have willpower.

Farewell, Mei.
You will be missed.
I do not think that there is anything more to say than this: You will make your mark on this world.
(August 24, 2016 - 4:53 pm)
I'm sorry.
Goodbye.

Well, I hate to be the sheep here, but I'm on the verge of leaving as well. As you may have noticed, I've become increasingly inactive. This is partly due to the lag, but also because my family berates me for coming here. Especially my sister.
I'm finding less and less to do here, and more to do in other places. I've finally begun my ascent as an Animal Jam analyst, which will take up more of my time. I doubt my sister will treat this hobby any differently than the CB, however.
Yes, I know what you're thinking. Scylla, you're a leader! You're following Mei and leaving the CB! Oh woe! You're succumbing to peer pressure! Oh woe! Partly yes, which I'm ashamed of. But partly because I'm losing interest.
The persistent lag irritates me more than anything aforementioned, and the fact that the page actually shuts down from time to time from lack of response is disappointing.
I'll still return from time to time, but I'll only be active until Jarvis's worldbuilding challenge is over.
Don't cry for me.
Farewell, my friends.

DANGIT!

I'm sorry to see you go. I'll try not to get more emotional than that. But I feel like you've (sort of) (maybe) been my Cb friend, and no one else here is like you. I'll think of you sometimes. And I don't think you're a sheep.

Scylla, please please come back every once in a while. I'll miss your thoughtful and honest ideas and writing (do you have a nano? I'm she who shall not be named). I'm really sorry your sister isn't being supportive of your interest. I can't believe you're leaving, and URGH this post is a blubbering idiotic mess, but overall, I'll really miss you, Scylla. And come back on Valentine's Day 2019!!!!
(August 25, 2016 - 5:48 pm)
I'm on the verge of literally crying. I'll see you during NaNo? *hugs* I'll miss you, but I'm staying. I still have much to learn from here. From my friends. Will you join Coco's Warriors RP reboot if she makes it? She's may reboot it for her CBversery. *tear slides down cheek*
Farewell, mellon. I- you've been one of my best friends on here, especially at the beginning. I'll be praying for you. And if you need support, we're here. Always.
(August 27, 2016 - 7:06 am)
Won't be the same without you, Mei!
(August 24, 2016 - 5:14 pm)
WHAT THE HECK
HOLY SHIIIZZZ.
NOOOO
*sobs hysterically and grabs Mei in a suffocating hug*
BUT YOU CANT *stamps foot*
I understand what you mean. Whatever you have learned here, always hold the lessons in you heart, and never forget them. No matter how small, they can impact everything.
And I know we kinda had our feuds, but I will always look up for your courage. And I've learned a lot from you as well.
Always Remember Who You Are.
*waves goodbye*
Adieu, Mei-xue, adieu...
(August 24, 2016 - 5:55 pm)
WAIT WAIT WAIT I FORGOT TO ASK YOU SOMETHING!!!! *runs and waves Mei down*
What does the name "Fang-Lian" mean, and how do you pronounce it???
(August 24, 2016 - 6:08 pm)
Fong-Leean. "Lian" is one syllable.
Fang-Lian can have many different meanings, so I'll need to see the characters.

Dear Mei,
Hi. It's me. Brooklyn Newsie? You know me, right?
I'm trying to find the words, but I don't know what to say. I wish I could say that you were one of my best friends on the CB. I wish I could say that I knew you well. Well, as well as we can know each other on an internet site.
The thing is, Mei, I didn't know you well. And we weren't 'tight.' But ya know what? I admired you. Your posts were always so much fun to read, and I would always smile after one of them. And ya know why?
You're one of those 'one in a millions' on the CB, the kind that posts often, is a talented writer, and has a personality so interesting, you wonder what each day will bring. Amoung my first thoughts when I get on the CB is, "I wonder what Mei posted?" And that's because you are so amazing.
And that's why I'm close to tears. (And snapped at my mom when she told me it was time to go.) Because I didn't get to know this 'one in a million' CBer enough. So this week we're going to make up for that.
And "we" means me! Snyder Fan!
Goodbye, Mei-xue. We'll miss you so much.
CBer love and hugs from,
Brooklyn Newsie

*sniffles*
We've been through the good, the bad, and the munchkin together, Mei. We may have had some rough spots, but ... I'll miss you. I know what you mean by needing your time back, though. I-I ... I know this. You're right. In order for you to make the world a better place, you have to leave. But we're here for you. Whenever. Don't forget about us, okay? Again, I'll miss you.
*preforms the Yinali sign of respect*
See you.
(August 24, 2016 - 6:42 pm)
Goodspeed, Fiyero, if that isn't a curse in your language. (Who's gonna get that?)
You have made a difference. Every time I make a post I consider whether it will be offensive to any group of people. (Plus I like your ACGs. Maybe I'll start one in honor of you. Just a question-- what do you do when you reach Z?) You've been so eager and have tried to be the best CBer you can be. You've been the best you can be at EVERYTHING. Dedicated and ambitious. (EEYYYYY SLYTHERIN) I hope you do soar, because you deserve it. Just remember that it's sometimes okay to rest, glide low.
Goodbye, Slytherin Fairy! *waves white handkercheif*
(August 24, 2016 - 6:58 pm)
*screams*
Scylla, I'm only gonna say this because I have endured this over and over: Don't listen to them. This place is safe and fun, and just because your sister disapproves doesn't mean you should leave (that includes AJ as well). I've kinda...I've kinda learned to ignore them as you could say.
Sorry, I just get annoyed when people think their family is the best people in the world. Just remember that, they are here to guide you, but sometimes you must learn to fly on your own.
Andd.., this probably won't work, but if you try super hard, you can make them understand.
But: Good luck with everything. If you ever wanna talk you know where to reach me.
