Saying Goodbye
So.
It’s been a long time.
Or so it seems to me.
For nearly two years l’ve been a part of this place.
But you don’t care about that, do you? No, you want to know what the title of this thread implies.
Because…..
Yes, l am leaving.
Shush. Let me explain.
See, l've been thinking about this for a ridiculously long amount of time, nearly a year at least. It probably seems very out of the blue to you, but it’s not. This site simply isn’t fun for me--hasn’t been for a long while. I’ve known for a very long time that l was going to leave, that there wasn’t a whole lot of use in sticking around.
But l stayed in spite of it all. I stayed for those good old days and all of the people who have left, all of the people that l used to know. But in the end you gotta realize that days are gone and those people are gone and in the end, the only reason l'm staying here is because of some weird sort of nostalgia. This place brings no joy to me any longer, l am sad to say. It isn’t you, it’s me. I've changed. I’ve moved on. And now it’s time to go. I ain't feelin’ the love anymore.
Don’t feel sorry for me, don’t feel sorry for yourself. This was going to happen sooner or later. I don’t belong here any longer. I did, perhaps, a long time ago, but that time is gone. This place doesn’t belong to me any longer. It’s yours. It’s not for that past. It’s for the future.
Keeping this short--walls of nostalgic text aren’t fun to through anyways. Throwing out a general message to everyone, though it isn’t less special because your name isn’t on it, it’s for you and don’t you forget that.
Just--thank you. Thank you. For everything. All of you have been a huge part of my life for the past two years, for a part of my life where l thought l was falling apart. You all are wonderful people. Don’t forget it. And when the world comes knocking at your door to tell you what a loser you are, throw lemons at it because l told you different and you know better.
Go light the world on fire. Just because you can.
*throws confetti*
Good-bye.
But good-byes are never forever.
I’ll be back.
Someday.

Farewel, SD, but remember Valentine's Day, 2019!

Goodbye Shadow. We'll miss you, but I understand why you're leaving. I've been feeling a tug toward leaving myself, since I'm hardly on anymore, but that is a different matter. You've been a great presence on the CB, and you will be sorely missed. In the words of one of the characters in Romeo and Juliet (I can't remember which), "Parting is such sweet sorrow." That's probably highly paraphrased. No matter. Hopefully we'll see you Valetines 2019!

l'll miss you.
On an unrelated note, but l've been wanting to tell you this for forever, you know how you said l should read some P.G. Wodehouse? l did. l also think l bonded with one of my ski coaches over them because she liked Wodehouse.
Bye! See you in 2019!

Bye, Shadow Dragon. *Hugs for a million years*
I hope you have a great life! See you on Valentines day in two years.

Goodbye, Shadow. We'll miss you! *hugs* I'm glad I'll be able to keep in touch through NaNo

Goodbye, Shadow Dragon. You probably didn't really know me outside of EVIL's revenge, but I want you to know that I'll miss you a lot. You are an incredible, amazing writer, with a clever sense of humor. I absolutely loved writing with you on the EVIL's revenge project. You write dramatically and emotionally, so passionately. When you write for Embry I can almost feel your words, feel them in my heart. I miss EVIL's revenge.
I hope you visit in 2019. I look forward to seeing you then. And I'll remember that, about throwing lemons at the world. It's good advice. I'll miss you, Shadow Dragon. Don't forget us.

Can't say that l know you terribly well either, but l do know that you are wonderful.
l won't forget you all, not now, not ever.
Stay awesome ;)

Bye Shadow Dragon. PLEASE come back occasionally! (I'm also a bit guilty of inactivity....)
(February 27, 2017 - 3:34 pm)
Aww that's sad :( Well miss you! But we'll still be able to talk occasionally. Remember V-day 2019!
