Farewell.You

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Farewell.You

Farewell.

You know, I always saw the many 'leaving' threads and said to myself, I'm not gonna do that. I'll be on here for a while. Well, here I am, leaving after not even two years. 

I suppose I've never really fit in here or been as good at all of the rps and art stuff as everyone else, and just stopped joining stuff like that. Well, I've recently joined another website and I really like it. I can be more of myself on there.

It's not only that stuff. Most of the stuff on here isn't really stuff I'm into anymore. I love art and writing still, but the stuff my characters [ocs or not] deal with would most likely be considered too 'controversial' for here. I also can't speak of things dear to my heart because they get edited out of my comments. I understand why, but it is still a bit hurtful. So, what's the point of sticking around?

I don't think I'll be coming back on 2/14/19, mostly because no one would care, and because I again don't see the point.

I'll stay on the Dreamers Solo Write thread for a little, but otherwise, this is farewell. So, goodbye.

Hey. I would care if you came back. It would make me really happy. I'll miss you, but I get how you feel about the CB being less interesting. I think the point of Valentine's Day 2019 is to give us all hope for a time when everyone we love comes back. Like Día De Los Muertos, kind of. So I hope you do come back for that one day.

Me too. I would love it if you checked in once in a while. Even if I haven't seen you in a while I really do think you are an amazing person and an amazing part of the CB. See you in 2019.

I would care if you didn't come back.  (Ugh I hate the way I talk why can't I be sincere for once)  But I understand how you're feeling, and it's ok if you don't feel like you belong.  So even if you don't come back, stay long enough so that I can say goodbye.

No! My fellow Young Justice fan! I understand that people grow out of the CB. I'm slowly starting to grow out of it too. Once you get to be 15 and 16, some life-long interests start changing and you begin to see the world around you in a different way. Which is good maturity wise, but it's always hard to leave things that struck a chord with us as kids behind. So goodbye my friend!!! Neve stop writing! I will certainly miss you.

Nighthawk, I am truly sorry you feel you don't fit in here. You are such an amazing CBer and I'm so sad to see you go. I won't ask you to stay if you don't feel comfortable here, but please, Nighthawk, come back on Valentine's Day 2019. Please. I promise you'll be welcomed back with wide, welcoming arms. I will miss you so much-- the CB won't be the same any more. <3

Farewell, Nighthawk. You will be missed. And I also care if you come back on Valentine's Day 2019. It's just one day, and it would make so many people happy, including Apple and I. But I understand if you really can't. Goodbye friend.

I'm really sorry you feel that way. I do understand that people mature out of the CB, I threatened to do it myself. But I would also like you to know, we would ALL care if you came back on 2/14/19. If you don't see the point however, that is your own decision.

Farewell, Nighthawk. I'll miss you. *huge hug*

I completely understand why you’re leaving, but I’m sad to see you go as well. I know all too well how frustrating it is to have to hide a piece of yourself in order to feel accepted. It’s hard to graple with the fact that the person that others, especially those you care so much about, know to be you is... not fully you.

I don’t know if I have many close friends left on here at this point, but I would have liked to know you better. Good luck my friend, the world is beautiful and you are going to be amazing in it. <3

Wait a second. I get the leaving part, and I'm not going to protest, but we care. A lot. And we'd really appreciate it if you would try to come back 2-14-19. We will support you no matter what you decide to do, but know that we will always care about you, even if it seems that we don't.

I'm so sorry you're going, Nighthawk, and I'm really going to miss you. You are an incredible person, and I'm glad you've found a place where you can be more of that person. I think I've gotten to know you better more recently, and I want you to know how much you've impacted me for the better. You've made me more confident and happier acting as myself. You are a really amazing person and I know you will do brilliant things that will make this world a better one. I'll miss you.

No! Don't leave! *cry* 

Ok, I'm a hypocrite, don't push it. I completely understand. I've had that little (big extremely big) rough spot in my teen years that's sure to leave scars in my adult life. But, as a writer, I found that helping others get past their own little tough spots has helped me find my voice. (But that's just me, I don't know about you. And in case you were wondering, I plan to become a lawyer or a politician one day, so that's probably it. ;) Anywho, I think this website is fun for kids but helps us older ones get through some rough times, by forgetting about our own problems for a little while and being immature ;) (omagosh don't drop it right away I sware it really helps) I totally get that you've found another one, but just maybe stop in every once in a while? I'll miss you too much! *you realize the whole post was leading up to that one sorry excuse* *suddenly is imprisoned in a cage* There. Have fun! *you grumble a bit, realizing how much of an idiot you were for being friends with a sociopath dragon* Ha! *smiles like an idiot*

Apologies for taking so long to reply. Life seems to largely dislike me at the moment.

@AppleJaguar, LilyPad, Lucy B., Kitten-thank you, and whether i come back or not is dependent on how life is going at that time. 

@Rosebud-well, and it is possible that i might appear for a bit to fan about season three when it finally comes out, but shh i didn't say anything ;) . yeah, i agree. i'll miss you too, and i hope that you never stop following your dreams :) [also, it was me that guessed you in the superhero si, so sorrryyyy lol]

@Starseeker, Leeli, Inktail-i may possibly come back on the 'reunion day,' but, as i said before, it depends on how life is going at the time. thank you for your kind words.

@Abigail-yes, it is quite frustrating to have to almost play a part. Thank you for understanding, and i would have liked to get to know you more as well. you seem like a pretty cool person, and i loved the story you posted on inkwell a while ago. thank you :) i hope you have a wonderful day/night!

@Cockleburr-oh my goodness, thank you. it's amazing to think that i could've impacted anyone like that, especially someone like you who i've looked back up to nearly since i first came on the CB. i hope you never stop writing and following your heart, because you're going to go far.  

@Claaws-yes, i suppose this site did allow me to be a bit more childish than i am behind the screen, but, i think it's time to move on for me. but thank you. keep working to achieve your hopes of being a lawyer. i'm sure but you can reach them :)
