I know I just started to get to know some of you, but over the last couple of busy, crazy months ... I've realized I don't need it anymore.

hug

I picked it back up again to fill a need for connection, and I've found places away from the keyboard that fill that for me and help me grow beyond my comfort zones.

I'll still consider you all friends and I'll stick around Plurk, maybe meme a bit, PSL once in a while. I've met some amazing people through this hobby!!

I just had the revelation that I have stopped thinking "damn I can't wait until I'll be able to tag X with Y later" and started thinking "Ooh I could make one of these? or draw that? or read more of this"

And that feels ... like me. In a way I haven't felt in years.

I'm so very glad for you.

But I would never have gotten to this point without some of you! You helped me find my true self and bolster my confidence, and that means so much more to me than I can say.

Shoutouts in particular to talloran showtoon dynasty_decapitated love_struck vapeslug Vincira msbatty shinotenshi22 mister_inkwell ... and so many more I know I'm leaving out.

Basically, if you see this, you've touched my life, so ... thanks for all the fish, but this isn't so long.

handsoplenty: /HUG

Long as I can still keep in touch and chat with you, that's what's important to me. <3 your friendship

shinotenshi22: Absolutely!!

Honestly good on you!! That just means you got lots of good shit going on for you that's far more enjoyable.

I will likely be on Plurk a lot less, but please feel free to add me on Discord if you like! I'm over there as WaywardHaze.

RP shouldn't be anything more than a fun hobby, not someone's entire world.

rileyboi: Thank you so much!

it's been good times

This is bittersweet for me in a few ways, but I am so, so proud of you for this development and making the call. I'm glad you have all these other joys snd interests in your life to the point where you're ready and want to shift focus! That's exciting imo!

I would love to carry on our friendship, whatever the type or frequency of interactions-- Feel free to hmu on Discord! I've almost always got my status on invisible but will get back when I'm able. And I know I will always be able to look back fondly on some of the must fun cr/threads I've had!

this is great for you to have discovered this and feel fulfilled like that. I'm happy for you. do what's best and enjoy!

Yeah, this is awesome!!

I'm glad you found your bliss, Hazel!

You always know where and how to find me, and whatever you do I'm going to be rooting for you. Life is always a work in progress, a journey and it leads to places we don't always expect but usually where we need to be.

hell yeah I love this for you

I love you and will miss you so much, you are one of the main reasons I stuck in this hobby over the last few years <3

would love to keep in touch
