I hope to keep this short and sweet while also saying everything I feel I should talk about. Somehow I don't think that's gonna be possible... c:
The reality is sometimes life chooses the path for you, and I feel strongly that now is my time to say goodbye.
I no longer have the interest to play of my own accord.
One of my own self-rules I choose to abide by is that I never want to feel as though something I haven chosen to do has become a chore. As of now, being here is starting to feel like a chore and I really can't keep my false sense of happiness up for much longer. I really can't explain how I feel about this that well, but I truly believe that I am making the right decision in this.
To further explain, in my eyes everything in the community is different now. I miss the times where I was one of many people who joined around my time active in the community. It's gotten to the point where I see myself as outdated here considering a majority of the active forum and community population joined after me. I can feel myself being pushed out and replaced by a newer age, a newer generation. Many of the friends I had when I joined this amazing community are no longer active or part of the community at all. Frankly, I don't have anyone here left that I truly consider a good friend. The experience here as of now just has a completely different feel to it than the feel it gave me when I was new and in the middle of my time here.
