Hey everybody, this post will be pretty hard to write, so please bear with me.

I've been thinking about this for the past few weeks, and I think it's time for me to bid you all adieu. I feel bad keeping everyone waiting for posts that might never come, I feel bad talking about plots that probably will never happen, or talking about future plans that I might not even be here to see. The amount of free time I have is decreasing and will continue to decrease, and unfortunately, roleplay is just not what I want to spend my time doing anymore. It hurts to say that, and I'm sorry to put it so bluntly, but there's no other way to go about saying that at this point, the only option that remains is to move on.

I will forever cherish the memories I've made with all of you, and the very special community of LC (and WM, for all of you that played there in the past!). While I wish I could keep in touch as often as I'd like to, I know deep down that my presence online will fade. There will always, however, be a place in my heart for all of you. A lot of you have very literally watched me grow up-- and not many people can say such a thing about me. It's really an incredible thing and creates an incredible bond, which is why it hurts so much to know I've got to leave it behind.

I'm at a point in my life where every day brings something new. I don't know what next month will look like-- or even a couple of weeks from now. It's a terrifying thing that I need to learn how to embrace, not hide from. Psychologically, the internet and roleplay in particular was always a form of escapism for me. Perhaps that's why my interest has waned so significantly-- I don't feel the need to hide away from life anymore, and it's giving me all the excitement I need. It's a different thing for everybody, I think, but it became more than a hobby to me. Which was good when I needed it--- but now I don't, and the idea itself feels empty.

I'm sorry that I won't be able to write with you guys in this wonderful little world we've all worked to build. It's truly a beautiful thing. I only hope for the best for all of you-- maybe one day, when things have calmed down, you'll see a familiar name on the join board. But, for now, I bid thee farewell. <3
