So... it looks like this is goodbye.
It brings me no joy to type this, but I feel I should let you guys know what's up for the sake of transparency and closure. There's a long list of members that just vanished one day, and we still don't know what happened to them. I'd rather not have my name on that list is all.
I guess the biggest thing I want everyone to know is that: I'm okay.
I didn't get in an accident, I didn't get depressed or sick. I'm healthy in every regard, but I am busy. University has really pulled me away from this forum to the point where I haven't read anything in a long time. Not only that, but I no longer feel that taking the time to write is worth it anymore. It's one thing to not get any comments, but the past few stories I've posted have barely even gotten any views. My works may be far from perfect, but they still take effort (my longest one is the size of 2 full novels), and the payoff simply doesn't match the work that I have to put in. I already have them all inside my head, so what's the point of writing them down and sharing them if no one's even going to see them??? Believe me, I deeply regret not being able to finish the projects that I've already started up, but enough's enough.
I will miss this place. Being a part of this community has been a lot of fun, and I've made some great friends over the years (you know who you are), but as it stands right now, I just have no good reason to be here anymore.
Is this goodbye forever? Well, I promise nothing. I just wanted anyone out there who cares to know that all is well.
