User blog:Claweight/waving bye

I must quickly preface this by saying that I AM NOT LEAVING! I am simply moving. I have so much negative stuff that I can't let go of as well as the personal mistake I made when I chose this new username (it's not just that I don't like it anymore, it's something that I'm not able to share at this time). I just need to start anew. I'll keep editing my story and moderating this community and doing everything I have done for the past four years on a different account, which I will create in a moment once I'm all done with everything. It just feels right to do so at the moment, as I've been considering it for a while now. I feel like it's going to allow me to be more honest with myself, too.

...and I need to learn how to let go.

As I said, I'm not leaving, but I wanted to thank you guys for all the stuff I've done with you and all the fun I've had here in this old vessel. Four years of such a huge transitional period, in which I changed into someone new almost as many times as the protagonist of Stolid has changed his name. Four years (half of the time I've been on Animal Jam, which is a somewhat painful eight years, quite literally a little over half of my entire life). Four years spent laughing, R A N D O M - ing, being a kid, trying to grow up, "maturing," laughing some more, crying, maturing for real, writing.

And how I adore writing.

Thank you for your patience over the years, even if I most definitely didn't deserve it.

See you soon.
