Okay, I just spent about 50 minutes typing up some long, drawn out, intellectual explanation for what I'm about to say. But after I finished and read the thing for myself, I almost instantly deleted it. I think the subject of this thread doesn't need the stifling air of a pompous dealer in fiction, but instead the common language of a flesh and blood human being. Well, I'm glad I got that off my chest.
This is the deal guys: I feel burnt out. After Christmas and the New Year it seemed like every time I sat down at my comp and tried to post I got absolutely nowhere. I honestly feel like my heart's not in it anymore and for me to go on posting as if everything is fine and dandy would be an injustice to everyone. I can't bring myself to spit out sad, little excuses for storylines and posts.
Now hear this: I don't want ANYONE to think this is some big play for sympathy. I HATE pity. My first reaction after my big "epiphany" was to "gracefully" bow out by never posting again. However, there are a lot of you who I have really benefited by knowing, both IC and OOC. I feel you all deserved better than a selfish "fade out".
Since then I have also consider the chance this phase might be just that, and at some point down the road I might return. So each day after Jan. 1 I waited, but this fizzled out feeling is still holding strong.
To sum everything up; this thread is two parts apology and one part notice. I am very sorry for not speaking up sooner, especially to those I'm currently in threads with, but I'm not a fan of sympathy, as I said before, and I don't want this being swept under the rug with the rest of the pity parties. Second, because I have yet to lose this cumbersome burden I must regretfully announce my indefinite departure from the world of SW rping.
Kindo, Raiden, Crystal/Shawna, Soth, Dae, Jeran, Wei, Zeke, Dios, Dalamar, Alana I just wanted to give a special thanks to you guys (and gals) for all you've done for me. I still look forward to hearing from you and anyone else for that matter. Email me anytime (honestbob1215@yahoo.com) or drop me a line by IM, honestbob1215 (whenever I get my comp to accept AOL Instant Messenger again), heck I might even hang around the OOC forum from time to time. I hope you understand my decision.
I should think that I will come back, some day. Until then, I bid you all a fond farewell.
