What Is Owed (Goodbye)

General
To whomever it may concern,
I haven't uploaded anything here for a long time, and there's a reason for that:
I no longer feel that my art is appropriate for the furry community.
I've become a brony, and that's upsetting to a lot of folks. I know that 'not upsetting furaffinity' is a lot like 'refraining to piss in an ocean of piss', but I don't take any joy in making folks mad, or rocking boats, or burning bridges. Or at least, I don't anymore. But you see, I noticed that a lot of artists I used to love have had a tendency to up and disappear, to delete everything they've ever written, everything they've ever drawn, or composed, or recorded, or rendered, and leave an empty shell of their former pages.
For instance, a musical artist I dearly loved, named Kurreltheraven, still has the husk of a page here on FA with nothing on it but a human avatar. I can only assume that he now rejects the furry community, and would've removed every instance of his name that pops up in google if he could have--because he's removed everything else. Purged his livejournal, scuttled his myspace, even requested his WikiFur entry to be blanked.
I haven't any lost respect for him, although it still hurts to know that all the love so many people have for his wonderful creations is effectively dirt to him. He destroyed it. Imagine if Leonardo DaVinci tossed everything he ever painted and ever drew into a bonfire. I believe he would have every right to do so, but you cannot deny that it would be absolutely tragic to millions of people. The point is... that's not what I want to do.
This is probably going to be my last journal entry on FurAffinity.
It is not because I no longer like furries; I love you all.
It is not because I no longer appreciate FA; I am extremely pleased that FA is still a thing.
It is not because I am trying to make a statement, either.
I'm only leaving because I believe it will cause the least pain overall.
And I come with a final gift, an olive branch:
If you wish to follow what I am doing now, you can find me on DeviantArt: http://cyclone-dusk.deviantart.com
You may find that my skill has... changed. Perhaps even improved a tiny teensy bit. But I refuse to clutter up the Furry community with Brony art.
It is the least that I owe to you.
Goodbye <3

I'm done trying to reach out to you. You reach out to me for once, if you honestly value our friendship.
