It's been a great run...but it's time for me to go.

This is the decision I've made...the decision that determines my future.
I'm officially leavin' FA, and the internet.
It pains me to break this news to all of you, my friends...but this is the decision I made.
It was...probably one of the more difficult decisions I've had to make in my life.
Cause I've met so many great people on here; people I can relate to, people I can trust, and people I can truly share a laugh with.
...people I consider my friends.
All you old watchers who have been with me since the beginnin', you've all stuck with me even in my long absences.
You guys prayed for me durin' my trials with illness, and I thank you all for that.
And all of you, old watchers and new watchers...you guys showed me what it really means to be a member of this great community.
You're all my friends, there's no denyin' that.
There was a time shortly after I registered when I was a nobody, when I was just some 17 year old college freshman watchin' everyone who's art I liked.
There was a time when I never thought that I'd meet such great people(meanin' you guys, my watchers and friends).
And there was a time when I never thought that I'd come this far...with 200 watchers, and so many friends.
I never would have made it this far, especially with everythin' that's been goin' on around the world...and what's happened to people I personally know and love.
...I wouldn't have made it this far, if it weren't for a certain few people.

I still would be a nobody if it weren't for you Jard, when you out of the kindness of your heart chose me and drew my character Khione from among a great number of your fans and watchers.
It was you and your amazin' artistic talent that helped to put my name and character on the map, and propelled me further into immersin' myself in this great community.
In a sense, it was you who helped me meet all the great people I've met along this great journey.
I know it probably doesn't mean much to you, but you're a great guy and I love ya bro!
Thanks a ton Jard!

There's no amount of words that I will say that can describe how truly grateful I am of you, Scars.
You not only helped me through all the hardships I've faced along my journey...but you even helped my gf, Dani.
You've helped me to realize a lot of things about not just this world...but myself.
There's not many people out there in this world who are like you, Scars.
Carin'. Truthful. And an overall awesome guy.
I'll be honest with you Scars...to me, you're like the brother I never had.
You've helped me and Dani pull through some tough times in our lives.
And I can't thank you enough for that, bro!

I'll be straight up with you bro.
Of all the people I've met on this great journey...I don't think I've ever met anyone else like you.
Whenever I talk with you, you always, and I mean ALWAYS manage to cheer me up and put a fuckin' smile on my face.
There's just no way other way to say this, other than that you're also like the brother I never had.
Not only that, but your diabolical mind is somethin' that I...envy you for.
Why?...let's just say it's a bit of thing I have for studyin' human nature and the human mind. lol
Still though, I really do consider you to be the other brother I never had.
Thanks for always cheerin' me up whenever I was feelin' down bro!
And there's so many more of you who I really appreciate for helpin' me through tough times and stickin' with me when I was absent from the internet.
Special shout outs to these two awesome bros!
mason5500 Wuv ya!
efa You're awesome bro!
I wish I didn't have to announce this kind of decision to you guys.
But the future ahead of me will be a rough road for sure, which will occupy much more of my time, effort and attention than it did previously.
I hope I haven't...well, discouraged all of you, or let any of you down because of this decision to leave for good.
Please see it as a movin' forward with life, rather than a pickin' up of oneself and flat out disappearin' on all of you like lots of people do.
I didn't want to make this decision.
That's why it took me a week to finally make up my mind.
But life has forced upon me no other alternative.
Life has only given me only one choice that I cannot refuse, no matter how much I hate the idea of leavin' you all.
I hate havin' to leave you all, I really do.
You're all my friends, and you always will be my friends.
Just know...that I truly do cherish my friendship with each and every single one of you.
But it's time that I move forward with life.
And it's time that...
That I bid you all farewell.
Who knows...maybe life will ease up a bit, and I'll make an unexpected return some day in the future.
But I don't want to get your hopes up.
It might be years before that happens.
Well...
I hope one day that I can meet some of you some day.
Farewell everyone.

*bows low* I respect your decision, but please do remember that should you wish to return, we shall be here. ^w^
