Hey everyone, here's Chelsea, your Admin.
It's certainly been an exciting past year, hasn't it? Can you believe I left all of you a little over a year ago? It's gone by so fast! I don't feel like it's December again, honestly. I've learned a lot this past 12 months, and most of it has been about myself. I've also had a lot of time to reflect on my life, from before my mission, to what it will be like after. There are things I regret doing, or not doing. Things I'm grateful for. Things I want to change, or work on. And so on. I regret spending so much time bt myself. I'm grateful for coming on a mission. I'm grateful for all my friends and the good examples they are to me. I'm grateful for my mom practically forcing me to watch movies with her. I'm grateful for always going grocery shopping with my dad.
Now we come to things I will change or work on when I get home. Well, First is definitely collage! I've put it off a long time and need to go. Another is the reason I'm writing this for all of you. I've come to the decision that I need to quite roleplaying for good. I spent so much time roleplaying before, that I regret all that time lost. Time I could have spent on my family or school. For a time, I kept telling myself that I needed roleplaying. That I would just be better at taking it in moderation. But I know that I can't. There is no moderation in roleplay for me. So I have to have a clean break. Not only that, there are so many things I want to do when I get home, I just won't have the time.
Roleplay really taught me a lot. It taught me to love writing. How to write. To love stories. To be able to develop my own ideas and characters. Things I will forever treasure. But it's time that I moved on from it.
Because of this decision, I will also be permanently stepping down as Admin. If Buffy chooses to keep the board running, it will be hers and she is the official Admin. If she doesn't want it, then one of you can take it (talk to Buffy about that), or, the board will be officially closed. It won't be deleted for memory's sake though. Buffy will decide what she wants to do, and include the decision after this message.
I want you all to know how grateful I am for everything. It was definitely a challenge running the board, but it was worth it. I learned a lot from all of you, and am forever grateful for it. I'm so happy I got to meet all of you, and for the opportunity to learn and grow with you. as I go my own way, I wish all of you the best in whatever is to come. Until our paths cross again, Merry Christmas, Frohe Weihnachten, and a Happy New Year!
