For The First Time Ever, I'm Saying Goodbye...

[Nikolas Faselli]

A lot of amazing people have left Chaos for many different reasons lately, and that made me think about myself for a moment.

I have loved spending time here in Chaos for nearly the past three years. But who has known me for some time should also know I tend to have odd bursts of activity and then I stay silent for a while. Well, now all of that will change.

I've never done that before during my time in Chaos, but I will do it this time. I will leave this community, but not because I don't like it. I have loved everything that has happened here, I love the community. But I can't continue lying to people about how I will post replies to them and everything.

That time is over. I will take an indefinite LOA.

I have a little bit of a problem and that is the reason why I am leaving -- to stay completely motivated to post and write in Chaos, I have to spend all my time here, keep an eye on absolutely everything which happens here (the Fear of Missing Out), and when it happens that I can no longer spend all my days here, I feel miserable and can't go on with my life.

That Fear of Missing Out makes me mentally exhausted. That's why I am leaving.

Who knows, maybe I will return at summer when I have more time and get really bored... But I can't promise anything.

Sorry, goodbye, and may the Force be with you!

We haven't had the pleasure of writing much together, but I remember the brief time we've spent in the Codex chat together, and our brief time in the Primeval together when you wrote there.

Good luck, and let me know if you come back!

 

[Cloudburner]

Thank you for the dedication you put into Chaos. Oh and....

 

[Setzi Lunelle]

I totally get this! Be well, and we'll be here if you change your mind.

Thank you for the signature. Enjoy your break. I hope nothing malicious forced you to leave.

Noooo. Why are all these good writers leaving all of a sudden?

Bummer.

You have to do what's right for you, though. We'll be here for you if you decide to come back

 

[Connor Harrison]

Well this community is losing some fine people today. Sad times indeed.

[member="Ellya"] - Going to miss you here, but I hope you'll be back when you feel ready too. I fully understand your reasons, and good on your knowing that you are in control, not the site.

Take good care, and don't be a stranger. Thank you for writing with me over the past 18 months.



....we still never finished our Minotaur thread you know. Longest. Ongoing. Thread. Ever.

You can blame it all on me!

Please take care out there. Should you ever get twitchy typer-fingers, you know where to find us. ^_^
