The Cringe "Goodbye" Post I Never Wanted To Make And Then Did.

[Disheartened 809]

Well, here she goes.

 

BYE!

 

I left and came back and left and came back and left and came back to say that I have accepted that the bittersweet moment is now.

I was going to disappear like a ghost, never to return again, without a word, but I can't say that I won't visit ever again. Here's why -

 

While I'm sort of one of those "this server is crack shit and should die in a fire" jaded old players, I need to acknowledge that I spent such a huge amount of time interacting with this community through my entire adolescence, and it was a big part of my life for a time. Though a... let's say 'unique' way to cope with the stressors of life, this server provided me with countless friendships that I will think back to for probably the rest of my existence. To put it simply, I've grown to a place where I am so happy and grateful for what I've been given and the opportunities I've had in life, and no longer feel any need to use the server as a crutch. But I still thank you all for being there in a time when I did need it.

 

People don't recognize the power of their simple presence, so I'm here to call blatant attention to it. This place saved me, for real. Kept me together until I was able to gain the courage to get myself help.

 

I do want to leave this on a bright note though, I have used my resources to specialize in addictions and mental health treatment. That's mostly because of me (gotta take the credit, cmon I've worked hard as shit), but you're all epic for kicking around while I got it together. At this point, I kinda think I'm killing it. Maybe I took the server too seriously every now and then in the past, but I harbor no resentment or bad thoughts about any of you. Only good things to say now.

 

Please share below some of your most favourite lotc moments, I'd love to reflect on them with you.

 

Lastly, keep in touch. Discord: _Disheartened, Steam: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198160671690/ Snapchat: Aliciacjx.

I still do video games, and feel free to just say hello if you'd like.

 

If you feel like you're in crisis or you need to talk to someone regarding mental health, call or text 988, or you can chat online at 988lifeline.org (per cdc, I believe this is US and Canada) Self care is badass, do it.

Good luck dude! Spread your wings and get out there.
 

Nursing aide here, work in the healthcare industry as well! Shameless plug but volunteer at your local retirement homes! Board games, card games, reminiscing, anything! Lots of our elders have families who don't visit due to any number of reasons and your time and effort just to hang out with them gives them a break from the monotony!

Those are all amazing ideas! I don't know that I could anymore, but I used to volunteer at the hospital itself, and a nursing home before I became a PSW at one of the homes and then got my actual RN license. If I wasn't full time, I'd volunteer much more, but it's too much of a sacrifice to do this while also balancing other important things I've prioritized (Family friends, hobbies, self care things). I chose to make this post only because I am doing SO MUCH BETTER! Thank you so much for your positive thoughts and comment. <3

I remember how fun it was picking on garrett when you were his management, and as well with devvy and stuff in (evil) oren. a lot of fun times! I hope you've been doing good and continue to. Ill prob see you when we play scp at some point. thanks for all da fish 😄

I always remember the brief interactions I had with you in Haense during I think Axios. It was a great time and I hope you are doing well!

[i.uomini 2564]

I dont think ive talked or interacted with you, but to hear that a person is able to focus so hard on improving themselves, and then achieve that goal exceedingly, is a source of hope. 

The world is ever-worsening, but people always find a way to reach new heights of love and kindness; I hope your overall lotc experience gave you skills and lessons that will make you 1000x more successful in your irl journeys. Best of fortune in your future.
