friends help: While I’ve been on help, I’ve learned a lot.

MittensInSummertime

While I’ve been on help, I’ve learned a lot.

I’ve learned how I don’t need to be attention-seeking to get what I need, I’ve learned how to deal with being hurt, and I’ve learned how to deal with life a bit better than before. I’ve learned that I can’t let anyone else make me happy. I need to be happy on my own. I’m slowly growing away from the computer, and I’m slowly growing away from help. I still go on here often, but I don’t reply much. I’ve never been an extremely active user, but there have been times that I’ve had more people to talk to on here. Now I’m growing apart from it, just like any other website. I don’t know where I’ll go from here. It’s been a year since I made my first account on here, and the people and the site have changed and developed so much. I’ve made some great friends. But I’m starting to see that being on here is more of a burden than it is a gift. I might not leave the site (because so many people make “I’m leaving!” posts and promptly come back) and I might rejoin the community, but for now, I think this is goodbye. I’ll be on here for a reply every once in a while. I’ll still shout a bit. Really, nothing will change from before. This is just a post to tell everyone. If you talk to me on MSN, though I might not be on much, you know where to find me. I’ll open my email to a few people. But other than that, I’ve grown away. I’ve grown apart. I don’t know everyone on here like I used to. Too many of my friends have moved on. I was a part of the “old crowd”, I supose. I’m doing the same thing as everyone else did. So on that note, goodbye. I’ll miss this site. I’ll miss everyone here. But it’s time.

Likewise!!! I know I’ve seen you around here somewhere!!! I wish you the best… I can relate to the feeling of being on some sites for so long, but after awhile something just changes… perhaps you feel like you’re starting to drown in it, or it becomes draining at some point… or the people just seem different… or perhaps it’s you who’s changed. Either which way, it’s OK… you know what’s best for you and if you feel it’s time to break away, nothing wrong with that!!

Personally, i don’t really see the reasons of why leaving this site (i.e. to move on etc) But of course it is all case to case basis. But whatever it is, i wish you the best and i hope to see you around here again.

What is most important is you are taking care of yourself and that you are in good hands wherever you go.

See you soon! :)

God bless you on your journey!!! I am so very glad that you received the help that you needed, when you needed it, and that you have grown as a result of that help.

It is wonderful to be able to do that, and then move on, to the next phase of ones life….

Please drop by, from time to time, to say hello, and share your adventures…..

It is always nice to hear from old friends….

And we are all wishing for you the very best, that life has to offer.

Many hugs……
