I have finally made the extremely hard decision to leave the wiki. Maybe not today, and maybe not tomorrow...I may not even leave in the next weeks but, it's going to happen. I'm going to get my affairs in order here, and try to move onto future projects. Now...I know this may be hard for those I have befriended here and I want to make this clear. It's not your guys' faults, it's mine. In the past year, my grades have plummeted. I went from being a straight A+ student 2 years ago to now failing one of my electives. This is hard for me, after all the time I've spent here. But the tipping point that has made me realize I need to leave was the recent leaving of Dove. The fact that such a dedicated user, one that I looked up to above all others, could leave whenever they wanted made me realize something. I've been wrecking my own future over a simple hobby. As some of you may know, I one day wish to run for the US presidency, and I have made the decision that if I stay here that I may never acheive my goal. My leaving is not because I hate it here, not because of any of those I have come so close to in recent months but simply because I cannot balance my RP schedule and my work. Although this could change, but only if I am pushed. I am not a superhero, the stress of life gets to me, as it does everyone else. Sudden changes in my family life have caused me immense problems, and coming here has not improved my issues. I need this community, but it's ruining me. I need your guys' help, you don't have to, but I'm asking because I love this place. I need encouragement, simple compliments will do. I don't want to leave, but if I have to, I'm going to. Please, help me guys, I've always wanted to say this, but was scared I would be laughed at, teased. But I am going to say it anyways. I love this place. But more importantly, I love you guys. You're like a family to me, I love you more than my own flesh and blood. So I don't wanna leave, but...if needed, I will, thanks, that will be all.
