Dear CotH
This is a cotheversary post and also somewhat of a goodbye post to the community. After settling in at my new college I have learned about all of the options that are available to me (and bars
), and basically it's a new city, a clean slate, and an empty plate. I'm trying out new foods and do not want to lean back on the old foods, to extend the metaphor. But speaking literally, what I mean here is that I want a life away from slumping in a computer chair and not doing much else. I did that because the city I used to live in didn't have much to do. But I now live in a more interesting place. And honestly it's healthier for me and it's more enriching to have an offline social life. For this reason, you guys can consider me to be on an indefinite leave of absence. I might come back if things aren't as interesting as they were at first glance (although things not being interesting would be my fault, wouldn't it?), but for now, you know what I'm doing.
At the beginning of the month I turned 4 on CotH. I'm not going to praise this as being the best place ever (it's still great); CotH has some things to work on as a community and on a personal level I don't think I OOCly connected to too many people. However, what I want to use this cothversary for is to thank you for what made my existence in this community satisfying and memorable: the roleplay. All of you are very dedicated to what you enjoy doing here and it is what made me enjoy doing it as well. I saw roleplay as a medium that could be more than just something to do for entertainment: I saw it as a means to express something and explore what it was that I was expressing, much like literature or art. Yet for a long time I couldn't find that on the internet. However, when I came here, I was able to generate and take part in this kind of roleplay. Thanks for this, and the things I learned from being a part of the community and having been a staff-member somewhere for the first time in my life (outside of being president of silly clubs in high school).
Like I said before, this isn't a goodbye and I want to make posts on having been around for five or six years, but just an indefinite leave of absence. And don't take 'absence' too seriously: I'll miss my characters and most likely hop on sometimes to revisit them, so I'm not completely gone. For that reason I'll be a semi-active member of the forums. But I also wanted to use this as a chance to come clean about wanting to distance myself from the computer and thus coming clean that I'll be breaking a promise that I'd rejoin the team and resume helping with the upkeep of the community. Sorry about that!
Your pal, Geo
P.S. if you're ever in the historic district of Charleston and want to know what the fun things to do here are I could probably show you!
