Dear DYHTPS,
I have made the tough, but necessary for me, decision to stop roleplaying, and I wanted to say goodbye before I go. This may seem sudden, but my plan was for Courfeyrac to die at the barricades and Valjean shortly afterward when Cosette was married. I had hoped that the plot would move faster so that I could have this done and not leave with their stories incomplete before school started, but c'est la vie.
Some people can balance school, 20 hours of work, family, friends, and faith, but I don't have as much free time now as I used to, and I don't think it's healthy for me (not saying anything about anyone else) to spend it on the computer. I was starting to feel like I was spending my time for my own pleasure, instead of like Valjean, doing everything he can to help others. Writing is a wonderful thing, and I still believe in its power to heal and inspire, but right now I feel called to help the people living around me in a more personal way.
As most of you know, my faith is also the most important thing to me, and I believe God created me, so my time belongs to Him, and I want to spend it in a way that most glorifies Him by loving Him and loving my neighbors. I believe Jesus died on a cross to save me from my sins so I could have a relationship with Him, and a sixty second prayer after spending sixty minutes on the Internet isn't what He had in mind when he suffered and died for us
He loves me and He wants to spend time with me; if I were in a relationship with someone I loved, I wouldn't just say "hi" at the end of the day and call it good.
But I don't need to make excuses to you guys - I'm sure you understand that real life comes first C: I did learn a lot from being here. I have loved it. I value you all and I have benefited from your intelligence and excellent writing. Slayer has worked so hard on this site, as have all of you, and it is without a doubt the best site I've been on. (Dare I say the best site out there??) I leave it, and you, in Slayer and Gwen's capable hands. ...let's face it, I wasn't the most helpful admin anyway ;P
To conclude, to quote M'sieur Gillenormand, “Give rein to your joys!” Live life abundantly. Don't worry about the small stuff and don't settle for the small stuff. “And remember, the truth that once was spoken: to love another person is to see the face of God.”
All the best,
Emmy
