Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
I’m leaving.
Dear Chatterboxers,
It’s been such a wonderful time here on the CB. I’ve discovered so much, grew so much, and became so much. I got so many new ideas. I improved my writing, drawing, and typing, along with many other things. I have grown in the Chatterbox. I’ve stretched to the limits. I’ve pushed. I found who I am.
And now it’s time for me to leave.
I have mentioned before that I am a Slytherin. Ambitious. Many goals. Many dreams.
And I’m finally ready to go. To chase those dreams, to pursue them. To fly.
Before I found this website, I could flutter. Now, I can soar.
It’s hard to believe that a small forum in the corner of the Internet could give me such big wings.
I’ve been so dedicated to this place. It will always be my favorite. I spent hours upon hours, writing, chatting, and soaking up time. I became one of the most active CBers.
It was worth it, but I need the time back.
I’m so sorry.
My mission to change the world started with the Chatterbox. CBers, did I do this?
Did I leave at least a little mark on this website? Compliments? The ACG?
Scylla mentioned that if I leave, she leaves. Cho said that if Scylla leaves, she leaves. The last thing I want to do is start a chain reaction.
So I’m staying a CBer. Once a CBer, always a CBer. I’ll keep to one thread, my fanfiction thread in BaB. If you want to talk to me, go there. I’ll also stay for Indigo’s contest, because I’ve already let you guys down enough and because I really want to. XD
I’ll drop by once in awhile. I’ll come back on October 9th, when my twin anniversary with Scylla is. And I’ll definitely be here in 2019.
I’m allowing myself one more week on the CB. If Cloud wants, we’ll marry 8-Piece and Hèmǐn together.
This is so hard for me.
But I have willpower.

*Cries* It was a really hard decision.

No. . . This can't. . . Why. . .
I respect your choice, your descion. But it's hard to say goodbye. I can't imagine a CB without you, Mei. This is the worst farewell ever. Good luck chasing your dreams. I fully expect to see you on the news doing brilliant things someday. ;)
I'll miss you so much. *virtual hug*

*Returns hug*
(August 24, 2016 - 3:02 pm)
W-What?
Oh my goodness, Mei, I...
I really, really, don't know what to say.
You're one of the CBers who's made the biggest impression on me, whether it's by 100% always sticking to your opinion or just being so participant... I...
I'm going to miss you so, so, much, and 8-Piece will too.
*hug from Cloud and all her AEs* Thank you for being here. You've made it better in the end.

*Hug from Mei and Co, minus Fúdìmó*
I'll miss you too. And not just you, but all of you.
. . . And Xiǎo tùzǐ ruined the sentimental moment by saying "trmp". Trump?! Donald Trump?! Xiǎo tùzi, now is not the time.

Wait, what? No. . . no!!! *Starts sobbing uncontrollably*
Mei, you have DEFINITELY been a great CBer on here, and I wish that I could have gotten to know you a little better. I have always wanted to become good CB buddies with you on here, and now... it's too late. :(
Mei, when you hear me say this, please know that I say it from the bottom of my heart:
You have definetly changed this CB for good. You have enlightened SO MANY Cbers, (one of them being me,) and helped me to try to be like you, always helping others out, and making people happy. So, Thank you. You have changed everyone around here, and know that we will never forget you. *Salutes*
Puck, Ariel, and Diovald: Mei and Co., good luck. We will definitely miss all of you.

That really touched me.
*Looks down at hands*
Thank you.
(August 24, 2016 - 3:08 pm)
*Smiles sadly*
You're welcome.
(August 24, 2016 - 7:24 pm)
Wha.................
Oh Mei... I'm going to miss you. Like Abi said, it's your decision, and we'll all respect your choice (not that we might spam your thread in BaB with cool RPs to try and get you to come back), and I think I speak for all the CBers that we're going to miss you.
(August 24, 2016 - 12:33 pm)
I'm going to miss you too.
(I laughed at the spam part)
Xiǎo tùzǐ says "want".
(August 24, 2016 - 3:10 pm)
Wait. This says NOTHING about why you are leaving. It makes no sense to me. No offence, but I don't think there's a reason to dramatize your leaving when you don't even tell what the real life reason is. . .
(August 24, 2016 - 3:06 pm)
I said why I was leaving. Read it again.
Admin, I seem to be getting more and more word CAPTCHAs. Xiao tuzi just said "duet". How are the CAPTCHAs chosen?
It's a mystery! ~Admin

Butterfly! My goodness! It is completely her decision if she wants to tell us why she's leaving! And, I think, in her beautiful goodbye, she said that she has outgrown the CB? My apologies, Mei, if I'm wrong. She, well, wants to get on with her life. She wants to turn a new leaf. She wants to pursue her wonderful, inspiring dreams. She doesn't need the CB any more. She is ready to go. She is ready to change the world. She's letting go of this. She's flying free, and nothing can hold her back. Not the CB. She needs to let this go to become completely and wholly herself, and she doesn't wNt this to rein her in, or restrain her in any way. Just look deeply, Butterfly.
