My final goodbye.

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

My final goodbye.

My final goodbye.

I listen to my heart and I obey, how can I see in any other way? Just a question.

I thought I wouldn't be leaving for years and years.

But apparently I was wrong. It may be too late to explain myself, but Admins, I pray that you would give me this last chance.

I cannot stand by and just watch this happen.

I miss you all so, so much. I cried all of last night while I was in the shower. And while posting on Cricket.

I love you all, as my sisters and brothers. Because that's what you are to me. Thank you for supporting me through this last one short, hectic year. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go cry my eyes out for the fifth time today.

*group hugs*

Another thing: I do not hate you, Gared, Nebula, and anyone else who has thought about making such an AE. I love you all very much.

Goodbye. It's too late to apologize, I know.

I'll really miss you Cho.

By the way: I listen to my heart and I obey, how can I see it any other way? I'm lookin' at a life...through my own eyes. :):) Sound familiar?

Goodby Cho Chang. I will miss you very, very much. I am thinking I might leave also. Maybe. You are a wounderful, spirited, kind and loving. Again I will say I'm going to miss you sooooo much!  I hope you can come back or at least visit once in a while. Farwell and Barvwa Cho Chang.

Goodbye Cho. I'm getting a NaNo account, and will look you up there. *Hugs* I am so proud of what you're doing, and how strong you are in your beliefs. Ms. Elton is devastated, but she is probably going to be retired for a while. I am going to miss you so much. The CB won't be the same without you. Love you Veggies. *Hugs again*

I say you should fight it. Fight the urge in your heart to take the easy way out. Embrace the uncomfortableness of the new. Fight the xenophobia, the homophobia, the racism, the bigotry inside you. We all have it inside of us. I had to fight my own prejudices, too! I still remember. It was hard. It was uncomfortable. But you can do it.

You can do it.

YOU

CAN

DO

IT.

Cho . . . :(

I understand. We will all miss you. Remember, if you ever need someone to talk to, you know where to find me. 

*hugs*

You've been an amazing CBer. I back you on your thinking, and I am so sorry to see you go. 

Just, promise me one thing.

Whatever happens, you will stay in full touch with Daisy once you go to Japan. No matter what your parents say, you can convince them. Don't lose connections with your best friend.

Nobody is forcing you to leave. Nobody is forcing you to kill all your AEs and never go on the cb again. I don't understand much about religion, but I believe that God is supposed to love and care for everyone, no matter what. I don't know what he's supposed to be for or against or whatever, but I know that he is supposed to create, not destroy, love. Love is the message that half the authors in this world are trying to spread right now. The whole theme of Harry Potter is love! I think everyone should be allowed to love freely, without people telling them that they are sinning, or doing something wrong. But really Cho, please, please don't leave because of this. I don't want to pressure you if you truly want to, but it doesn't have to affect you at all! You don't even know most of us, and you probably won't ever in the future. So why let a few people's invented characters from across the country keep you from enjoying yourself? I know that it's against your religion, and I understand why it might make you uncomfortable, but please hear me out. Thank you.

Goodbye, Cho. I get why you're leaving. I'm sorry you have to go. Please visit every once in a while. We love you, and you are such a kind, sweet, creative girl! I hope to see you on NaNa maybe sometime. And when you go to Japan, like Novelist said, keep in touch with your friend. And maybe, once this is all over, you could come back. *starts balling uncontrollably* We'll miss you so much, Cho Chang! *hugs tightly.* *thinks about not letting go* *pries herself free*

Bye. :-,(

There are different sorts of love, Ridde. I love you all! You are my brothers and sisters.

Also, no, nobody is forcing me to. I am sticking to what I have said, but I have asked the Admins a pivitol question that may allow me to stay, feeling comfortable and safe.

Fare thee well, Cho. Perhaps you'll return someday. Perhaps you won't. Only time will tell. I'll miss you, that's for certain. But I won't let your loss drag me down. Goodbye!
