Im leaving. No,
Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket
Im leaving. No,
Im leaving. No, before you ask, this is not about that stupid Longest Thread Ever misunderstanding. Its because I dont belong here.
Many CBers have left since I joined beacause of changes. Because of exclusions, upsettings and feeling as if they dont belong. Recently, a fellow CBer, who is just as amazing, equal and fair as the rest of us, left because of people like me. People wh arrived and suddenly dove right in, took over and took the places of other, older CBers who were suddenly ignored and exluded from the rest of us.
The CB is like a home to me. But to take the place of others, kick them away and leave them behind as if they dont matter, I would rather stay out of it.
Goodbye to all of my CB friends whom I love, know and will remember. Goodbye. I will miss you. To all those who bothered to read my boring goodbye thread, thankyou. I love you, goodbye and I will miss you. Goodbye, Admin.
XOX ❤❤❤

It isn't your fault! When I worry that no one notices me, I'm just being silly, because YOU notice me, and one is enough. Speaking as a two year old CBer, you haven't brought any negative changes to the CB. In fact, you're sort of a throwback to older times.
And the fact that you "dove right in" is nothing to be ashamed of. It just means you're an enthusiastic CB-lover.
I mean, I think all of us could afford to be a little more encouraging of every CBer, but you specifically are no worse than I am.
To finish up here, if you are talking about me when you say that you "take the place of others, kick them away and leave them behind as if they dont matter," let me clarify that you have NOT done that to me. I am sort of maybe a tiny bit oldish on the CB, and you have NOT kicked me out. You DO make me feel like I matter. Please don't go.

Lily, if there is anyone on the CB who is like that, let me tell you one thing for sure: It's not you, and you certainly shouldn't leave because of it. You are a really creative, kind, funny person, and I really don't want you to leave.
*ehat*
Connie wants to give you a hat!

Oh no, LilyPad, I don't want you to go! I'm sorry. I know I should respect your decision to leave, but you are so kind, and you're an amazing person! One of my favorite things about you is your enthusiasm, and the way you jump right into everything. You make great threads that are fun for other CBers, and you don't take the spotlight offf of anyone else on here. You actually shine it on everyone. When you make threads like "CBer picturings," and "CBer First Names," you always include newer CBers, as well as more well known ones. You're a great person, and the CB without you won't be the same. If you really want to leave, you can, but please understand that I will miss you SOOO much, and so will lots of other CBers!
Goodbye LilyPad. You will be missed.

Wow. I'm telling you, you blink and you miss it. I have no idea whatsoever about this supposed drama. I still have no idea. I feel like most people leave because of drama. Maybe the CB is a dramatic place. Maybe it's too dramatic. Maybe not. Maybe it shouldn't be. It shouldn't be. It should be a good place for everyone.
You will be missed, LilyPad. I never really talked to you, but I know of the impact you left while you were here and the impact you will continue to leave in your absence. Go well, LilyPad. Go well.

Thankyou so much. To everyone. I love you all and will never forget you. And I have made my decision. I will stay. You are right. If I leave the CB, nothing will change. There will be no point. And besides, you're posts moved me. Thank you. All of you have a special place in my heart.
❤️❤️❤️

Yeeess! I am so glad you are staying, LilyPad! I promise you will not regret it. The CB is your home as much as it is ours, and you'll have so many brilliant memories here.

Yay! Thanks for staying, Lily!

Please stay! You are a spectacular person, author, and CBer, and if anyone has made you feel any less than that then shame on them. You did absolutely NOTHING wrong, and therefore you should stay.
(February 14, 2017 - 6:22 am)
LilyPad, I'd love for you to stay!

No! LilyPad, please think this through first! You ARE NOT like that! You never pushed anyone away! I've seen your threads, the ones where you mention nearly every active CBer! (By active I mean still on, not on the most.) You are the LAST person who should feel guilty for this!! You are an amazing CBer! Please don't leave on the account that you feel guilty for something you didn't do! You never excluded anyone! Truth is, you've made the CB a better place. You've brought more inclusion. I actually saw my name in the CBer first names thread and so many others that you made! And I never get mentioned. Please reconsider! I'll stop ranting now. Please think over my words. :-(

Yay!!! You're staying! I am so happy, I don't know what to say other than THANK YOU!!! You are such an amazing CBer! Thank you, thank you, thank you for staying!!!
