I am leaving.

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

I am leaving.

I am leaving. Thank you for being a part of my life for a little under a year. Goodbye. Maybe we can learn to accept in the future.

We can only dream for a fair future...

It's a shame to see you go, Gared. Real shame. From your Boarding School RP, spectacular AEs, to your creepy and enthralling solo writes and ideas it has been a pleasure knowing you. Although I am happy to say some of us can still keep in contact. Farewell, Fared, the CB'll miss you.

Sorry, typo. Farewell, Gared. That's what I meant xD

Still sad though...

I'll miss you so much, Gared. You've inspired me to be brave and stand up for what I believe in, even if it isn't the most popular opinion. What is right is not always easy and what is easy is not always right. I truly think you've helped our community so much, with your creative, interesting personality. You really think outside the box and your ideas soar! You've changed the CB for the better and, like I said, I'll miss you a lot. I know we weren't incredibly close, but I always knew you would support me. That helped me be braver with what I said and has even helped me be more outgoing in the offline world. I cannot thank you enough for that, but I will still try: Thank you. I also can turn to you for advice about what Magic cards I should get my brother for his birthday. Thank you for that, too! I hope we can stay in touch.

I know I don't know you, and it is completely your decision (but you know there are going to be people that try to convince you out of leaving), but I think you should stay. I've observed others reactions to your posts, and what they say about you. You make others on the CB braver and more willing to state their opinions. I know our current situation is frustrating for both sides of the mini argument. But you can help us learn to accept more by staying. Well , at least if you still enjoy being on the CB or at least most parts of the CB I think you should stay.

Don't go, Gared! Don't you see, the more accepting people like you stay here, the more accepting this place will be? And you can stay for the art and writing, and find another place for discussion and acceptance. That's kind of what I do.

Gared, this is completely your decision and therefore it is a good one. I wish you wouldn't go, but it's not my job to say who can leave and who can't. Will you come back on Valentine's Day 2019?

You have always been an important part of our community, Gared.

If we work at inequalities and other unfair things now, the world will be more accepting someday.

Please don't go Gared! If we work together to try to get along better I truly believe that we could! Please stay Gared! Give us another try? I really do believe that we could work together to make the CB a better place!!!!

Please don't go?

I hope we ALL can accept in the future. Goodbye Gared, I'll keep fighting for you. 

Concerning your other comment, Claaws. I deleted the part that sounded rude.

Gared, please don't leave. I truly understand your reasons, and some of the things going on breaks my heart too. But....if you can, please stay. Even if you have to take a long break, or return after a month or something. Why are you leaving? Yes, I know the basic reasons why, I've read your posts and I read that last sentence. Are you leaving because it's too much for you, or because you want to make a statement to spark change? You don't really need to answer that question, sorry, I don't want to make this painful for you.

Farewell. Thank you for being a part of our lives, Gared. We really hope to see you again on here, but if not, then I wish you happiness in your summer and your life outside the CB. Keep up Desert³=x, and most importantly, whatever you do:

Don't stop being yourself.

Gared....Why?! It really is hard to see someone leave. Please come back! Is there a reason?? I would cry but I am in the living room with my mom and sister. It is hard to just stay off of CB for at least 5 days it just feels weird...

Well, goodbye Gared. I don't want you to leave, but it's your decision to make. I'll miss you so much, and the CB will never be the same without you. Remember to visit on Valentine's Day 2019! Goodbye.
