Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Goodbye. That is to say, Au revoir.

I really don't quite know how to say all this, but I've been planning on leaving the CB for a while: for one thing, I'm going to college in the fall and won't have much time for this kind of thing, and for another, I keep feeling that the CB has steadily been changing, and that I don't really fit in with it anymore. I still really appreciate it for what it has given me in the 3 years I've posted here, but it's not the same, and I feel the more I come, the more I'm reminded of how it used to be.

That's not to say I have anything against the new things about it or the people. It's just that I feel like one of the last survivors of some era. So many of the people who've been my friends and fellow posters ever since I've come are slowly leaving, and it's a little lonely being among the last.

I will still post on here when I can (there's a new Internet ban on at my house anyway, so I can't even go online much at all), but I don't know how often. Anyway, I just wanted to give you all a heads-up in case I suddenly disappear for good one day.

Thank you.

P.S. That sounded extremely melodramatic, and I'm sorry. But it does feel like a moving occasion, saying farewell to such an important part of my life, and I don't know how I could do it sufficiently.

You will be remembered fondly, Everinne, as are other Chatterboxers who have grown up and moved on. But remember you can check in with us at any time and let us know how you're doing.
