Oh my Gandalf! We are going to miss you so much DX. We don't care if you don't post often! Don't leave! You move at your own speed, thats awesome! You don't try to cram in as much time on the cb as possible and to be like everyone else!

You don't need to leave!! 

I think you have made your choice, and if it is the choice you want to make, we won't change it. I won't meddle with the future that is rightfully yours.

But I will say this: The ferris wheel may seem like a high-speed roller-coaster, but you don't need to ride it. There are many different rides here at cb, which go at their own pace. Even if these slow-paced rides break down, the few that stand will welcome you. 

Hey, hey, hey. Wait a minute. Hold the phone. You are not a hinderence to CB. I would love to know where you got that idea, because it's plain not true (no pun intended). You are a part of CB, like a puzzle piece or a queen in the deck of cards. You are not a piece of popcorn someone threw into the puzzle box or a business card in the card deck. You are a part of CB, as you are. You're different, yes. (I prefer to say that you are unique.) You are the only piece that will fit second to the right and five down. And you're the only queen of hearts. Without you, no puzzle will ever be complete, and no game of solitaire will ever be won.

And the ferris wheel does slow down, if you want to think of it that way. This ferris wheel is a hard one to ride - it comes with experience. The view is awesome from the top, but at the bottom, it's like riding a bucking horse. You may get dumped out of your seat when it comes down, but you can wait and watch the people who managed to stay on, and when it comes down again, use what you're learned and jump back into your place. Your seat will come back around, because the wheel is a circle. And we're also part of the circle - not one of us is greater or more important than any of the others. We'll have our turn to shine at the top, and take our turn at the beatings you get from the bottom. We all tumble out, and that makes us stronger riders. But if we don't come back, the circle is broken, and it's this arc that can't roll. 

Repeat: You are not a hinderence to this community, you are neither a lagger and nor are you perfect. (But none of us are, let me assure you.) You are awesome and amazing, and most importantly, you are yourself, in every wonderful way. And we want you to stay, and we welcome you to stay at CB. If you really want to leave and feel like it's time for you to say goobye to CB, no one can stop you. Good luck to your life, if you are. But don't leave if you're doing it to make us happy and not yourself. Go ahead and be a bit selfish. Because we want you to stay as much as you do. I hope you'll choose to stay because you are awesome and you are a wonderful part to this community. I'll really miss you if you leave.

What?

NO, YW! Just no. We don't care if you can't post often! We don't care! You'll always be a special part of the CB in our hearts, YW. If you leave now... well... I'm kind of speechless.

Sorry.

Just speechless.

NO! NOOOOONONO! 

[Admins, please keep this in caps and italics and occasional bold, I want to give Young Writer the biggest lecture she's ever gotten. THIS IS IMPORTANT. I would probably be yelling at her in real life.]  

GET OVER HERE, YOUNG LADY! I DON'T CARE IF I'M YOUNGER THAN YOU, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THE BIGGEST TELLING-OFF YOU'VE GOTTEN IN YOUR LIFE!

First of all, who put that ridiculous notion in your head of being a "hindrance"? Every Chatterboxer is nothing short of a miracle! YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE PERSON AND DON'T YOU DARE EVER FORGET THAT!!! 

Second of all, if you want to stay, then STAY! We all love you! We ALL WANT YOU TO STAY!!! I once thought the same things, that the Chatterbox would be better off without me. The wonderful, wonderful people here showed me that I couldn't have been farther from the truth. (I'm sounding a bit egotistical.) EVERY CHATTERBOXER IS A PERSON WITHOUT WHOM CHATTERBOX CITY WOULD NOT BE COMPLETE!!! And last time I checked the list of "Every Chatterboxer", it included a certain "Young Writer." 

Third of all, ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT YOU ARE GETTING YOURSELF LEFT IN THE DUST? Then stop sitting there and get back up. Don't just get off of the track! Even if you're lagging behind in this never-ending Caucus-race of the Chatterbox, you are still a VALUED AND ESSENTIAL INDIVIDUAL, DO YOU HEAR ME?! VALUED AND ESSENTIAL INDIVIDUAL!!!  

SO COME THE FEMALE PARENTAL UNIT OF ALL WRITING BACK!!! IT'S NOT OPEN FOR DISCUSSION!!! 

We'll miss you. `sniff sniff sniff`

Young Writer, if you think it is best for you to leave, then that's your choice and please just know that we miss you and hope you will come back some Valentine's day (that's the return-to-the-CB-day) in the future. But please don't feel like the CB is leaving you behind or that you're not brilliant... just as much as you said that the CB is, you are. You are an amazing writer and lots of people would like to get to know you better and no one here will judge you. There is no reason for you to be forced to leave and if that is how you feel, I hope that we can make you feel more involved. If not, I am going to miss you. You are (not were!) an awesome person and writer and CBer and don't ever forget that. I do respect your choice but please come back later if you can and we will welcome you! 

But, why, oh, why do do you have to leave? You said that it would be the hardest thing that you ever wrote. lf you don't want to leave, THEN DON'T. 

You are part of this place. Don't you dare leave. We will miss you more than......Well l don't know. But please, do stay. 

I will so so miss you, Young Writer! Goodbye! I really, really wish you would stay.

Gosh, I'm horrible at goodbyes. I'LL MISS YOU!!! 

Young. Writer. Don't leave. There really should be no reason you should go when you have not even been here a year. Even though the ferris wheel may seem boring, you should take in the view. Ferris wheel rides are long. That's the nature of them. You can't jump off the attraction in the middle of the ride! You'd break something or get killed! Don't kill your presence. Wait until the ride is really over. Because it isn't yet. Keep all hands, arm, legs, body parts, and Young Writers inside the ride. Don't jump. Because we'd go crazy without you. 

(This is the most metaphorical speech I have ever written. Don't give me a reason to feel like that fine writing was wasted.) 

Good grief! Please stay! My blood pressure just went up sixty percent when I saw this post! We might want to start making slow RPs, that might help, BUT DON'T GO! 

Here's my idea, this post got me thinking, what if we start making slow RPs, RP's of course, but make rules that people should only post so often, not every day kind of thing, but make this rule only for certain RPs, like have a Slow RP a different classification than a regular RP. Just a thought.
