Chatterbox: Down to Earth

To EveryoneF

To Everyone

First off, NO I'm not leaving. That's not what this post is about, so let's get that out of the way. I might leave, I'm considering, but not today. I just wanted to say that so many people are leaving, so many people are hurting, and the CB is a really sad place right now. I'm sad, I bet you're sad, it's hard. The CB isn't a happy place that I want to be anymore. I could really use some comfort right now. :-,(

back to the Down to Earth

Hey, Leeli, it's okay. We're all a little stressed out right now, and the worst thing about this issue is that there is no real compromise. People have different beliefs, and that's okay. Give it some time, the CB will return to normal eventually. It always does. 

Also, please don't leave! You're one of my best friends on here (is it mutual? I have no idea) and we would all be so, so sad if you left. We need your cheerful personality right now. Don't worry about it, this will all blow over eventually.

Thanks Bluebird. I've always felt close to you, to. :-) I don't think I'll leave. If I do, it probably won't be forever. And after all, how can I be sad at Christmas? XD

Aww Leeli... I'm here for you. See, I'm not the best at giving comforting words. I'm more of an actions kind of person when it comes to that. I would be devastated if you left, though. You really are one of the happiest people on the CB, always willing to give a smile or a kind word. I send you virtual hugs. And ice cream. Lots of it. Ice cream is the best comfort food. Especially the soft serve vanilla kind from Akumal, Mexico. Mmm... 

Anyways, please don't be sad! I hate seeing people upset...

In a couple of weeks, we're all going to look back on this and remember it as a sad time, yes, but we'll have some interesting name for it, and new CBers will see it as an example of how close we are, being able to get through this. Hmm... I wonder what it would be called. The Issue? The Beliefs War? I don't know.

I send you love and happiness, from wherever I am to wherever you are. We will get through this, and be all the closer because of it.

Love from the skies,

Stay beautiful,

Kestrel

Can everyone just... chill? Some people disagreed, it was resolved, and now it's over. Yes, a few people left, it was kinda stressful, but can we just stop dwelling on it? It's nearly Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa, let's just forgive and forget.

@what

I have not been here long enough to truly feel close to anyone. Although Leeli, you kind to me from the start. That's not my point, though.

What I mean to say is that the people that are leaving are people that were--- ARE-- particularly cared for on the CB. They've been around for a long time, and we clearly all thought they would still be here for a long time yet. These people have a big impact. I don't know if you are someone who is newer to the Chatterbox, or are just completely removed from the relationships of this, but please try to have some empathy. The issue is resolved, yes. But some close relationships are being lost. I personally have not been around long enough to love anyone yet, but I do see how they feel.

And we are forgiving. It will take time to forget, but everyone is forgiving, from what I have read. Things like this don't just blow through like whispers in the wind. They come and go at a much slower march, like the slow rise from spark to raging flame. But we will 'chill'. Just let people figure out their emotions first.
