The Extended Goodbye
4 years ago
I cannot believe it is already time for me to leave again. It feels like only yesterday I came bursting back through that door and got pelted by darts. I am still in shock from the warm welcome I received and will always be grateful for it. Like I have mentioned time and time again, you are all such wonderful furs and it has been an absolute blast chatting with you all, even if it was brief. I have made some great memories these last few weeks that I will never forget! But sadly, it is time for me to get ready for school and head back. This is by far the worst part of any break, as it always pains me to say goodbye to amazing furs like you guys.
Similar to before, I am going completely offline, which means no telegram, fur affinity, and twitter. My workload is so large at school. I need to devote all of my attention to it. This means I can’t have any distractions no matter how amazing they are. If I want to survive my classes, I need to make this sacrifice every time I return to college. But different to before, there is going to be a larger gap of time between now and when I return. Currently, there are two possibilities for me: The first one involves me leaving for an entire year. It kills my heart to be away from the community for so long, but unfortunately I would have no other option. This possibility would involve an internship over the summer with a game studio. It would be a surreal experience if I got the position, as it has been a dream of mine since a young age. However, because of the internship I wouldn’t be around until next winter break. The other possibility would be returning in the summer. If I don’t get an internship, I will be home for the break. If this happens, it is very likely I will open up commissions and be around to chat. I will be able to relax at home and take my time making artwork for this community. But regardless of what happens, it will be at least 6 months before I can return.
I am going to miss each and every one of you. I will cherish all the memories we forged, be it good or bad. I hope you all have a wonderful year ahead of you!! I am terrible at goodbyes, so instead let’s just say, “until next time!” And don’t forget: A true act of goodwill always sparks another!

We will ALL miss you but we understand.
Good luck to you!!!
See you again!
We will be here waiting!
Lots of love, and be safe!

And if you hopefully ever come back around here I'll try to keep a look out with
whatever you do there like you whenever post art or a journal you made like this here.
Okay see you around and hope things will go by fast and you'll come back here soon
and whenever you have the time to not be too busy there to just
come by and say hi and stuff post some of your art you do there. Farewell.
Thanks again for everything! ^www^
