And so this is goodbye? For now?
Never in a million and a half years did I think that I would be making this post, and now that I am, I’m not even sure what there is for me to say, but I’m going to give it a shot anyway.
Six months ago, I started the original In The Moment with one of my closest friends that I met through roleplaying named Sam. Over the course of the following six months, I can honestly, truly say that I’ve had the absolute best roleplaying experience of my life. In the Moment/A New Chapter introduced me to some of the most amazing people I have ever had the pleasure of speaking to, and I’ve remained so close to so many of them, even if they are no longer a part of this family. There’s been ups, and there have been some definite downs, but no matter what, I truly feel like ITM is giant, solid family. I care about all of you more than anything, and it’s been so amazing to talk to you all both in and out of character and have a chance to write with so many of you.
This probably sounds so terrible because there are actually tears in my eyes right now as I type this, but I seriously cannot stress how much I love you all enough. I don’t know if there’s one thing that’s motivating me to do this over all the other reasons, but I just know that right now is the time I need to bow out as Katie and as mod of In the Moment. My life has been hectic lately between school and work, and this summer is the last summer that I’m going to have either in my state or in my house, and I want to take full advantage of that instead of having to worry about an roleplay. That, and I’ve been pretending to be Katie for so long, I think I just need some serious Nicole Time.
I was going to do that thing where I list a bunch of people’s names, but I honestly just can’t do that right now for everyone, but it wouldn’t feel right if I didn’t at least include two names:
Shelby- I literally could not have asked for a better Owen. You are one of the most amazing writers I’ve ever worked with, and you added so much to Owen’s character. I absolutely love you, and I know that whenever I have a problem, I can run to you for help, and I hope you realize the same. Our Kowen was flawless, and more than anything, I’m going to miss writing with you. And I just can’t even right now. I have too many emotions.
Kim- You are, without a doubt, the best Eli on Tumblr. I adore you, and I’m so glad that I get to say that I’ve hung out with you on more than one occasion. You’re going to do an amazing job taking my place a mod on In the Moment, I have no doubt about it. And I’ll never stop lurking you form a distance.
I’ve had such an amazing time roleplaying as Katie for over six months (I had moved this Katie account to ITM from another roleplay), but it’s just not the same for me anymore, and I don’t want to do this if my heart’s just not in the way it used to be. There’s a lot of people I’m going to be crying to, and a few people I might even be apologizing to, but overall, I know that this is what’s best. And have no fear, In the Moment isn’t going anywhere You guys are going to have the greatest mod in the world once Kim takes my place.
So this is really it for me, and I doubt anyone bothered to read all of this, but if you did, you have my love 5ever. I’ll still be around, lurking the OOC blog, and I’ll be on AIM, of course (Writtenbykatie). You can even follow my Degrassi tumblr if you really want to.
Have I mentioned how amazing of a time I’ve had? But for now, I think it’s time to close the roleplaying chapter of my life, at least for a few months. Don’t you ever stop being flawless. I literally cannot stress enough just how much I love you all.
