User blog:Rando07/With Regret

Hey there, folks. It's been a while.

Some of you already knew this was coming, and I'm sure others of you were suspecting it for a while. I will be leaving the wiki until further notice, and resigning from my position as bureaucrat. A little anticlimactic? Of course. Overdue? Definitely.

To be perfectly honest, I've been debating doing this for a while (months, to be exact). It's been a great 7 years, but my time has come. As I'm sure you're all aware, I haven't been editing a whole lot recently. My last edit was just over two weeks ago, and all I did was simply add a category to an article. Not only that, but in the past two months I've made a grand total of 6 edits, combining to a measly total of 826 bytes. Even To Ascend is bigger than that.

The reasons for my dwindling activity over the past few months (years, even) have become incredibly clear recently. I fear that my creativity is close to non-existent at this point, my motivation to even try write/MOC/etc. has vanished, and my ability to contribute is limited by university.

As the title of this blog says, I'm doing this with regret. While I was actually active I had a great time, contributing and talking to you all via our numerous interchanging chat methods. But my mental health is suffering. A growing number of personal issues and my second year of university really do require my focus. I need to keep my priorities straight, and in doing so I must cut loose the things which don't mean that much to me anymore. Unfortunately, one of those things is CBW.

I would like to say that I'll stick around on chat every now and then, but I can't. If/when I can sort myself out, maybe I'll pop in every now and then, but I don't see that happening any time soon.

Thank you all, CBW. &mdash; Rando 07  17:33, October 15, 2016 (UTC)
