User blog comment:Amberflower/Don't Leave!/@comment-1703139-20130328235435

Alright, I'm going to address this assuming it's directed to me, because even though you say it isn't, I really am the only one leaving. Everyone else is just 'taking a break', whatever the heck that means.

Maybe for you little ones this wiki doesn't have to be something serious, doesn't have to be something you spend a lot of time on, shouldn't be something you have to loose to make room for something else. 'Everyone has SOME free time'. Hah. Do me a favor and go back and read that when you get to high school.

On average, this is my day- wake up at 6, go to school, and afterwards I usually have to stay for theater and I don't leave until 9 at night. After that, or assuming I don't have theater, I am either hanging out with my friends, taking care of my dog, doing homework, doing extra credit, researching colleges, trying to find a job, and trying to get 8 hours of sleep (spoiler alert- usually closer to 5).

Maybe for someone new like you or Robo or Rainy or whoever, that's doable. But you also have to factor in that, technically, I am in charge of this entire place. All 75 or so active users and nearly 5,000 pages and all the tiny hitches and bumps in the road. And believe me, there is always a tiny hitch or bump in the road.

I loved my time here, don't get me wrong. And I will probably check in every once in a while. But I also promised myself I would begin to be more honest, because I'm really not going to have to deal with this much longer, which is why I will say this: after I have served the wiki for...what has it been? 3 years? And you've been here for barely more then a month, who are you to tell me not to leave? You don't know what my life is like outside of this wiki or on it.

You're a nice user Amberflower, but really the fact that you expect us to be able to come on and dedicate part of our lives to writing fanfiction about cats (which we all love, of course) without knowing anything about the things we deal wit daily is unreasonable.

The wiki will not fall apart without me. You guys are tough little critters. And I would really like to think people will still read Cinders after I'm gone.

It's not the end of the world. So don't act like it is. :)
