Not a goodbye

[Ange Keating]

I don't want this to sound like a 'goodbye', because it's not, and I care for you all too much for it to be one; this is more of a 'I'll be around in the shadows somewhere, lurking (LOL that sounds creepy omfg)'. But in all seriousness, life has completely taken over and with studying for my MCATS and getting a job and doing a bunch of other new and time-consuming (albeit exciting!) things, I simply don't have the time I'd like to have for hobbies.

A lot of you I've known for 4-5+ years and, to me, that's truly amazing. You're all like a family to me (even all you newcomers!), and I won't forget the wonderful times we've shared together. You've known me since my awkward years as a 13/14-year-old, and now I'm nearly finishing college! It's insane.

I don't want to make this too long, or sappy (#thugtears), so I'll keep it short and sweet. I love you guys!! And I'm so so so thankful for all you've taught me, and for being just really great friends. They say online friendships aren't as 'legitimate' as in real ones, but I've made great bonds during my time here, and if you guys want to talk to me whenever, PM me for my phone number/AIM/skype. We'll definitely keep in touch.

Also as for all the people I was roleplaying with (Laura, Mercy, Victoria), I'm so sorry for falling off the face of the planet and I wish I could've continued with the fantastic stories we were crafting. Maybe one day, if time allows, we'll be able to pick up where we left off if you're willing.

And a thanks to Aly as well. Picking up my slack wasn't easy, and the fact that you've been so supportive and helpful is something I truly appreciate. Thank you so so so much – I enjoyed my tenure while it lasted. To the new staff member, whomever it'll be, I know you'll do an excellent job.

Thanks for everything, it's been an incredible ride.

I guess if you have to go off to save lives or whatever you're excused for not being chained here Thank you for everything you've done so far! I look forward to seeing you around in the near future.

And I know you'll do wonderfully in med school. You're going to make a huge difference and help a lot of people <3
