One Good Stretch Before Our Hibernation || Personal
Everyone take a deep breath, yes? Grab a cup of nice drink, this may be a long one.
Walt Academy---where do I begin with you?
I remember the very first days when the only little students running around were a deer, a mermaid, a warrior of China, a sea witch, a little skeleton girl and a crab.
For more than a year now, this place, all of you people, you were my sanctuary. My home away from home, if you will. The one place I had to escape from all of the shit going on in the real world and in my own mind, and to enter this one, through the eyes of Shelby Crabb.
And Shelby and I, we both made some amazing friends along the way. Shelby even got a few new roommates, namely Bamba, Daphne, Ben, Raina, Max, Finn, Spencer, Amanda, Lola, Raye, Landon, and Ophelia.
And sometimes, a few stragglers, (namely Daphne Raye and Landon) didn't make it to this point.
I have grown so attached to these little idiots, they were almost like little horcruxes--pieces of my own boggled mind. They have acted as coping mechanisms, and as teachers. Examples of the ways that things can go, of how to trust, to love, to grow.
Which only hurts me to say more--
I will be leaving Walt Academy.
I will miss you guys incredibly, but not nearly as much as I have loved watching all of you grow, not only as writers, but as people as well.
The friends I have made along this journey have changed me. And for that, I cannot thank you enough. I do hope that the seemingly frayed ends being left are not severed here. My reasons to leave at this time are all my own. I will be keeping all of my characters blogs open, just for my own nostalgia. Perhaps one day, you'll see a crazy little redhead come back on the dash. I hope you'll smile, because she'd surely be smiling at you.
If you remember nothing else from me, I just ask that you please remember these things, above all else.
You are each wonderful people.
You will each be in my heart.
You all deserve more thank yous than I could ever speak.
You are all loved.
To those of whom whose path does divert from mine, I wish you every success in all your endeavors, even those beyond Walt Academy.
This piece is specifically for Jordan:
Don't ever let tell you that you're less than wonderful. You have a maturity that speaks beyond your years and are a wonderful role model for people. You did such a wonderful job with creating our little world. I hope that every happiness comes to you, that your dreams come true, and that you really don't ever change. Thank you for giving me a place to hide, and for culminating a community of beautiful people. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you.
