I'm sure I've missed a lot of things, but I have heard about a new version of Spellbound that's supposedly starting soon, and I just have a few things to say about it.

Firstly, I have decided that I will not be moving over to the new RP with everyone. While it has been a pleasure to write with everyone here, the significant amount of time that I have spent on Tumblr because of it has taken away some of my focus from my schoolwork. I'm nearing the end of the semester, so I've had tons of assignments in the past few weeks and exams to do next week, which is why I haven't been around. Truthfully, I know I've overcommitted to this RP (there is no hint of regret in that statement, trust me), but it's time for me to start focusing on what matters. I'm graduating in 5 months and I really need to step up my game. I don't know if that's going to happen if I'm constantly glued to the computer. I know the storylines are changing, but I apologize for withdrawing my characters who will not be around to fulfil those plots from here on.

Secondly, I am sorry for having to give up the characters I've been playing up until now. I've loved playing them every step of the way and more than enjoyed creating their rich backgrounds as I go along. It is incredibly saddening to know that the new RP will not encompass everything I have worked on for the last 7 months, but if starting fresh is the goal, then I understand. However, I hope all of you will not forget what I have tried to do for this roleplay, and that is to be a great writing partner that has hopefully inspired you to practice your craft. At the end of the day, that is what roleplays should be for and I hope everyone remembers that.

Thirdly, since I wholeheartedly agree with my above statement, I must say that I have been severely disappointed with the amount of OOC drama that has occurred around here. I will never say that I was not at fault for anything that was going on here, but I do believe everyone could have handled it better. As for trying to move on, it seems that this has been an impossible feat, and it has been made evident by this new version of the roleplay. Truth be told, I think everybody here does require a reality check. I understand how involved and devoted one can get to things happening on the internet, but there is life outside of your computer. Get out there and find it. You may think that nobody outside of the internet understands you or gives two shits about you and your interests, but it's not true. The fact of the matter is: the longer you stay sitting in front of the computer, the less of a chance you'll have at finding these people. Get out there, make more friends at school, chat up the next person you bump into at Starbucks, anything. I am concerned at how much this roleplay OOC drama has affected some of you, because it means that you are more focused on what's happening here than in real life. Grow up. Get out there. Take what you deserve in life, because nobody is going to hand it to you. In a few years, hopefully all of you will be getting ready to truly become an adult and find a great job and start the rest of your lives. Given what I've seen, though, rarely any of you are ready for that just yet. 

I have had a marvellous time being here and meeting all of the roleplayers. I will always be thankful that Chrisie decided to start this in the first place, because I would have never found the ad for the Chelsea Smith character in Candice Accola's tag and found this truly promising community that I really wanted to be a part of. Unfortunately, it has gotten to be too much, and I hope that you all understand my intentions behind this farewell. May God bless each and every one of you. It has truly been a memorable ride.

Before I go I just remembered. It’s the 11/11 tomorrow! Wile you all make wishes because all the numbers are the same or something dumb like that I will be wearing my Poppy with pride. I am not a Bristish citizen, according to my tutor I shouldnt wear one. I call England my home, you have no idea what a great place it is ‘till you go somewhere like my country. I love paying my respects to all the troops who died in WW1 and every war since. They made this country a safe home for me. Never Forget.
