Hello Paint, if you didn't know I'm sandisgoodtoeat's alt account (sandisgoodtoeat got deleted for reasons I don't want to get into btw). I have decided after a lot of thought that I will be taking a break for a long time, I might come back sometime in a year or two just to see how Paint is doing but don't count on it. Anyway I have some things I want to say.
First my reasons for leaving in order of most important to least important:
1. I changed
I joined Paint at a difficult time in my life, I was messed up in the head and I just was not doing well, was an L time as the kidz say. And I'm just not the same person as I was back then, I've gotten better, I'm consistently happy, I have good and trusting relationships with the people in my life but whenever I get on Paint I'm reminded of back then and the person I used to be, and it is not pleasant to say the least.
2. Others changed
I want to preface this by saying I have nothing against new Painters, y'all seem nice and thank you so much for keeping Paint going so what I say in this is not meaning to hurt or offend y'all. Things have changed though, people I thought I could trust betrayed me and I just can't forgive them(I'm not naming names because this in't meant to start and/or reignite drama please don't argue in the comments), I've drifted away from some people on here who I used to be close to and that's left me with two people who I've stayed on here for, and new Painters have come in and part of why I haven't tried to connect with y'all is that a lot of you remind me of me when I first joined and, again that's painful. Also, I just find it hard to relate, a new era is coming to Paint and I guess I'm too slow to catch up, a new era coming to Paint isn't a bad thing at all, things have to change to grow, it's just one straw in the load that broke this camel's back. I am happy to hear of Hullbreach's new project though I think I might try that when it's out.
3. The whole overlord thing
Pretty self explanatory, someone got overlord who shouldn't have, promoted their friends to overlords, and they abused their power, just really bothered me.
4. drama
It seems like everytime I get on Paint a new source of drama is unfolding and I just don't like it.
Okay, sorry that this happened but it had to happen at some point, again this isn't against anybody, except for those overlords I hate them, this is mostly me.
Even though this blog was featured in error, all I can really say is: God speed, pal. Honestly, it takes a real one to realize the toxins in their life so they can be flushed out. And if this place is a toxin to your well being, then by all means, cut it out.
