I'll Miss You All So Much

In a year when I was too sick to go out, I found a whole world here online. It's time though, to reclaim my happy life. For all of the tremendous, thoughtful, and lovely individuals I have met here, too much online participation has made me pessimistic, reclusive, and less courageous. Limit Break has been a dream for me, and so many of you helped that happen. But my bigger dreams are of health and kindness and genuine purpose.

This is, in no way to say that I am better than or not fond of everything I have found online. More accurately, it is to say that it gives me too much of a free pass in neglecting the relationships and goals that stand in front of me.

To all of the amazing Gameriot writers and publishers, I promise I will follow you and support you quietly. You are dear to me in ways you do not know, and you have given me a great deal of faith in this big world. I am not great at giving anyone as much attention as they deserve, but understand you have had a big hand in restoring my old self.

Sol, Flower Chucker, Ag, Proj, Idol, Heretica, Dizko, Slapnuts, Cue, Benks, Vir, Cleric, Extremist, Lonethar and a hundred others--thank you, thank you. You are so talented and so inspiring. Thanks also to the amazing graphics team at GR--every new set of images was like a little chest of gifts.

Most importantly, I wanted to say thank you to my darling Evan--who reads all my silly posts, listens to all of my silly dreams, and laughs at all my silly looks. Five playful, dynamic, beautiful years are a great start, and although, as my readers will note, I am too opinionated, too fragile, and far too mercurial, you still smile at me, treat me to bubble tea, and never complain when I scream along to the Pixies.

Please all do keep writing and reading at Hellforge. It's growing every day because of hard work and total collaboration. Keep challenging one another, trying harder, and enjoying it all. Games are fun, but not as fun as all of you.

With the absolute best wishes,

Snail
