Hey everyone, this is a post to let you all know a little what’s going on with me right now. First of all, I really love the IEG family. Secondly, I am leaving IEG. This place got me through the first semester of my freshman year which probably would’ve been one of the most painful times in my life without IEG. The story that I built up for Buffy was an outlet for my creativity. I loved plotting and para-ing, I loved interacting and analyzing my character. But more than that, I feel like I’ve made some lasting friendships here. IEG made me believe that there are people in this world who love Buffy as much as I do, which are hard to come by out there in the real world. I had such great plans for Buffy that will never be able to come to fruition and the loss is upsetting.
But I have to go. My life is getting busier and busier and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down any time soon. There just isn’t time in my life left to make for RPing. I was given a week to up my activity, but I know I won’t be any less busy in the next week or the week after that or any of the coming weeks. So I’m leaving now, leaving before I get it in my head that I can do this and then am let down. It’s already painful enough to be leaving. I just realized today that dragging this process out will only make it worse. I’m a theater student and I need to focus my energy on that, because in the end my career is going to be in acting- not RPing. I hope everyone can understand that. I’m not leaving because I don’t think it’s worth trying to save my place here. No, it’s far from that. But I’ve got to make a choice and I’m choosing to focus on my future.
To all those who I had plot lines with, I’m sorry to leave them. I wanted so badly to see where this great season would go, what the future held, but this is what I have chosen. I wish I could stay on and stalk this RP, see for myself what happens, but to watch someone else play the Buffy of IEG that I’ve come to love so much would be the worst form of masochism. I’ve genuinely formed bonds and emotions over some of the character relationships that were made here, and I love all of you as people as well. What has happened during my time here at IEG will always be cannon in my heart, and that’s saying a lot. IEG really is like a family. IEG is a family I will never forget and will always miss.
If anyone would like to keep in contact with me, here is my personal. I’m always there for any of you, just because I’m leaving doesn’t mean I love you any less. If you message me there, I can give you all the contact information you could ever need. I will not be deleting the Buffy blog just because I put my heart and soul into what I did here.
Peace, Love, and Blessings
