A Choice to be Made

Drew Espinosa

There is no easy way to say this, but these last few days have been trying and absolutely overwhelming.

 

I, tried my best, to stay afloat, and go about my business as usual- like hanging out with my friends on GA and joking around with them. But, my god, it felt hollow this week.  There is a hole in my heart right now, and everything has simply gotten too much for me to handle.

 

GA no longer felt like my home away from home, so, I faced a grim choice concerning my future on this site; should I leave GA or should I stay?

 

In the end, I've decided to stay. But... I was sorely tempted to wash my hands of this mess and walk away. But the cons outweighed the pros; if I had left, it would mean leaving my friends, friends that for all intents and purposes are my family. And I couldn't bear the thought of doing so.

 

However, staying doesn't unbreak my heart. And so, there will be changes on my part- for the foreseeable future, I am keeping my presence in the Forums to a minimum, and will focus on the thing that originally brought me here- reading great stories.

 

Just remember, I love each and every one of you. :hug::kiss: And, I promise not to disappear entirely on you all. :heart: 

 

-Drew

"I am keeping my presence in the Forums to a minimum, and will focus on the thing that originally brought me here- reading great stories."

 

It's the best thing you can do, believe me. It's what I've always done. I've seen some of the crap that's been going down here lately and I'm not interested in bitching or pulling hair, it's a drag and a total waste of my time. You will never see me attack anyone on this site in public or spread gossip, that's not the way I do it. I've been through that stage as a kid and it doesn't do anything for me anymore. Looking at some of these forums, well, I have to be honest, I've had better times watching paint dry!

 

Having said that, I have participated, when I happen to see something that I find funny, interesting or educational. You are one of the few that fits into all three of those categories and a big asset to the site and other members. You're definitely one of the guys that I enjoy seeing here and reading what you have to say. I try to get along with most of the people here and the really cool ones like you, respond, but the ones that don't, well, that's their loss. I'm glad that you decided to stay Drew because quite frankly, it's a lot better place with you in it.

The same can be said about you. Being an asset.

:*) Jeez, I blushed so hard after reading this, Dodge. It's very hard for me to accept any form of compliment, but thank you for your kind words. :hug: They really mean a lot. :heart: 

 

And I agree with @BlindAmbition You are an asset to this site. You have added to the amazing tapestry of stories here on GA- The Cockney Canuk. It is a privilege for many of us, that you share your writing with us. After saying that, I realized I have been remiss in leaving reviews for your chapters, so this calls for a Summer re-read! :D 

 

PS: As y'all can tell, I'm feeling a whole lot better. :hug:
