Stepping down for a while.

<< < (2/2)

DeviantProtagonist:
We're nearing the end, so I'll leave closing thoughts. Some may want to deliberate with what I will say:

You can either be a fan to protect what you love from everything... or you can be one where you'll need to face your lumps, learn from them, then grow stronger.

It's a matter of regression verses progression, and far too many Producers take the latter for granted. I did just that, as well, but I've driven myself out of it finally.

Even then, there'll always be one too many here who hold themselves back. If it can be helped, know this has been, and always will be, my drive for good things.


--- Quote from: Rin on November 01, 2016, 06:35:16 pm ---Well, if this is the case, then maybe you were never really 'lost' to begin with. More to the point, I feel like it might be just part of who you are? Of course, I don't mean that in a bad way. People just get mixed up or confused sometimes. I don't see that as a good reason to separate yourself from the people that enjoy your company. If anything, they can help you if you're open with them, and I'm sure they know you would want to help them the same if they had any issue.

I know well enough how this stuff hurts. I had to go through it from two different people at the same time, about two years ago. I managed to salvage something with one of them, mostly because he made a relatively innocent mistake, but I don't think I can ever forgive, nor do I miss, the other one due to how quickly and violently he turned on me despite spending upwards of three years together, the three of us.

Also, for what it's worth, I have spent time thinking and I don't find myself bothered by what started my side of our disagreement. I always said I understood that everyone has their own opinions and interests, yet that was the one thing I couldn't stand for. I'm sorry for even making it possible to be an issue.

My point is, through all of this, some things don't have to be done alone.
--- End quote ---

That's no doubt very painful, Rin. Never could I stand to lash at people, so know I'm still a willing friend.

Sadly, there are issues wherein they become so complicated to address openly. I've reached out, but there's really only one person to close my wound fully; make no mistake, I do miss the guy and those clever puns.

It might be a childish dream, but hell, I'll roll with it. Even if I'm met with all the venom and blind eyeing in the world, I refuse to turn my back on him; I'd always thank him for befriending me; for bringing me here. Period.

Nevertheless, I'm no longer afraid. During my absence, I've learned to better control my negative emotions, so as to direct them more for a cause over ruin -- you never really change, but you can adapt for the merrier.

I'll look to defy the expectations of those who deem my worst in things. Consider that much a promise.

Beyond this? You're right, nobody is truly alone. I feel it's about time to let you in on something extraordinary; while several things accounted for my decision to leave for only November, this arguably bore more weight.

A very special someone wished to lend their encouragement; it inspired me to cherish her way more than ever. I won't say who or how out of respect... but it says even big people do think small, where it really counts.

Given the incentive, I'll fight on as her fan. See you next week on Discord as now I've owed everything.

Well, you did your job and held out your hand to apologize to Naryoril, and it seems like he wants to forgive/forget. 

So, thank you, Naryoril for helping to resolve this conflict.

And, you also held out your hand to your other friend.  I hope someday your other friend whoever he is will come to his senses and respect Naryoril’s decision.  And, shake your hand.   If not, well…then I’ll shake your hand just because I don’t like seeing an empty-handshake.

But, you keep marching forward.   And, be proud that you’re someone who can acknowledge his mistake, improve himself, and strive to be a better person. 

And, don’t worry.  We all have to watch out for each other.  We’ll let you know if you’re messing up again.
