it's not like you didn't all see this coming.
i don't upload art.
i don't return comments often.
i haven't been thanking anyone for faves.
i don't log onto my groups i should be managing.
i don't update my journal because of fear.
i don't make polls anymore really.
i don't do features and news articles or contests.
i'm barely online at all on dA.


i've seen this happen so many times to artists i love and i hate that i'm becoming one of them.
but, now you have it:
my official dA resignation/hiatus.


i'll still be viewing art (commenting and faving; just not as frequently.)
i may upload a picture or writing when it comes to me.
and i'll habitually check comments and maybe reply to some of them.
(they'll all remain in my inbox and not deleted after being read in case i decide to return)
but, this place has become an unsafe place for me now,
i've become overwhelmed,
and though i've considered starting a new account;
that'd never be the same as this one.



i don't know when i'll return.
i don't know if i'll EVER be active again.
i just don't know.
but for reasons i can't express,
i just.. can't be here like i could before.


but?
i'll still read and see what's going on in YOUR lives,
but if you want to know about mine..?
there's
facebook:  [link]
twitter: [link]
formspring: [link]
last.fm: [link]

all of these are locked and protected accounts
and they're places i've neglected a lot, too.
i'm too tired for messages and comments and notes and emails.
they're too long and i can't take care of everyone anymore.
but?
it is a way to stay in touch.
so, i hope that you do.

i love you all.

thank you for everything you've given me.
this feels like a death,
but i'm not leaving forever.
at least,
not quite like we usually see here.
