    I've been thinking about this since this morning, and I've finally decided what the best course of action to take would be:
    I'm thinking of taking a break from Everypony for an indeterminate amount of time.

    The reasons for this are:
    1.) I feel like I haven't been contributing a whole bunch to this awesome community that I am honored to be a part of! :)
    2.) Since Saturday night, I sometimes haven't been feeling like myself. I've been feeling a mix of sad, depressed, guilty and a bit angrier than I usually am. And I have a feeling that sometimes I've been letting those emotions slip through to the forums when I post here. If/when I post at all.

    Well, there's a couple other reasons I've been feeling like this as well, but they're not things I want to mention at the moment, because I feel that they will make me sound like I'm just flat-out complaining about them, so I don't want to get any of you super-annoyed with me.

    Anyway, after today, I won't be posting here again for I don't know how long. I'll be back when I feel like I can come back. I just need some time to sort out these problems, then I'll be back.
    I'll still pop in here from time to time to see how things are going, but I probably won't be necessarily logging in.

    So, I guess this is goodbye to you all for the time being.

    Until we meet again. :)

    PS: In no way is this your fault, Everypony. This is entirely my decision. :)

    Sad to see you go. I recently had an emotional breakdown of depression, much of which I posted on these forums. I was really embarrassed about it and temporarily left these forums. But since I love this place so much and after wallowing in self pity for a week, I decided to come back. Thanks in large part to some really awesome ponies messaging me and supporting me through a dark time both in and out of these forums.

    This really is best community I have been a part of. I have even joined a surprisingly large local brony forum. But I still love some of you more then them. At least so far, I have yet to hang with them IRL.

    I completely understand, and I know I'm not the only one. You do what you need to do. Come back when and if you want to. Nothing will change here.

    All the best, Lupr.

    Sad to see ya go, but your call there.

    As for this place not changing, that would be rather boring, don't you think? As a certain captain once said, "Stagnation doesn't get you anywhere."
    Hopefully though, the changes will be for the better.

    Shame to see you go. We can't stop you if it's your decision.

    Just remember that EPForums is open, and feel free to come back and we will give you a warm welcome back.

    It's a shame to see you leave, but well, it is your decision after all.

    Just be sure to come back soon! :smile:
