While I've been here for quite a while, I think it's really time for me to let go of SSD.
I may drop by every now and then, but I think I've finally moved on from SSD after
what many years here. I finally found things that I am passionate about and things
that I intend to do for the rest of my life. I'm working in that direction slowly and I
think it's really time to officially bid a farewell.
I just got a wake-up call from someone just now who made me realise some things
in my life that I really need to work on and responsibility is one of them, so I think
I should start here.
This thread is just a summary of my thoughts that I feel I have to write before I leave,
because I've let a few people down and I am really sorry for it.
To Miss Withheld Beauty: I'm truly sorry really. About Art Group, Herald and Literature
board especially. I can think up of so many excuses and what-nots but I think the
most decent thing would just be... "I'm sorry." I didn't think I did a good job on
Literature board at all. Art Group I tried, but after I got up to Literature Mod my
board access disappeared so I assumed I was dismissed or something.
Herald I've tried the best I can amidst all the other things, and I guess I'm just
a terrible time-manager. So I'm really sorry. Oh, and sorry about MSN last night.
I was already asleep when you dropped me the message.
To Barbie: I feel guilty for destroying the board you've tried so hard to build up,
maintain and nurture. I'm really sorry. Truly am. Hope you're doing fine in your
three-dimensional world now because I think I'm finally living my life and I'm happy.
And I think I never told you, but I think your name is awesome. BARBIE!
To Tonya: I'm so sorry for not talking anymore, but with the many things in my life now
I hardly find time to talk on MSN anymore. Plus with the time difference and all it's really
tough. I don't know if you read SSD anymore but if you do, I'm sorry. And I will honestly
find time to chat on MSN with you. <3
To the literature community: I've not been a good moderator and I certainly suck
at it. I hope you all wouldn't stop working your keyboards and your quills and your
pens. Don't stop writing!
To SSD at large: Thank you very much; When I first joined this place I was deeply
interested in web design. I joined because of the skin, and stayed because I felt
that there was so much to learn and I can learn so much from this place. Back then
coding was the best thing ever here and all the talks of DOM and what-nots was
really taunting but exciting as well. SSD also got me back into writing, and improved
me as a writer. Then when I started photography, SSD was the first place I dared to
post in. It was a platform, at least to me, for newbies to improve themselves. And
I certainly did. So thank you SSD, for getting me into design, writing and
photography - basically almost my entire life now. So I have SSD to thank.
While I wished that I had left knowing that I've made a difference, I think really
I've failed to live up to my own expectations, failed the responsibilities that I've
undertaken. So with that I think the only way for me is to really leave in disgrace.
I hope SSD never dies, because it certainly wouldn't in my heart. It sounds stupid
and mushy and whatever, but it's true. It will always hold a place in my heart. But
even the best thing has to end. So I think my journey in SSD is done.
Love,
Kai.
