Guys, I’m truly sorry for this, but I’ve gotta take a leave of absence. Don’t know when I’ll be back.
You’re probably wondering why the heck anyone would throw themselves into Role-Playing so ardently, then abruptly declare a leave of absence in the middle of a bunch of games. The thing is, I shouldn’t have started in the first place.
Why did I start? Because I’d given up on my family.
Yeah, you heard me. Given up.
They hadn’t given up on me, oh no. Still haven’t (my sister doesn’t count). But I’d given up on them. A loving, caring Christian home, and I’d given up on it because I wouldn’t forgive Dad for wronging me. Kinda stupid, isn’t it? Someone who professes to be a Christian but won’t forgive his own father. It’s not like he screwed me over, or anything. He just made a hasty judgement when he was really mad, and that was all.
When I gave up, I didn’t move out or anything. I just quit caring. Quit doing. Quit contributing. This was one of the most boring Christmases I’ve ever encountered, and that’s why. Thinking I wouldn’t need a family—that’s a joke. Because I turned around and found you guys.
No, no, don’t get me wrong—you’re a great group. Friendly, helpful, you accepted me without murmur. I’m sure many people who have truly lost their families, or been abandoned by same, have received similar treatment. And that’s great—keep it up, guys. You could save a life.
But I was abandoning my family, my parents and siblings. You don’t do that. Especially when they’re all rooting for you to succeed. Things finally came to a head tonight, and I realized finally what was wrong with me. So for now, I’ve got to say good-bye. Got to return to my real family. Got to get closer to God.
This isn’t the end—you’ll see my Sorcerous Squirrel avatar on your threads again someday. I’ll check in now and then—not to play, just to see how the old threads are doing. And I’ll be back. It might be as short as a few weeks, or as long as six months, but I’ll be back.
It has been a pleasure Role-Playing with all of you, and I hope you’ll all still be here when I return.
