Au revoir, sweethearts. (warning: long-ass leaving post!)
 

I think it's time for me to take a break from RYL - which is, hopefully, going to be permanent (that is, if I can stay away - this site is bloody addictive!). I've reached a point in my life where I'm happier than ever, and it's been like this for a few months now. I wanted to stick around for the people I care about, but I haven't been contributing much and I don't feel right here any more. I think it's time for me to move on.

This site has been a huge part of my life for the past two years - in fact, at points, it's been my *entire* life, and I don't think I should be able to say that about a website. At points, being here has reminded me of self-harm too much when I've wanted to move away from it all, and reading certain threads has perpetuated my low moods. Saying that, it has helped me a lot, and I don't think I'd be the person that I am today if I'd never joined.

I've met some of my best friends through here, and I love them all dearly. Naming people is going to take me ages, and I'm sorry if I forget anybody, but I'd like people to know that I care about them.

Nat, I love you. Thankyou for being such a good friend. Lucy, as mean as you are sometimes, you mean a lot to me and I miss talking to you more often. The gays, you're all mega-cool. Chels, Alex and Linda - I need to see you all again. I had so much fun meeting you all and you mean a lot to me. Cathy and Tanya, I love you both and I'm always here for you. Emily (~invisible~), I've seen you around a lot and I'd like you to know that I think you're a wonderful person. Rach, you were one of the first friends I made on here and you're a lovely girl.

To all the staff that I've had the pleasure of getting to know - you've been fantastic. All the supporters, every single one of you, I admire you for giving so much of your time to help other people. To the moderators - particularly Typs, Jo, Rob, CrAimee and WAimee, you're all amazing people and I'm lucky to know you. Harley and James (and Tony!), thankyou for keeping the site alive. If there's anybody I've forgotten, I'm sorry.

I'd like to keep in touch with some of you - those of you know exactly who you are. I don't want to put my MSN address here, but you can message me on MySpace if you'd like it but don't have it. I'll also be around on LiveJournal. I'll log in again for the next few days, to check for any PMs, and after that... well, I'm not sure yet. Hopefully I'll have the willpower to stay away (although, if I'm allowed, I may turn up at a couple of meets). So, I think that's it. You all deserve happiness, each and every one of you, and I hope you find it.

Take care, everybody. Much love always. xo

edit: oh, and merry christmas!

Someone just told me they cried at Kaya's leaving post. i went WHAT!!!????!!!
Flew here to read it.

Its a sad thing but also a great thing!!! No one wants to see you go but im sure that no one wants you to stay for all the wrong reasons. I think its fantastic how much you have moved on. I remember a while back reading your posts and wondering how someone so young could be in so much pain and so i adopted you. Ive always had a soft spot for a loon!! :P

Its amazing to see the change in you over the last couple of years. Such a wise little head on such young shoulders. Its quite scary really!!!

Have fun Kaya outside of RYL. Dont try to grow up too fast! Trust me you get far too old fr too quickly and look back wonderin why the hell you ever wanted to be older in the first place.

Enjoy life Kaya and take every oportunity you can. Haha i wont have anyone telling me off for my smelling pisstakes anymore. I can spoll as bidly as i luke!! W00t!!

Im still not happy bout you kissin boys and your room is a mess, but i guess i cant send you there anymore but you can still have your pocket money i guess!!!

Take care you!!! I have my spies so ill know if you are being naughty ok!

All my love

Dad xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx

Take care <3

Awww Kaya! I love you you little munchkin :]
I'll be sorry to see you go, it was so great to meet you, and whether you're on the site or not, a roadtrip to up North will always include Kayatime [with the GooGooDolls for Nat & vending machine chips ;P]
You're such a great girly & i'm so glad you've come to this point in your life where you feel ready to let this place go.
Remember we're always here either way though. I'll keep msning you. So expect to be stalked.
<3 Alex xx

P.S. Your note. Still owns the back of my purse :]

you're going to leave a hole in RYL Kaya,
I know I don't think we've actually ever really spoken but I'm going to miss seeing you around, all your support posts as well as all the random ones :)
