Always the person who cares the most 🫠
I have no idea what else to call this post, but essentially: I wrote on a forum on-and-off for nearly a decade, and today I've finally decided to leave this particular group of writers and that chapter behind and it hurts and I'm not sure where else to speak on this.
A huge part of me feels nasty for leaving silently, but in a lot of ways it feels like I'm saying goodbye to a graveyard that I refused to admit only housed the dead: a dead discord, a dead site, writers who either are no longer interested in forum roleplaying as a hobby or are just too afraid to abandon a space of the internet they've known for years. And those who were active have long since jumped ship for a new site, and I think this is my confusion:
Has anyone ever felt your favourite partner had moved on to something else, and now you're left to sit on a shelf? I would pay to meet someone and write with them successfully for years, or join a new forum that's active - but I highkey feel like this is unrealistic for 2026 roleplay or I'm just not fit for yet another social activity 🥲
