Hello friends! It's been a long run, and A long time coming, but I'm gonna go ahead and announce my leave here. There is a couple of things I want to note before I get into this:

1.) None of my characters stones are permitted to be found and revived in any way, yes, that includes ones that are not attached to my main account!

2.) I will not be officially leaving the site until Esther revives the stone for snail.

3.) Absolutely none of my characters are up for adoption, that includes previous adopted characters and ones I had up for adoption before (including babies not born yet that were up at one point.)

4.) I will be leaving the discord server before I leave the site.

5.) My profiles are going to be stripped through when it is time for me to leave so I can remove relevant information from certain characters.

6.) All of my characters are being moved offsite.

7.) Please do not read anything below if you're sensitive to:
Eviction, drugs, firearms, threats, and abuse

There have been a few things that have drove me to almost leave multiple times in the discord, so I had it muted most of the time and didn't really interact all that much. Yes, that was on purpose, and no, my lack of talking does not mean I dislike anyone.

The community is not for me, and I know there's always those few people on every site that make you want to leave - it hasn't happened much on origin, but I do have problems with some stuff that has happened in the past that I will not address here because it's basically been taken care of at this point anyway.

I'm aware that I didn't have all the time in the world to post, but some of the activity required things on here made it more noticeable, especially when people are getting upset with me for things I can not control. To add to that, here's why I've been so spotty, in detail, so there isn't any confusion:

        I got evicted from my home a little over a year ago at this point, when my activity decline started. My parent and her boyfriend left me there alone to deal with the landlord and police, which I have never done before, as a minor. There were drugs in the home, and the two adults were apparently making it in their bathroom - the drug I will not specify because it isn't any of your business. There were stolen firearms as well. If they hadn't marked it all as lost property, they most likely would have pit it on me because I was almost an adult at the time, and the only basically functioning human in the house.

Our animals got taken because I sure as hell had nowhere to bring them, but I did end up grabbing my sister's cat instead of mine because she is attached to hers as much as I was mine, and as the older sibling it's my job to watch out for them. I was able to get in contact with my aunt, who took us in from there. I did not see my mother or her boyfriend for a week after that. When I did get in contact with them, they were threatening me and calling me disrespectful because I was angry about this - I got called worthless and refused to go back with them as they took both of my siblings where they were staying at the time.

From there, I worked with my sister to pinpoint where they were staying so the police could go arrest them because a warrant was put out. They did, I got my siblings back for a week, and then case workers gave them to their grandparents.

Ever since then it's been constant fighting with case workers, court dates, case meetings, taking care of myself and my mental health, making sure I have time to visit my siblings, making sure my mother's abusive boyfriend who has threatened our lives before didn't come down and act on said threats. Along with so much other shit I can't talk about because it's actually dangerous and did involve people's lives (no one ended up hurt, thankfully, but it could have happened).

I am mostly away from the case worker side of things now, aged out on my birthday, but still have to meet with someone. I do have a therapist as well.

I have a job, a full time one at the age of 18. I work over 30 hours a week. It is hard to find time to do ANYTHING besides make sure I'm okay and in a good enough situation to keep afloat. Covid did not help with this.

So yeah, that's why I'm leaving. This is a hobby for me, and I can't handle the activity requirements of the site to the point it becomes a chore sometimes with certain things, and I don't like the kind of talk that comes from people when it's like that.

It was fun while it lasted, thanks dudes. I also will not be looking at this thread after it's been posted. I get off work at 10pm, so stripping of profiles besides Esther will begin then. Except for on Yew who is not mine, I will be asking Blackbird personally what he wants me to do there.

Hey, I know you said you aren't going to check back on this thread but on the offchance you do, I just wanted to wish you the best of luck. IRL should always come first and it sounds like you've been through a hell of a lot. I hope it works out for the best--and congrats again on finding work, it's rough out there right now.

Let me know if you need any help w/ anything on site; other than that, you've got my deepest condolences for all you've had to go through, and I hope everything continues to improve!
