I have decided to step away

With all the recent things coming to light and just also due to the overwhelming toxicity of a lot of the userbase I have decided to step away from the community and Kovaze to focus on bettering myself, protecting my peace and just for the sake of my mental health. There are a lot of really mean people on the website that suck the fun out of it and while not everyone here is like that it's just not an environment I see myself flourishing in or wanting to really be apart of anymore. I find that when I hang around the site for too long that I start regressing into old mind frames where I was in a really dark place, and when there was no website I was doing really well on an upward trajectory. On Tengaged, I felt very excluded from the community with the exception of my ride or die, kasey2011, who is not apart of this website, and felt like an outcast for most of my 12 years on the site, it wasn't until the tail end of that experience that I started to find my footing socially and branch out, but outside of that I felt like I largely did not belong there. There were a couple days this past week where I didn't even want to get out of bed because I was so depressed and I just laid down for the entire day, got nothing done, had stress headaches and just feeling overall unwell. There is not much going on here that is constructive to a healthy lifestyle in my opinion, so I just wanted to say a formal goodbye and that I hope that the atmosphere around here changes for everyone here, and for anyone in the future that comes into the community. There is a lot of potential here, I just don't think there's much potential for me. There are a few people I truly am glad to have found that I will be keeping in contact with but I don't see myself coming back, honestly. Thank you for everything and for the good memories in spite of the bad. I think this is the beginning of a better, brighter chapter in my story. I wish nothing but the best for everyone and their lives and personal endeavors. <3 I love you guys <3 Space diamonds KBeastW RandyBandy justablip Fire RickGrimes babygirl91 Kara Katie21 snabring M2thamax ohEMgee death_metal Daleariel JessieKowalski Dream Vitor MarieEve Graf Justini Sin
