my fellow writers and readers alike
i’ve spent several months on this site and you should know how much this time has meant to me.
Sometimes you realize that things aren’t as they seem and maybe it’d be better if I weren’t here because then I wouldn’t cause problems and cause even more division on the site than there ever should’ve been. Long before I actually signed up I had been kind of prowling around the site reading discussions and I noticed when I started pitching in things started to become a bit chaotic. The things I’ve said here can’t be taken back but all I can say is that this site has affected me positively in more ways than one.
I thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart for the encouragement and for keeping me on a northward path.
sincerely
Austin Hollinger
Hey, I'm here for you you aren't making things chaotic around here, and I'm sure people appreciate you and want you around. I'm sure a bunch of people find you personally amazing my dude. I myself find you to be a wonder. And I'd like to be friends with you if that's okay.
If you're doing this for the people here they will disagree. If it is for your own benefit we shall all wish you well on your way.
Yeah. If you're leaving for you, absolutely feel free to leave.
i’ve always been the one to put others above me
I totally get that feeling. But if you think it's your fault that everything has gotten chaotic around here, it's not.
If you're leaving because you're worried we don't like you, then get back here because that is anything but true, we all love you and think you're a good friend. If you're leaving for yourself then you can go ahead, but you will be missed. Throws hugs at you
I think you're plenty good. I've really had fun watching you change and grow. I'm changing and growing with you.
The road the site seemed to start down when I joined seemed to have a lot of debris in the way
Hey man, I was partially my fault, and even I'm not leaving. If you think you've done something bad, isn't it only right that you should try to make it up? Like I did?
Then again, I personally don't think you've done anything bad. At all actually. In fact you've been nothing but a good influence on the people of the site. Telling them to stand for what they believe in! Being rather positive, and even a little bit wholesome!
if there is debris in the way the best thing to do is try and clean it up
everyone seems so divided or maybe I’m wrong
I've noticed a slight Schism in this site as well. But it isn't your fault. Just try to help people. Trying to make it right.
That's just your self doubt talking. ^^
That's just your self doubt talking. ^^
I actually agree very heavily with Dom. I personally don't think you've done anything wrong, at all. As I said.
Look Austin, if you're leaving for yourself, then I wish you well and hope you take care. But if you think for one second that you're causing any problems, trust me, you aren't. This site itself has become a bit of a mess now but it's still okay. We want you here if you want to be here
Yeah man. You done nothing wrong as far as we're concerned.
Austin, it's not your fault that notebook has gotten a little hectic. I know the timing made it seem that way, but trust me. You've only brought good. Your music is beautiful, as is your personality. Never doubt your abilities as a musician or as a person.
Like AFT and Ella said, if you're leaving for yourself, do that. Indulge in a little self-care if you need to. But if you think that you're the one at fault for this, think again. You're an amazing person, Austin. I'm so glad I met you.
Dude, you're such a great friend! I'd miss you if you left. You never did anything wrong and even if you did, leaving isn't going to help. I think we can all agree that we want you around. You need to think about you too, because I want you to be happy more than I want me to. And I'd be happy if you stayed, but if you want to go then you should. Just remember that you are an amazing person with great talent and I care about you. Even if and when you leave remember that.
I wish each and everyone of you well on this journey that I can no longer undertake
