User blog:AverageHero/Au Revior, Adios, Goodbye.

Hi, everyone. It's Avi.

Now, before I start, I'm just going to clear up that this has been a long time coming. I haven't been active lately, and I wasn't over the summer either due to my mom's surgeries and my work schedule. And the thing is, I don't think things are going to change for me here.

I've been here 2 whole years, and I haven't finished one story.

I'm not leaving because of the fighting, either. Believe me when I say that. I wasn't around for most of the fights, anyways.

I don't want to be depressing, so I'm going to start listing all the good things that came from my time here.

If I had never joined this wiki, I don't think I would have ever figured out that I love writing so much. I mean, I wrote a play, and that's an accomplishment that not many 16-year olds can say, even if my drama teacher didn't help me publish it.

And while I'm talking about it, I don't think I would have ever finished a story here. My mind doesn't allow me to. I come up with ideas, repeatedly plan plots to make it perfect, and then give up on it when I overload on stories.

And I also really want to start writing an ebook series, and if I keep focusing on fanfiction here, I don't think I'd have enough time to.

If I had never joined this wiki, I wouldn't have met all of the great people I met. I'm not going to name anyone specifically, because that would be cruel to play favorites.

I learned a lot about what other people's lives are like, and you guy really made my time here enjoyable. And I met a lot of people that have the same interests as me, which was cool. So, thank you for that.

I want to stay, I really do. But, I spend so much time planning my stories when none of them are past chapter one. And I just can't keep doing it. I have a job, I have a family, friends, schoolwork... and it seems to be becoming too much.

And I'll seriously miss you all. I'll probably go into wiki withdrawal for a few days after I leave because it became a routine to come home from work or school and see what's going on here...

I just wish I left more of a mark here. Maybe I did in all of your eyes. Atleast I got a lot of writing practice. :P

And I'll still watch ''Total Drama. ''It was what brought us all together. And it's sort of my guilty pleasure. But, I always say, ''"Well, if I'm possibly going to be a cartoonist/animator, shouldn't I always watch cartoons?" '':D

I feel bad that I don't have more to say, but I think that's a sign of how distant I've been from the wiki these past few months. Another positive way of looking at this is that I would have left eventually. I'm just leaving sooner than expected because I want to get started on something that could help my future career.

And when I do finish my book, I'll be sure to post it here, so you guys can see how I'm doing. : ) You guys are the first ones I'd contact, since most of you are writers yourselves. :P

So, I guess, in conclusion... Good luck to you all. I hope you guys don't forget me, even though I wasn't as great as Sprink or any other "original users". And I'll miss you all. :D :D :D
