From Aaron Tveit to Jordan Fisher to Ian Harding to Sarah Hyland, the past five years have been some of the best of my life and let me just say: this isn’t the ending that I ever imagined, not in my wildest dreams. I wasn’t here last night and therefore, feel it isn’t fair to chime in one way or the other with my irrelevant two cents. All this said, I will officially be leaving the group. In all honesty, I’ve had one foot out the door for a while now as I struggled with muse issues but I wanted so desperately to power through it because this group has been so special to me for so long…I couldn’t imagine my life without it. I still can’t. But I guess it’s time. I do want to be clear about something: my leaving isn’t so much a direct result of fallout from last night but combining it with the lack of community and love here lately plus my muse issues and the mass exodus that’s happened, it’s definitely the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back.
Even if I wanted to stay here in this group that once felt like family, the magic has been broken, the curtain pulled back, and people’s true colors have been revealed. I’m not sure there’s anything that can be done to rectify it, not in my eyes anyway. So I’ll just say thank you. To anyone and everyone that I exchanged so little as a single word with, thank you. To my ship partners, my best friends, and those who’ve gone above and beyond for/with me, a little bit of an extra thank you to you. I will always look back on this group with fondness in my heart. I hope the next chapters for everyone are filled with joy, happiness, and unapologetic authenticity.
If anyone is interested in staying in contact, please IM me here for my personal as well as my indie page. I’ll stay logged into this account for the next few days.
All my love to all of you.
