saying good(e)bye.
i hate to make a lengthy post but i don’t want to disappear from this blog forever with no real explanation as to why. i’ll be putting it under the cut so it doesn’t clog anyone’s dash.
first off, i want to say that overall, it’s been an amazing 2 1/2 years here. by posting girl i met on the internet, i put myself out of my comfort zone after a period of complete isolation and i was able to fall in love with writing again by deciding that it wouldn’t be a one time thing. i want to say thank you to everyone who ever commented on my stories, left kudos, sent me asks or dms about my stories or ever helped me plan a story or just a scene i was stuck on. thank you to people who aren’t into crygi but still followed, interacted with my posts or sent me asks anyway (even though i’ve been very bad at answering them recently.)
it’s also been amazing to connect with people who like drag as much as i do. my friends outside of here will let me talk and talk about gigi but they have very little interest in drag as a whole so finding people who like drag as much as i do was a dream come true. i hope that can continue with the friends i’ll be staying in touch with as i leave this blog behind me.
i’ve known i would eventually be leaving this community for good ever since i decided to stop posting stories publicly. i had a few minor issues but told myself it was fine since i wasn’t ready to leave permanently at that time when i should have. i had been putting off when i would sit down to make this post and a recent situation has made me realize i can’t postpone this any longer.
i'm being made out to be an awful person for simply following through with a hard decision i made with the help of two mental health professionals that have my best interests in mind. i attempted to set a boundary because something that has been happening privately made me feel unsafe. the people who found this out took issue with that boundary without taking the time to reach out to me to figure out why i did it, which made me feel even less safe in this community.
because of the actions of these people, i don't feel welcome in this community anymore; even if i wanted to stay a bit longer. it’s unfortunate but the more you love and value yourself, the higher you raise the bar of who has access to you. i love and value myself way too much to willingly spend my time in proximity to people who didn’t talk to me before they made harsh judgements.
i know i did the best thing for me then and i’ll do what’s best for me now and that’s finally moving on. my friends i’ve made on here know where to find me outside of this account and i’ll miss every single one of you that i was friendly with and minded their own business up until the end very dearly. so that’s it, thanks for the memories even if the ending wasn’t so great.
lots of love, strawberry.
