Don't Stop Believin' [Hold Onto That Feeling]
Today is June 1st, which not only marks the fact that we’re already half way through the year, but also that today is the day that Make A Change ends. And truthfully, I wish I had a different word in my mind for this at the moment, because it doesn’t feel like an ending, you know? It doesn’t. And I think, after 2 years and 5 months of being open, it feels more like we’re coming full circle, more than anything else.
When this group started, none of us imagined that it would make it so far. Most groups tend to die within the first few months, and if your lucky, maybe not until it’s been six or so month. I remember every month being celebrated as a giant milestone, because we were all just so excited that it was still going, and that nothing seemed forced, or like we were trying to push through a slump. And sure, we’re had a rough patches in the past, and like all other groups, we have had times where we had to fight to keep the dash moving, but to me, at least, it’s all been easier than it’s come with most groups.
Admining is not an easy task, but even on the bad days, I just want to say that being an admin for this group is one of the easiest times I’ve ever had when it comes to roleplays. And, I’ve said it before, but it’s because we’ve been incredibly lucky to have so many amazing players, both new and old. You guys made it easy to be an admin, and didn’t make it feel like such a tedious task, which I will forever be grateful for.
I just wanted to say one last thank you. Thank you for being a part of the group, thank you for joining us, for no matter how long or short it was, and thank you for becoming part of our family. Out of all the groups I’ve ever been, and will ever be a part of, this will of course be the one I’ll always look back on fondly, and I can speak for both Jenn and even Bree [though she’s said her own parts] when I say it’s the same for them.
Whatever you guys do from here, whether you continue to play out these character’s lives, and take them on many more adventures, or chose to retire them and move on to other groups, or even just take a break, we can’t wait to see where you guys in the future. And hey. We’ve all said it before, but I’m sure one day we’ll find each other in some group again. It may not be a new MAC, but it’ll still be fun if we do.
Before you say ‘Izzie, you’re getting sappy, get on with it’, I only have one last thing to mention. As noted in the ooc blog, I’ve changed the theme on the main for one last time. The character epilogues, once they’re submitted will all be posted on the main, and will be featured on the front of the page, as well as our character page, which will remain in tact.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this journey with us as much as we have. It’s been a long ride, but we really couldn’t have asked for a better way to watch this group grow and develop over the last two years.
Thank you for the memories. We love you all.
