User blog:Ckohrs0221/Smile Because It Happened

Hello wonderful Darpians,

Do not cry because it's over; smile because it happened. Dr. Seuss.

As many of you know, I've recently taken a new job, where cell phones are 100% off limits. Coupled with the fact that my real life relationships, and other hobbies (theatre) have begun to become more important, I think my time here on DARP has fully waned, and it's time to move on.

I'm happy that I'm leaving now; I'm not leaving due to ill will, or bitter feelings. I'm moving on because my life has simply become too busy for DARP to truly fit anymore. And it's for all good reasons, so I'm not sad about it either-- my life is beginning a new chapter, but that also means my chapter here is coming to a close.

I have loved every minute of my time here. I've become a better writer, and the life skills I've honed here are skills I've literally bragged about in job interviews (seriously, you can make anything work!). I will miss you all immensely, and I'm sure I'll pop in from time to time to catch up on life. But my time here as an RPer is over.

Many of my character's storylines have been concluded in my sandbox wiki (here) but I'll go into a little more detail about my current characters, in case people are curious.

Stories End
I didn't include Emmett or Priya because they were expansion characters. I didn't include Allegra, because I figured she's new enough that if someone wanted to adopt her, they were welcome to do so.

Thanks for everything, DARP!
