I've felt for some time now that I don't really belong in - or to - this community. Yes, my unceasing affection for a certain sky-blue pegasus lady has tied me permanently to MLP:FIM, and I will likely continue to watch and enjoy the series. But I'm not a Brony; that's a label I discarded well before today.

It may sound beside the point, but being here has caused me a good deal more anxiety, overall, than the forums, themselves, were ever worth. Were it not for the friends that I made, I would have simply walked away months ago. I created some post count goal on a whim to give myself an excuse to keep posting, and I committed to it somewhat obsessively.

But I see no point to it anymore.

Outside of PMs, I won't be posting at MLPF anymore. Won't be interacting with the forum community anymore. I do believe some will be glad of this, and more, still, won't feel strongly about it one way or the other. This is just as well. I considered posting exclusively in the RDFC, but the RDFC is not Rainbow. And, for all I know, the RDFC may be better off in my absence. I hope that it will be; I've nothing to offer but well wishes to that fan club and its members.

I'll be around, but, at the same time, it's as though I won't be. What matters most to me remains intact, and I'll be going quiet without doing any real harm.

Have some fun, people. And ponies, too; should you know any.
