    Goodbye.

    By Derpaholic,

    It's time for me to go.
    I no longer feel at home, or welcome on these forums. In fact, to be perfectly honest, I feel quite hated.
    I have my reasons, but I'm not going to elaborate any further, because I do not want to give certain people the satisfaction of an answer. I will say, though, that there is certain amount of elitism in the air here. I'm leaving you to figure out what that means.
    I do realize that my time here was very short (just over three months), but in that short time, I made many new interesting friends and acquaintances, three of which I'd like to thank right now.
     
    @ghostfacekiller39 and
    You both know that I think you're the shit. You have a sick taste in music, and I think I pretty much clicked with both of you on nearly every single level.
    You're real honest and legit dudes, and I'm hoping you'll stay that way.
    Keep the big ol' rock rolling. You have good things coming your way, both of you.
     
    @Scootalove
    You're an opinionated, well-articulated, and straightforward person who doesn't bullshit anyone.
    We see eye-to-eye on many things, and I'm fairly certain I got about 70% of all my brohooves from you.
    Keep doing what you do. I like it.
     
    I'm deeply sorry for any requests and promises that never got fulfilled, but I just can't stay anymore.
    I'd also like to add that I am aware that there are members on these forums who don't take kindly to people announcing their leave, but what the fuck was I supposed to do? Just leave people hanging without telling them a thing?
    You're free to do just that if you want, but I'm not that kind of a person.
     
    That just about does it, I think.
     
    I'm leaving a contact info dump here, just in case someone wishes to keep in touch with me.
    With that said, I will now be on my way.
    Take care, good people.
     
    Peace, love, and empathy
    -Gabriel.

    Happy independence day to all my fellow Finns everywhere.
    Don't you ever dare to forget that, no matter what anyone says, you live in a truly great country, and even though we have gone through some tough and dark times in the past, we've still always pulled through, and prevailed.
    We Finns know what it feels like to fight against a very real possibility of losing your freedom and independence on your own soil, and that is something what most other countries will never truly understand, or have to go through.
    Your grandfathers, and grandfathers' fathers sacrificed untold amounts to secure our liberty, and I ask that respect all those sacrifices, and never let them be forgotten. They weren't in vain.
     


     
    Facts about this piece:
     
    Finlandia (Opus number 26) is a symphonic poem by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.
    The first version was written in 1899, and it was revised in 1900.
    At the time, Finland was still known as The Grand Duchy of Finland, an autonomous part Russia, and the piece was composed for the Press Celebrations of 1899, a covert protest against increasing censorship from the Russian Empire, as the last of seven musical pieces, each performed as an accompaniment to a tableau depicting episodes from Finnish history. The premiere was on 2 July, 1900, in the capital city of Helsinki, with the Helsinki Philharmonic Society conducted by Robert Kajanus. A typical performance takes anywhere from 7½ to 9 minutes.
     
    A recurrent joke within Finland at this time was the renaming of Finlandia at various musical concerts, so as to avoid Russian censorship. Titles under which the piece masqueraded were numerous, a famously flippant example being "Happy Feelings at the awakening of Finnish Spring".
    Most of the piece is taken up by rousing and turbulent music, evoking the national struggle of the Finnish people, but towards the end, a calm comes over the orchestra, and the serenely melodic Finlandia Hymn is heard. Often incorrectly cited as a traditional folk melody, the Hymn section is of Sibelius' own creation.
     
    Although initially composed for orchestra, in 1900 Sibelius arranged the entire work for solo piano.
     
    On December 6th, 1917, Finland finally declared itself independent from the Russian Empire.

    I'm tired of seeing all these status updates in my profile feed.
    If you're actually interested in chatting with me and getting to know me, please, by all means, add me to your friends list, but if all you're ever going to do is post SA's, do me a favor and don't send me a friend request, because I don't want to see this crap anymore.
