A few months have gone by, and I feel like I’m walking into a new, beautiful and inviting community. A heavy, guilty heart is just scratching the surface of how I felt when I left, but thank you for allowing me to. Even if it was, in hindsight, very abrupt and made everyone worry. I definitely didn’t put that in perspective. I had to take charge of where my life was heading, which I can assure you is in a way better place now than it was.
If you’re curious, I’m working as a manager at GameStop full-time, manage my store’s social media, and I’m planning to move out to live with my boyfriend in Michigan in 2020. Lots of exciting things came my way once I started taking initiative in my own story.
If you’re wanting to send me a message, I’m sorry to say I turned them off for the time being. One day I’ll feel comfortable turning them back on, but I’ll leave comments public on my posts and my wall.
I was fully expecting people to be upset at me, but not gonna lie, I full on CRIED when I read through them. Your kindness stuck with me through my worst times, and I never ever should have doubted that, and I never will again.
Thank you for saying all those wonderful things, but you deserved a leader who could be there for you more. A 22-now-23 year old woman who had no idea what to do with her life was not the right fit. Maybe I was before, but I definitely wasn’t near the end.
You’re in amazing hands now, please don’t take that for granted!
I love you all, forever. It was the greatest honor.

I’m glad you’re doing better, Onee! I you being a leader here when I first ed, but I wasn’t as active back then. Now that I’ve found my place, I love it here, and it couldn’t have happened with out you. I’ve never really gotten to know you, but I hope everything is going alright!
Onee im just so glad you're doing alright! I did get worried when I saw you weren't a leader since you've always been an inspiration and a help to me, to all of the splatoon amino community, and you still are!! :heart: :heart: :heart:
Happy that your doing so well onee, we need to catch up when we have the time :)
I can’t explain how happy I feel to see you be able to come back and clear things up on good - while I’m very thankful for where the team has managed to get now, my mind always thought back to the people who inspired me and helped me grow.
I know you’ve been doing sO much better from the things I’ve seen on Twitter, and I was really so excited for you and your relationship, your job, and the amazing places you’ve seen since then- I was so happy to know that life showed you the light you always deserved, but I’m happier now knowing that you know the community always ed you even when you had to go. It definitely gives me some closure, and I hope it’s given you a little more peace of mind too. ;; u;
There’s a lot I’d like to tell you!!! But that might be best saved for another time. For now I guess I’d just like to say, thank you for EVERYTHING Onee- despite how you felt towards the end of your moderation career here, I just want you to know that you were a stellar Leader,, a stellar example to the community, and just an amazing member and person overall. I hope to live up to the standard you and Ren set for leadership. Don’t ever doubt that you’ve made such a positive impact here, the team appreciates it so much and I know the community does too.
So much love to you Onee!!!! I hope we can continue to keep in touch, you will forever be an inspiration to me! Keep on sparkling ; U; :sparkles: :two_hearts:
Nacho I always loved you. I was really scared of being a disappointment and I let that get the better of me. I’m sorry for not reading your messages before because I was really unsure what would come of them. But my discord and my twitter dms are always open to you now. Thank you for being patient with me ;v; :two_hearts:
I'm very glad to see you're doing well Onee. I never got the chance to properly meet you when I was promoted as a Curator, and I can totally understand that you're too busy to mingle with people right now :joy: but it's been amazing working as staff here, and I'll continue to do my best to keep up this Amino that you helped lead for so long. You were always an inspiration for me. I sincerely hope you can stay out there living an incredible life, and don't forget that if you ever want to pay a visit here on this Amino, you'll always be welcomed with kind hearts.
I still the day you told me I was chosen to be part of the Welcoming Committee. That day was very special to me- it helped me find my place on this Amino, and I became so engaged in the Community that I just couldn't help but apply for the Curator position too. It really changed my life, so thank you so much for this opportunity! We all love you Onee :sob: :revolving_hearts: :revolving_hearts: :revolving_hearts:
