Well… I’m back, after a little breather.
Okay… I was hoping that my brief absence would HELP, not hurt things… I suppose, given things said and insinuated here…I was wrong. I guess I should explain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I left because:
*I needed to breathe
*I felt a little overwhelmed
*I had a million things to do for school/college preparation
*I wasn’t being fair to my family… we barely spend time together, and I felt I needed a bit of absence to hang out and watch True Blood with my mum… she deserves to know her daughter, and I had been robbing her of time together.
*I needed to get my rear in gear with Halloween-y things
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I did NOT leave because:
*of Politics
*of any in-member fighting
*of immaturity
*for attention

Personally guys… as the people who know me better than most people who know me in real life… I’m a little hurt that even such notions, or assumptions, were ever made. My email address is publicly posted; if anyone had any qualms with me, or wished to ask anything at all…. I am ALWAYS more than happy to tell you guys everything. Just ask 3Hours, who I’ve known for 4 years… I’ve never been one to contain the way I feel about anything.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lex:
Publicly, I would like to apologize to you. Yes, I did feel overwhelmed by you, and I was shocked that you could be so sweet one minute, and have such a poison tongue the next. That hurt… I thought, even if you were upset with me, that you would be more civil. We were friends… and I try to never speak to people I love in a way I will regret.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I do not regret leaving… for my own personal purposes, it helped. I connected with my mom a bit, got some things done, (have a gorgeous new purple bathroom~!), et cetera. I DO regret perhaps not explaining more… but it was my assumption that it wasn’t necessary, and that I would be granted the time openly. I am deeply hurt by the comments made in the very short time I was gone.
If anyone has anything to ask, comments to make, et cetera… feel free to email, PM, or whatever you will. I love you people… and I’m sorry I caused any unnecessary turmoil.

I'll say it, with all the political drama in the days leading up to your going I did think it was caused by it...

Glad to see you back and that you were able to have a good time and do some things that you wanted/had to do.

I really don't know why you left, but since it was when I didn't had internet (now I know my modem burned down and write these words from my mom's) I just assumed and followed of what the rest told me.

^Perhaps ED, but it was in a very small way then directly associated with this board.

Prior to the days I left, I had to defend myself politically in three different classes (nearly going to blows with one girl in particular), and by the time things started over here... it was just getting to be too much of me alone in a corner with a stick defending my position than I cared to do here, in my safe place. Simply put.... I just needed to breathe. Period.

(And thank you ED).

You were missed my dear.
Glad that you are back.

Theres no need to explain yourself, getting off the computer and doing things outside the internet is healthy.

^^ yeah. I should try it sometime.
I have a drawing that I have to finish. And a book I should finish too hahah

Akasha I do not think you have to explain yourself to anyone...its your own business what you do in your life , on or not on the internet.

Fantastic to see ya back A.M.!!

Missed ya!!!!

Akasha!!!

Glad to see you here (VERY GLAD). I was getting kinda worried, but at least I heard from you eariler.

It's understandable that we all need a break from such intense situations (or the "drama"), it's not worth letting the anxiety pile up and blow up in your face there.

There's no apologies needed for you leaving, you did what you felt was right.......(but next time, let me know AHEAD of time!! ).

I've known you Akasha for almost 2 yrs (roughly) from GB and here in DR. I have never thought or felt that you had step over the line at all. You have shown me a tremendous amount of respect and that means alot to me.


I hope you gain more of the balance in your life with your mother. I try to do my best with my daughter as well with our bond too.


You got my e-mail addy too, Akasha. Love to hear from you anytime.

Ohhh geez... here come the water works! *sniff sniff*

Thank you DG... That, and you, mean a hell~a lot to me.

*crosses her , hopes to *

No more dramatics from me, promise~!
