My Very Last Blog Post - Goodbye · 9:40pm Jun 7th, 2021
As of now, I think the time has come to finally abandon my Fimfiction page. I don't particularly want any involvement in the MLP community any longer and I hold no interest in continuing to be an active member. While my page remains open to everyone, I've logged out permanently and don't think I'll return to it or use it again. No more blogs, no more stories, no related content - it's over.
By all means, if it saddens you that I'll no longer be doing content this way or if you disagree with my choices, please, save the trouble of confronting me over it and unsubscribe/unfollow me. I literally do not care. This is my choice to make and I feel it needs to be done. I'm in desperate need of finding another activity to explore that doesn't revolve around the same emptiness MLP and my presence as a Fimfiction author brought me. I don't need it nor want it, so it is what it is.
Some of you have been outstanding friends to me and others likely think I'm a pissy, moody, miserable person who brings down the energy 24/7 and has no charisma whatsoever, at least not enough to be a permanent fixture in my life. You don't know a single thing about me if that's the case. You don't know how I got here or what goes on in my head, and it shows. That's the vibe I get. You don't like me because I'm me. That would hurt, if I still had a nerve left that wasn't burned by previous roasts and a heart that wasn't already broken from the struggle that comes with heartache. That being said, I couldn't care any less for how your personal opinion stands on me. It doesn't matter.
I hardly feel like anybody's friend. Sometimes, I think that is for the best. My problem is that I can love things that don't love me back. 💔
I hardly feel included, important, valued or even generally enjoyed anymore. There's nothing more for me to say about anything other than that. I've not made my peace, but I'm not about to start in a place I'm going to be unheard or noticed. All I have to say to those whom have enjoyed my work, favourited, upvoted and added me to your libraries is thank you. 💜
Will I ever return? No, I won't. I've made my stance on this very clear multiple times via blogs. Do some scouring through my posts if you care enough to learn my backstory and reasons. I'll be searching for something new in the meantime. I just can't do this any longer. I need to leave, this time for good.

Peace, love, empathy,

Fare thee well, Ribe. Your star burned brightly, and your contributions to the community shall never be forgotten.
Hey mate.
Thanks for saying goodbye.
Your stories will be read and remembered, a couple of yours have a place in the top shelf of my bookshelf.
I can see where you are coming from.
You say you need to move away from the hollowness that mlp has now brought? You need to find something else? That’s fair enough. Often when I think of mlp, my mind goes to better times back in 2012. It’s sometimes painful, holding on to something that brought you joy some time ago.
You will be missed, of course. You and your blogs of British life. I hope life gets better for you. Keep my post of “being 20” and “turning 30” in mind. It’s advice I’d give a younger version of myself.
I know you’re adamant about leaving. But if you need to send a PM to someone, I’ll still be hanging around here. Even if it’s just to say that you’ve made more Fallout bottle caps.
Now there is something else of interest that won’t pass in a flash. And there is a bit of coinage involved too.
Crikey, I never left a review on your page, bugger. I’ll need to do that.
Many people wish you well, even if few actually say so. That’s how it is. But I’ll take the effort to say a proper goodbye.
May you get back on that metaphorical horse.
Cheers mate.
Gyro.
Whatever you do, I wish you luck
