    🍋 Update Post — On Break 👋

    Didn’t ever want to be in this position but the time has come, this could mean two things for me..

    First things first, I joined this site without any ideas or plans beyond submitting stickfigures and posting animations, pretty standard but at one of the hardest points in my life, this place, it’s people was what gave me hope about myself and my life. Sharing my ideas, interests, morals with like-minded talented amazing people helped inspire me to turn around what I could.

    I won’t go into it too much but I had a lot of self-hatred, doubt and generally no respect for myself, it wasn’t until 2020 hit, lockdown put so many of us in a similar position and ultimately led to so many great things for me. I don’t mean to brag or boast but I became a pretty prominent and respected figure at least on the site during that time. After a while we needed moderation and the first mod to ever be was me, my point in all this?

    What you put in is what you can get out, as I have gone about my days here I have realised that more and more but a certain point in time was reached this year and this place became like a lost cause to me. Too many of you, you may not fully realise the extent this place and its people possess, so much can be accomplished.

    I wanted to make this place what I perceived it could be and to give back what was provided to me to others in a similar position as myself. I don’t think that this place is lost but my life isn’t getting any easier and my time is only thinning. When I spend hours on making things a certain way here for the sake of others and expanding Stick Nodes however I can it takes so much out of my time and effort only for so little to be given back. I can’t take that risk anymore, so I’m taking a break.

    When I return if I find that I have reason to return I will and hopefully with the intent to accomplish what I started.

    But, if I see too many things going well for me beyond this place, I have no reason to return again.

    For now though I leave you all with a simple goodbye.

    I will still be present when I can for the sake of the site log but beyond that, moderating the site, checking on the site, none of that is my concern anymore.

    All the best SN. 👋
