Hey lot.
I’ve been mentally writing this for a while now, but it’s been hard. For a long time, I have not been feeling like myself. It’s only the last few weeks I’ve realized what’s actually wrong and what I need to do to get better- and the last few months that I’ve become happier and accepting of my choice. Before that, I’ve realized I am tired. I enjoyed writing lore, making events, doing tech things, managing in general. But I have run my course and I need to start being more selfish. I am stepping down from ownership. I am staying on as Hardware/Software Staff because I am one of the few active that can run this place and we haven’t found a replacement yet. I do plan to step down, eventually. I stayed as Owner as long as I had the desire for it- to get the server to a place I could be proud of. And I am. I know I did well.
From day one of ownership, I’ve been through a lot of un-helpful critique, being degraded for my actions, and overall stressed with managing. I was able to get through them all at first- I was motivated to get things rolling. And now- I am happy to hear encouraging words that folks are happy returning, or roleplaying, or showing off what they’ve created- overall just being here. I would like people to extend their warm welcomes to the server to Squidzoid, the new Owner. Please show him the same respect you all do for me now. I am confident that he knows what he’ll be doing, will have a good team behind him, and that he has the best of intentions for HollowWorld.
That’s it- That’s all I need to say.
Let’s end it with a full circle from my first post as big o.
“..Keep Moving Forward..”
p.s - I’d prefer no one send me sappy comments on discord or this post as it was hard enough to come to this decision and I’ve seen plenty to feel loved. Instead- please post cat gifs below as a token. Thank you.
(but not really, because I'm still here)
