Well. This is goodbye.
I have a lot to be thankful for now because of this forum and the church it lead me to. I had an amazing time here, made several friends whom I cannot wait to see in Heaven, and I had a lot of help and emotional support during a dark time in my life. To the friends I have made here, especially in Singles, I am in debt to you.
However, as Robert Frost has said, "Nothing gold can stay." This forum has definitely changed since Donald Trump became the main focus of the website. Several regulars left and I am finding that this forum is no longer edifying me in a positive way. This was not an easy decision as I have debated it for months. Right now, I'm looking towards finally going to college after putting it off for a decade. I now have friends in real life and for the first time in years, I am feeling confident in achieving a normal life. It's time to move on.
I'm not going to cry because it's over. I'm going to smile because it happened. My four and a half years on CF were so much better than all the collective time I spent on all other forums combined. It's time to start focusing on real life as God has a plan for me. CF helped me realize that. I don't know where I'll be in the next few years but this time I can say with complete confidence that God will be there with me the whole way.
I love all of you so very much and I pray to God that He blesses you all very richly. I will never forget you guys as you will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for your friendship, guidance, and support.
God bless.
