OOC.
Reading Tanith-shaped's post and just thinking about where my heart has been lately, I think it's finally time to make this post. School starts on Tuesday, and I said that I'd have my decision by then.
It's hard for me to say this. I've dedicated almost three years to this role. Before I started playing Sasha, I didn't even like her. I played her because the idea of this seemed interesting, and well, because Michelle Kwan was taken already. ;) In the long time that I've played her, I've grown to love her in all the good, bad and indifferent she did within her life AND her skating.
In a couple of months, she'll be starting her new season, and I think it'll be a big one for her. This might finally be her year, I feel it in my bones. It's not fair to not invest the time that she deserves. This is my senior year of high school, and I want to enjoy it. In the past few months, it's become more of a chore to play her than anything else, and I always said I'd stop when it stopped being fun.
You guys have been absolutely amazing, and I've loved playing with every single one of you. I've met some of my best friends on here, you guys have been nothing short but incredible and I'm thankful for all of you. I hope that you'll all be as welcoming to the new Sasha, whenever one decides to come around, as you've been to me. I'm not going to delete this journal, as it has three years of amazing memories. I've grown so much as a writer and as a person because of this, and I hope you guys liked having me around.
I'll see you all, this won't be the last time. Be safe.
