Everybody wants a happy ending, right? But it doesn't always roll that way. Maybe, this time. I'm hoping if you play this back, it's in celebration. I hope servers are reunited. I hope we get it back, in somewhat like a normal version of the community has been restored, if there ever was such a thing.
Without getting into too much detail, I'm gonna go over why I stepped down. To put it simply, I just don't have the time to maintain a rank here. Getting a job, a GF, and trying my ass off to fix my grades before the school year ends has proven to be quite time consuming. While one of those things is very temporary with summer coming up, the other 2 will still take a good portion of my time during the summer. On top of that, to keep up with some expenses that I just don't have the money for currently, I'll be selling my laptop in the coming week or two. I was supposed to have already put it up for sale, I just haven't had the time to even do that yet. If I only had to take a break, I probably would've stayed around; however, not having a laptop basically sealed the deal when it came to my decision. I've always been very clear about my thoughts on activity: if you want a rank at SG, you should be at least semi-active. I think that should go for anyone, even BDs. I wouldn't let myself become a hypocrite and keep a rank here while I don't play on the servers. As much as I'm sad that it has to be this way, I'm glad to have had this experience. I learned a lot while I was here, SG will always have a special place in my heart. I wanna get this finished while I can so I'm just gonna group the homies together...

Man I really don't know how long I could've made it here if it weren't for you guys. Some of you have been there from the beginning, some of you have been there for some of the time, and some of you I only knew during the end. SG would not have been such a good place for me had you guys not been there. Countless nights I've stayed up with you guys just chillin or playing games, it's been fun. Each and every one of you has impacted my life at SG, but not only that, you've made an impact on me as a person. I definitely think that I've changed since I got here. A lot of maturing has happened because of the advice I got from you guys, even advice I got just to go up in the ranks here. It's crazy to think that when I first joined, I was a 15 year old that lied about his age because he thought people would hate him for it. While I'm only 17 now, there's a very notable difference in who I am. A lot of that is thanks to the people here. I hope that all of us can keep in touch, it's been great. Thank you all for everything.
To address my TTT folks, I definitely didn't like all of you, but I appreciate each and every one of you. TTT was not always fun, but I wouldn't have stuck around if I didn't love it. You guys aren't always the most well behaved; nevertheless, TTT was a place I could always go when I was stressed and needed some time just play a game and feel better. I hope to check in from time to time and see TTT doing well. To the staff on TTT, keep it up guys. We've put forth a lot of ideas for the server and I really hope to see you guys get it done. TTT > Everything right? Get that server past ZE, we all know it's better.
This stepping down thing I did a couple days ago, it's got me scratching my head about the survivability of all this. Then again, that's the hero gig: Part of the journey is the end. What am I even tripping for? Everything is going to work out exactly the way it's supposed to. I love you 3000 SG.
