Leaving: some final thoughts I'd like to share

I have not been very active around here in a while. The reason is I feel there is no much sense of community here anymore, people are in other platforms now, right? So, I've been thinking about the possibility of leaving the community.

I've been here for 10 years if I'm not mistaken and I guess this is not the place for me anymore. As someone pointed out some time ago, things have changed around here quite a bit and what made me stay active in this platform has dissapeared. Being completely honest, I think I have an emotional attachment to this platform. I have shared so many things here throughout the years and it has truly made me explore my creative outline. The idea of leaving this page is sad for me because I have expressed so many feelings and vulnerable moments through my content that I do not want to erase.

For me, all I've done here reflected me at the moment in time. I've grown and changed, but it is still me after all. So, what is next for me?

I don't feel the need to erase/deactivate my profile, but I won't be here anymore and I didn't want to leave without saying goodbye to those who still appreciate my profile.

If you want to share recommendations about other places/platforms that I can go to, let me now. Maybe I am not familiar with certain communities online!

Thank you to everyone who has ever contributed to what was a great community for me for so many years. 

A huge virtual hug to all of you, 

Ana R.
