I think the time has come to put this account to rest.

I have met some really kind and wonderful people here... and you all know who you are. I just don't feel this place is right for me and I don't deal well with a lot of what I see and read.
It's not really helping me in ways I'd really like it to, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate all the positives and people who make this site a better place.

I was just getting ready to send you a gift to tell you how much I enjoy your presence here. I truly do and I think we'd be losing one of our best members with your leave. However, I understand your conflictions and they are very much justified. I feel a lot of what you feel and hostility is rampant. I know Indy has faced some of the ugliest behavior here as of late. As much as I like helping people, I'm not the biggest fan of humans and I don't think I'll ever understand them. I know I'm far from perfect and can easily let me sensitivities get the best of me, but character attacks aren't necessary. On the same note, I can own the fact it's brought out some things in myself that I don't like. The place also seems to be losing it's appeal for substantial posts.

I can't deny, either, that the thought hasn't crossed my mind over the past month or so. For the most part, I've used the site more frequently due to health issues and bedrest over the past few years and things are finally looking up so i question staying. But it is called the Hotel Cali for a reason and I have several good and true friends I'd hate to abandon..😉

Whatever your decision, just know you're appreciated beyond words ! 🌷

@MoonlightLullaby Thank you so much. To me, understanding, kindness and care are among the best gifts you can give to another.
I use this site most when I can't be doing other things... so maybe out of boredom? lol
Yet, I find there are other things I could be doing.
I also find I'd rather have quality conversations with people... email, text, phone call, etc... vs. being on a site where it's the usual chit chat and not much really said or learned...for the most part.
Fun thought for today...

I relate to everything you've mentioned and hope you stay, but only you know when you've had enough and it's no longer beneficial or too toxic to do so. I wish you well in whatever you decide. I think others support me in saying you're one of most beautiful souls.💕💐 In more specific orders, we request several clones before the original is allowed to flee.😏 Love the meme 🤭@SW-User

@MoonlightLullaby I take a look at this particular post... and it's sort of like a text or email. I stick right to this, to replying to comments and I don't look anywhere else to post anything... no comments and whatever. So, yeah...pretty much "over" the site and what it's really intended for. (not sure exactly what that is! lol )
I do appreciate the kind words and hope all is well in your world.
NO clones, please! lol
I'm glad you appreciate the meme. I'm never sure if people will "get" my sense of humor! 🙃❤️
