*A bit more of a serious and emotional post since this is such a huge change in KT and she is my friend *
I just wanted to make this post because I was on vacation recently and didn't realize what had happened until a dear friend informed me that Esie is quitting indefinitely.
I was always a pretty good friend of hers. She was one of the first users to greet me on this site and actually like me for me. Her art encouraged me and so many others to attempt to do the same and she has had a considerable lasting impact on this site and always will.
I'm not good at saying goodbye to people, especially those I deeply care for, but I felt this post was necessary. Honestly, imagining what this site will be like without her is like living in a world without the sun; its impossible. I really, really hate to see users leaving, especially users I really love, but for some reason Esie leaving just hits harder. Maybe it's because I'm just not used to my close online friends leaving me, though I probably should be by now. Maybe its just because she's been here so long that the idea of her not being here is strange and painful.
Either way, this hurts. This really, truly hurts. I wish I had gotten to know you more, Esie, and I wish we had more time to talk. I hope you have an amazing life. I hope everything goes well for you, because trust me when I say that you legitimately deserve it. I hope you don't forget about me or anyone else on this site, and I hope that you stay safe. I hope you get into good schools, get good grades, have amazing friends, and go on to live the best life you possibly can, because I think that I speak for all of us here on KT when I say that we love you more than we could ever express.
