Deeply considering leaving the community + Updates n' stuff

General
❄This is a journal header. You put useful information here, and yeah.❄
❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄❄ April was by far the busiest month ever. haha
I'm sure this journal title puzzles or worries you, but I'll get to that in a sec.
I've been a bad friend and bf lately because I've not been online... like at all. xD
I feel as if I've neglected those I love, and DON'T WORRY. I'll be back, but I'm just in a really awkward position atm, so bear with me please!
Okay, so the title is probably why you clicked this journal, so I shall explain that.
Now before yall go like "oh psh, he's a furry, he says he's gonna leave but he won't, cause this is FA, no one leaves."
And my response to that is, I don't pull that shit.
I take breaks, but hiatus =/= outright leaving.
People can't get that wrapped around their heads.
I'm leaving because... well, I just don't have the time and money anymore to buy things for myself.
I don't have the drive or passion to buy all of that art.
I'm never gonna sell my characters, I love them.
But, all and all.. I'm just tired with this community as a whole.
FurAffinity every day, when I'm checking journals, has been nothing but "Art theft", "depression", "callout posts", "trump did this", "this person died", "that person is bad", "my gf is a cheater", etc etc etc.
For the past few days, for the past TWO years, this site has been a very negative environment as a whole.
It's okay to be sad and depressed, but when everyone is doing it, then how are you gonna ever get better?
I'm sick of all of these entitled people who think they own things like style or poses, or fucking tiger stripes.
I'm sick of all the hate this community gives, when they don't have enough intel to just assume.
EVEN FUCKONG HOLIDAYS- which are supposed to be happy- are nothing but complaining and bitching.
It's not fun anymore.
I'm sick of this high school drama.
Aren't yall like, 25????
I don't give two shits if my art is posted elsewhere.
Sure, I paid for it, but this is the fucking internet.
Heavily watermark your shit before posting it on a site where everyone can download from.
If they still do it, then you can complain.
Otherwise, it's gonna happen nevertheless, because It. IS. The. Internet.
But yeah, negativity aside, I love the friends I have made here and cherish them.
has been here for me the longest, and she is irreplaceable.
is a sweetheart who I've gotten to know more and more as time goes on.
is the most amazing gf ever, who I want to stay with forever and ever.
And many more friends I've made!
This community as a whole though really drains me.
So, I'm considering leaving.
I won't be dramatic and disable my account for no reason, I'll just close this tab and walk away.
I'm not looking to get into discussions about art thief or shit like that, I honestly could care less at this point, I'm sorry.
But yeah, long journal is long!
Other than that, I'm just being super busy still haha.
I miss yall!
Who knows, maybe I'm just going through a funk
Anyways, I hope the best for you in the future. c:
Sometimes we all get hit with a wave of negativity and it seems impossible to find a way out.
It does get annoying seeing nothing but people feeling so down, then again we're only human -- we all make mistakes sometimes lol
I'm planning on spending the weekend clearing out the negativity/dead accounts myself.
I try not to bring any negativity to my page despite the rough time I'm going through, because honestly? It's not anyone else's business but my own.
So usually I just try to tell people about things that may prevent me from speaking/working in a timely manner.
I'd be really sad to see you go but you also have me in plenty of other places to talk to, and ofc I'll keep you updated on everything too if I have to change my preferred forms of contact.
But for now I think that would be a good course of action. There will always be negativity in this world but you should take the time to just surround yourself with people who love and support you.
I've felt like I've neglected you guys, and it sucks!
I still wuv my bun <3
And it's okay, April was...really really hard for a lot of us.
I think some life changes are in order for myself as well!
But it will be okay, just take some time for yourself.
That one is my favorite haha
Actually I need to get working on Alexa's ref....I have ideas~
You're right though, sometimes it's just negativity overkill! Time to weed out the drama queens?
In any case, I'd be very sad indeed to see you go so I hope the feeling passes!
*hugs*
But I totally know how you feel about FA and understand 100%
I've considered leaving a few times myself.
Hopefully I can gather up contacts for my few friends that I have on here (you and like two other people) before everyone goes poof. X3
But I get your point of view, sorry to possibly see you go even if we don't chat :(
