I won't make this lengthy, but it is time to announce my next break from tengaged now that I have been eliminated from RSF 50: Clash of the Champions.
I didn't do much (maybe three or four group games in total) this time around, but I can confidently say that this has been one of my favorite times on this site, despite the chaos and the trend of people saying that tengaged is going on a downward slope. My friendships, most of which formed last year, have not only sustained in spite of my previous absence, but grown over the course of the last four months, which has been a very gratifying experience.
You were all there are some point or another as I underwent some of my momentous experiences, such as:
-starting to participate in community theatre
-getting my first job
-turning 18
-beginning my romantic / dating life
and I cannot thank you all enough for that. You guys really are like the cherry on top of my life and without yall, my life would be a lot less exciting or enjoyable.
Now, the big question: when exactly am I leaving?
Seeing as my role in RSF is almost fulfilled, I have decided that I will leave this Saturday, November 3, at 11:59pm EST. After that, I will not come back to tengaged or skype until June of next year (if the site is still up at that point). However, I will try to keep in better touch this time around, so you'll not only know how I am doing, but I can see how your lives are developing as well.
Once again, I thank you all for an amazing 2018, and may 2019 be even better! <3
P.S. extra thanks to anyone who knows what the quote at the top means
A few months ago, the realization hit me. I was turning 17.
It's not like a big milestone like 16, 18, or 21 but I truly believe that I have grown so much just in the time span of one year. There were a lot of regrets I made that I would take back but from those mistakes, I learned so much more.
Joining this site was not one of those mistakes. As most of yall know, I took a break back in October 2016 from this site in order to focus on school, and that year was r o u g h. When I came back in June 2017, I didn't expect there to be a lot of open arms (and for the most part there weren't). As I continued through group games, I slowly became more and more connected to the site, and even created friends that I guarantee I will not ever forget.
When Christian_ posted a birthday blog for me (https://tengaged.com/blog/Christian_/8313665/happy-birthday-eric ), I won't lie, I cried tears of happiness. Sure, there's always the people who say "it's an online game, how can you get that invested?" To them, I say you simply haven't found as good of friends as I have.
I'm sorry if this blog is written poorly, but I had to make it to show my appreciation to everyone in that blog and everyone else who I've become friends with over the years.
Thank you for being there, and to another year of rambunctiousness!
