You oughtta know.
Attention.
Dear Gaia,

I joined here February 25, 2004, one week after your first anniversary.
I was thirteen years old, in seventh grade.
I joined under the username A Faery Named Aikanaro.
Half a year into our relationship, I coined the username Perphekt, which I now use everywhere on the Internet, and in some places off the Internet.
You impacted my life, with how much time I spent with you, and with all of the people I've met because of you.
I loved you, Gaia.

I joined in the days of the Gaia Personals.
In the days of anti-noobishness.
In the days of links and anime fandom and whanot.
In the days of Barton and Gambino.
In fact, I remember the day Durem first showed up on the map.

It was hard for all of us then, because we worked hard for our pixels.
I bumped and spammed in the Chatterbox like no other just to buy an outfit.

Of course, I matured and moved into the General Discussion.
I even spent some time in a roleplaying guild.
I became obsessed with out-of-school literacy and relationships.

Gaia, you are not the same site now as you were four years ago.
And that's fine.
You've grown, and you have needed to become more accomodating.
But you're so supportive to new and illiterate users.
Starter sets?
Towns?
Acceptable chatspeak?
Absolutely not.
You're a very self-promoting being, Gaia.
Again, that's fine.
But you are no longer the one for me.
Other things are grabbing my attention.
I do need to focus my attention on my schoolwork, as well as my art.
And my real-world relationships.

That's why I'm leaving you.
I don't feel I'll be missed, and I don't feel I will miss.

Of course, nearly four years of hard-collected pixelated items can't just go to waste.
That is why I am setting up a thread in the Exchange forum to Give Away all of my items.
Yeah.
Give Away, for free.
Including KiKi and CoCo.
As well as seventy-two thousand in gold.
Darling, please visit me here:
Click.

Gaia, my love.
It's time for me to move on.
I will visit, however infrequently.

I would suggest you see other people, but I know you already have.
You don't need me.

And I no longer need you.

This is.

Goodbye.

With all of my leftover middle school love,
Your dearest,
Perphekt.

    Wow, you are not just a good artist, you are a good writer. I hope you do well, wherever you are going.

    I think I understand why, you are moving on... but why soo soon? I plan to continue to be a gaian for life. ^^ It affected my life so much. I remember the first gaiaversery. =P... I messed up and didn't really care about my avatar back then.

    >< big mistake on my part... everything has inflated.

    Well, it is your call, but I hope you move on to a better place, I mean, there are plenty of sites that are just as fun as gaia. The internet knows no bounds. Have fun, and further your art to the extreme. I hope you become a very successful individual.

    The life of an artist is very demanding. So stay strong, determined, and I wish you the best of luck. Since you have had an account since 2004, we should've met sooner. ^^

    ~Best of Luck,

    I feel the same way, but It's no reason to quit. Just leave for a while 3nodding
    But if this is your decision...goodluck in the real world.
