The Goodbye post
The Goodbye post The Goodbye Post I'm not going write a goodbye post. Partly because I don't want to leave, lol, but partly because I do NOT want to become another blogger who "leaves" and then can't stay away, lol. So if I ever wrote a real goodbye post, I would have to mean it. Having said that I don't mean any criticism of a particular friend who said goodbye and is back. Or another special friend who had a spell of deleting and then popping up again. It happens, and of course I'm really glad they are both still here. We all know the difference between someone who has had enough and then can't keep away, and someone who really only says "goodbye" just to see how many people will say "oh no please don't go." And anyway, as I have said before, I would much rather get a warning, than turn up to someones blog one day and find they've just gone, deleted, without any warning. I hate that. But I have to admit it: I do have a secret desire to write that final blog-ending note. It's not that I plan to leave the site or stop blogging, because I have been here long enough to know that moods change and that tomorrow, or next week, I might have something I really want to get your feedback on. But once or twice in the last couple of months I have begun to feel like saying, "okay, that's it, time to stop bothering with this." Maybe we all feel like that from time to time. We are an emotional lot of compulsive communicators, we Local Discreet Affairs bloggers, so there is always a temptation to go out with something which makes an impact. Theredheadinheat posted how she just couldn't find any point in being here anymore, but with it she put up a picture of a little girl walking away down the path with a bulging plastic bag dragging along the ground and a doll under her arm. I loved that image, and it added a real sense of moving on to her post. I told bubbleviscious that if I left maybe I would post the lyrics to "The Call" by Regina Spektor. In many ways it would sum up how I feel about this place: It started out as a feeling Which then grew into a hope Which then turned into a quiet Thought Which then turned into a quiet word. And then that word grew louder and louder Until it was a battle cry I'll come back when you call me - No need to say goodbye. Just because everything’s changing Doesn't mean it's never been this way before All you can do is try to know who your friends are As you head off to the war. Pick a star on the dark horizon And follow the light You'll come back when it's over – No need to say goodbye. Now we're back to the beginning It's just a feeling and no one knows yet But just because they can’t feel it too Doesn't mean you have to forget. Let your memories grow stronger and stronger Till they're before your eyes You'll come back when they call you – No need to say goodbye. So if you decided you finally had to leave this place, what would you write? |

I deleted all my posts once - it took ages Now I keep my blog down to 10 posts (fits in one page) so I can delete it easily if I ever choose to do so. And I'd be one of those you don't like. I'd just delete the lot and walk off into the sunset... no fanfare, no fuss, just gone

I've always said that when I choose to go - it will all be done in a day .. remove the posts, clear the photos .. leave one last post that says .. It's been a wonderful life And that would be gone the very next day. Since I have few intentions either to leave or say "goodbye" just because I can -- it's not something on my radar. Take care - whatever your final decision. I'm happy to say you aren't saying goodbye and just going - but leaving the light on.

That picture evoked every emotion I was feeling at the time I wrote the post. This place is no longer fun, but I guess I have a few things left to do. I hope you find what you seek. Perhaps we can chat in another medium one day! You are one of my faves. You know that, right? If I have stopped by your blog, please be sure to sign my permission slip Pimp Me, Pimp My Blog, But Let Me Do The Same With You

I think I will keep hanging around, just in case something fun happens. You never know, WillHe might come back with Slezo, or Jake and the owls. I might even start some fun myself!

I'm going nowhere yet. I started with the intention of just looking at a bit of wider ranging - shall we say - porn. Then found blogs and actual people. This is much more fun (for me). There's now people who care about and I'm happy here. Right now I seem to be posting a lot. It's likely to diminish. One day - maybe - it will just stop. I'd probably leave it all up here so that it acts as a relic of times past.

That's up to you of course. I think it depends on whether you make real friends who would miss you. It seems a shame to just disappear on people who might care about you, but each to his own of course.

nice song pic, Dreemy...

I haven't given it much thought; I read and write when the feeling moves me, and don't when it doesn't. Is that overly simplistic?

Have no intention of leaving. If something happened to me, Sis would let everyone know.

Since I don't pay for anything here, and if my life got serious and I didn't need porn anymore and I got bored with the blogs I read then eventually I would just stop coming on here. Thats sort of what I am doing now but I am coming on to read YOUR blog write mine once in a while and maybe watch a bit of porn So I would just stop being here and the 1 or 2 people that read my blog which includes you would get bored waiting for me to come back and I would float off into the ether

I think you have definitely changed - you seem so much happier and more in charge of your life these days. And I think you may have a wider audience than you realise!
| ||
|
I'd say goodbye to my friends, but my blog would disappear with me. In the end it's just a conversation, and conversations are transient.
| ||
|
I knew why you had gone, but I couldn't quite get why it stopped you blogging. Nice to have you back though. That's what keeps me here now really, as I have said before, it is like the "cheers" bar.
| ||
|
I think that's probably what I would be like too. I would probably pop in now and again, but just be here less and less. I think I have begun doing that already.

I guess that's sort of what I would do really. But I hope you'd tell me where I could reach you if you decided to float off. Otherwise I'd better keep writing to make sure you keep visiting, or it would be a long time before I stopped hoping one day you would come back.

Thats very sweet of you Dreamer and I would leave a forwarding email or something for you As I hope you would as well!
