hanggang sa muli so long, good-bye

aurelia, from the moment we've met I've regarded you as someone with such strong resolve. You have, and always will have, a place in my mind and my experiences with this community. I have not enough words to express my admiration and gratefulness, and not enough to speak how honored I am to have had your support all this time. Just know, in this moment, you have mine. May you stay within reach.

We've not been very close but your departure, along with everyone else who has left or is leaving is felt and with the same intensity as it would have been for an individual event. I'm saddened that your thoughts do not align with what the site has turned towards and that you no longer wish to be here.

I totally understand your position and in life we must stand for what we believe in, that is what you're doing. I hope in future, when we move towards better changes, something the entire community is happy with instead of divided that there is a room for your eventual return.

Take care, stay safe. Very sorry to see you go, your presence will be missed.

Awww! Aurelia!

I’ll be sad to see you go! I’ll miss seeing you posting in Let’s Chat and the various games in the Games Room. I’ve loved reading your roleplaying posts and seeing the awesome code you’ve written for them. I’ve wanted to request to roleplay together for a while, too, and I regret not having done so over the years.

Take care and stay safe. Thank you for the wonderful chats over the years. I do hope to see you again. I wish you luck with your feature endeavors irl, and I hope you get a chance to be creative in the future. You’re awesome

Aurelia,

We never finished our RP's and our unofficial duel but I loved talking to you on Discord. I'm wishing you the best in the future and good luck, I'll always remember you and I hope we can remain friends in Discord as well.

I will miss your wonderful energy, and easy enthusiasm, Aurelia. Wishing you nothing but the best in the times ahead.

Aurelia,

I will miss reading your poetry. I will. It was a secret little delight of mine to steal in at times and devour one at a time. I told you once and it was true — I love the way your mind works. I am sorry we didn't get to thread together beyond the Darkest Night craziness. More than any of that, however, I am sorry that you are leaving under such circumstances, but everyone has to do as they feel is right for them.

Good luck and best of wishes to you.

Aurelia,

It's been a pleasure talking to you over the last few weeks, and though we have never threaded together, I can tell from this post alone that you are an incredibly talented writer, and I hope you continue to write elsewhere. Please do keep in touch, if you wish, and I wish you the best. Take care of yourself, and I'm glad you are doing what's best for you.

Noooo! Auri!

I’ve loved the friendship we’ve had ever since we first met. You’re so sweet and kind and I absolutely love reading your writing, RPing with you, and chatting with you in general. I for sure will miss you and your amazing presence. I do hope we will meet again someday!

I wish you the best in life!

I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to figure out how to reply to this... my instinct when sad is to reach for a stupid joke but this deserved better than that, so please forgive the plainness.
I'm sorry I never got back to you properly in DMs but did appreciate how kind you were to me there, and I also respect that you’re doing what feels right for you, even though I wish things had turned out differently. Writing with you was a joy, and since you said you are within reach I am taking hanggang sa muli at its word. Take care of yourself in the meantime

Aurelia,

This is very very late, but you and your writing will be dearly missed. It was a pleasure to thread with you; you are such a talented individual and I can only hope that we can write together again, someday and somehow.

Take care.
