An Evolution
This seems as good a time as any to make this official. But I've always been one for the dramatic, so let's tell a story first.
This story starts with a girl named Em. Em was a pretty happy kid, until all her friends went away. Left alone in this world without friends, Em started to make friends online. Em made some pretty bad choices, and ended up getting pretty hurt, in a lot of ways. But Em was strong, stronger than she thought, and she did live to fight another day.
Only she was different. She was sadder, darker, more lost and even more isolated than she'd ever been before. She started calling herself Emmy, and moved on, to try to find more people to love her. She took part of her hurt and turned it into something wonderful. Emmy began to grow up, living and writing and reading and talking in a world where tolerance and strength were encouraged. It was a good place to be, until it started to fall apart. Then Emmy started to feel lost.
The next step in the evolution isn't one that was planned. But once Emmy's online world started to crumble, she turned to the only place she had left. Her real life. and to her surprise, she discovered something. She discovered that she had some really good friends, along with some really bad ones. She discovered that she'd fallen in love without knowing it, that it'd never be returned, and that she could learn to live with that. She discovered, between band and theater and art and friends, that she had some things really worth holding on to. She was changing again. Emmy was gone, and Emily had taken her place.
This is an official Hiatus. I may post again. but if I do, it'll be about real life. I'm done with bandom. The young veins hiatus was basically a sign that it was time for me to tap out on this front. I'll still be around the internet, i have no doubt, but not really in the same capacity. I'd rather devote my time to things i can share with the people I see every day, stuff i like too and can talk about. So... this is ta ta for now, livejournal.
My beloved flist, you've given me so much. I love you all, and wish you well. I'll still be on twitter, though less, probably, cause i'm so busy, and still on tumblr, though the same applies. If anyone needs to get in touch with me, minus_four and afterxbirth both have my email. I'll also probably leave notifications on, so drop me a comment.
lots of love,
Emily
