I joined DA roughly 9-10 years ago. For about half of this account's lifespan, I made pretty consistent use of it.
Since then, however, I've let it slip away somewhat.
I did a lot of growing on this website. Without it and the people I've met herein, I might not have honed my love of drawing. I'm happy to report, on that note, that I'm still drawing to this day.
Still, all that being the case, I think I've outgrown this site. I'll always be thankful for it, to be sure, but I don't feel that there's anything about it that's holding me to it, if that makes any sense.
About 4-5 years ago, my attempt to re-invigorate interest in the site by making a second account ended in a miserable failure. I don't think I ever even posted on there.
So, rather than keep it hanging by a thread, I'm signing off for certain this time. I can't say it's -impossible- that I won't come back here and there in the future, but right now, I'm preserving this page as more of a memento/relic than anything else.
All I've left to say is this: thanks for the memories everyone. Peace.
