So it's become clear to me that I2 isn't the place for me any longer and I need to move on with my life.
I don't really know how to say this well. It's been my home on the internet for three years. Getting my butt out of here has been more like breaking an addiction than just walking away.
It's what the members make it, and I'm in a dwindling minority. My attempts to jolt it out of stability and consistency, and into something more dynamic and energy-building, have started to mainly do harm.
I'll be around sometimes to keep in touch with people, but I've cut off any investment I had in the community as a whole.
I've been building a small community of an entirely different type on LiveJournal:
Yumeza. If anyone wants to contact me when I'm not around here, that's where I'll be.
