Officially Retiring

NoNamesLeftToUse@nonameslefttouse (77)739d

I think it's time.

If you've been following me for awhile I'm sure you've noticed I'm not publishing any new material.

I don't have it in me anymore. It's gone. Those days are behind me now.

Some of you might think I'm joking; taking you for a ride.

I'm Serious

I've given this too much thought, and I know I'm going to miss it more once I say I'm done, but it needs to be said.

Just wanted to leave a note here and say thanks, for everything.

I'll still be around. Somehow I just got to the point where I just don't feel like doing this anymore. Even the act of writing this is far more difficult than it needs to be. Spent several years working on those fancy pictures. Now I want nothing to do with it.

It's strange. How life is sometimes.

So, I'm happy with how things went. I'm grateful for all the good times we had. And it would be so cool to have that again in my life. I miss it a lot. Yet I'm not conflicted. I know damn well I don't have it in me anymore. It's gone.

I could give several reasons, but I don't want to. Just want to move on.

Someone might come along one day, wondering what I'm up to. This is what I'm up to. I'm writing a note so you know, I'm done.

I thought that would be better than saying nothing at all.

It's not a you thing, it's a me thing, so don't take it personally. This decision is important to me.

Maybe I'll change my mind. I went from never wanting to do this again, to doing this again, just to say I'll no longer be doing this again. So that's odd.

But I'm Serious

Sitting here thinking: How long can I drag this out?

At first it was going to be a short post, just talking about how I'm not doing this anymore.

Now it's turning into something else. Feels like my mind is opening up or something. Starting to have fun again.

I bet it'll wear off soon. It better wear off soon. I'm supposed to be retired.

Why won't it stop!

Seriously. I'm done. Just needed to mess around one last time.

I hope you're doing well out there, people.

I'll be fine.

Thanks again.

Oops. Not sure how I missed it. I'll stop by twice at the next one. My bad.
@whatsup(76)· 732d
I got here late, cause I came to the same place a while back. Like falling out of Love I guess.

I do want to say.. Thank you, it was fun. We were both here early and stayed a long while, we agreed, disagreed, laughed, and maybe yelled.

Your art and humor are a big highlight for me, but also you are someone who can disagree and still have a reasonable conversation, that's rare.

We may still cross paths here and there or not.. Either way.. Thanks for the laughs, art, conversations, all of it all.

I will never regret my Hive Journey it was awesome, educational,and a true passion for a while! I'll forever be grateful and appreciative for it.

Take care Hive Fren

Very impressive that you get 405 votes and 95 comments saying goodbye. That's an impressive level of Engagement, it speaks well of your impact here. I tip my hat to you, well done.
@solominer(82)· 733d
Who else is going to leave 1000 word comments?

You will still be you and that's all that matters. It's nice to see you pop up now and then so I hope you still will occasionally, or more. 😀
@daveks(83)· 738d
Officially retiring as a “content creator”, but your comments are now (and have been) your content creations. Officially the best commenter on chain!

@edith-4angelseu(68)· 739d
We really would miss you greatly, I hope you have a fun filled time out there... 🙏
@gtg(76)· 739d
I'm sorry to hear that. Being retired is twice as bad as being just tired.

I hope you recover soon.
@dalz(81)· 739d
One of the best accounts for me personaly on this chain... this medium and you are quite the combination .... wish you well

So long, good to know you.
@bisolamih(68)· 739d
Wow I’m new here and I never knew you but even though you’ve not been here since, it’s good to have you make a post
@nanixxx(76)· 739d
You can do it as a loop. In a few days you come back and say something like you are determined not to have this anymore. If now you only got words and a black picture, that next time you will surely draw something white and some teaching will remain for these mere mortals among whom I count myself. Well, go and come back soon.

And yet it moves... I mean, I understand you. 😃
@adamada(74)· 739d
You keep saying you'll be around but you're still going to be nonameslefttouse

Badum tss

Your posts always had a voice of reason behind them, including the comments. You articulated good sense and still do. Hope you get your mojo back but even if it's gone, I hope you won't be around and just remain as nonameslefttouse.

See ya next week... 😆 🤣 😂

Maybe I'll change my mind. I went from never wanting to do this again, to doing this again, just to say I'll no longer be doing this again. So that's odd.

Have you considered moving on to some other form of art? If doing and talking about something just isn't fun any more, find something that is :) I'll see you in the comments!
@pizzabot(60)· 739d
PIZZA!

$PIZZA slices delivered: @littlebee4_(4/10) tipped @nonameslefttouse
@littlebee4(76)· 739d
I’ll see you around 😉 Good to hear again from you.

!PIZZA
@rafzat(71)· 739d
I once left Hive too for over a year but what’s life without Hive, lol I’m back and better It’s good to hear from you

When one door closes. A window opens.
@godfish(78)· 739d
I have a hunch you'll stop by every now and then anyways ;)
@hivepulse(54)· 739d
Looks like you fed up?
@m31(74)· 739d
Black rectangle, really??! But jokes aside, it is good to let yourself feel how you feel about things. In this case, writing and creating stuff. Of course, the first rection is probably along the lines of nooooooooo, stay, keep going! But I know myself similar feelings about similar things I think. Maybe it is a burnout. Maybe there is not much more to give. Just take your time and follow your heart. And I sure hope to see you pop up around on the chain. Cheers!
@tamaralovelace(70)· 739d
Stay or go...post or not...retire or unretire, you have wormed your way into alot of minds here, so you will never truly be free of us lol. Our thoughts will keep touching the edges of your mind making you scream just leave me alone!

All the best in your next adventure!
@oldsoulnewb(64)· 739d
A chosen retirement is always better than a forced retirement. Part of me thinks you're just following that first rule of showbiz... always leave them wanting more.

Would you be willing to keep posting for a Scooby Snack? Two Scooby Snacks?

Well, nevermind then! I'll save my Scooby Snacks for the next stream-of-consciousness author I find to enjoy.

I hope you find retirement pleasant!
@cmplxty(78)· 739d
As long as you are here dropping comments I understand the need for a break. Sometimes I get to that point but not where you’re at, at least yet.

I tell everyone that needs a break: do it and focus on your offline stuff. The chain will be here when you want to come back, if you do.
@tonyz(77)· 739d
All the best, take care!
@joanstewart(75)· 739d
Touching base sometimes good to take a break when you hit the proverbial wall... Yup enjoy your time whatever you decide.
@sircork(66)· 739d
I left once. I left ANGRY, MAD, SAD and DISAPPOINTED. Shouting caps intentional for emphasis. You just seem tired, not particularly mad or angry about specific things or people like I was, definitely specific people in my case.

But two years later, I came back by and a week after that I was making apps again and a witness again and well. Shit, this was not how I planned it but here I am... again.

So I will say, farewell, thanks for the thoughtful dialog when our ships passed each other this past couple weeks in the comments. But I won't say "goodbye forever", because well, this place is like an addiction or a pesky infection. It will make you sick, it will wear you out, but somehow, after that fades, it beckons again and demands your attention again. Perhaps just nostalgia that won't be met with the current state feeling like those gold old days, but perhaps there is something here worth saving.

We'll leave a light on for ya, that is, as long as somebody keeps voting for the "pay the damn light bills for Hive" proposals anyway.
@incublus(79)· 739d
I don't know, man, I'm gonna miss you and your art. I realize you haven't been around for a while and I haven't been as active as I used to be. I hope this idea is temporary for you and next week you will write a post crying that you miss Hive.

Thank you for everything you've done. I still remember your support during the earthquake. Take care and see you soon.
@beauty197(73)· 739d
Sometimes it happens, we get tired of something we once loved so much, even some type of food we get tired of them, just take your time maybe once in a while you will be inspired to put down just few words, I have to tell you that you have gone a very long way.

I think you need commendation and appreciation plus congratulations 🎉🎉.

Yeah! that's odd. But don't worry mate, life is a pendulum. So, sooner than later we'll see you again over here with renewed energies. Meanwhile, good luck with whatever you want to explore for a while.
