Ooc: So lost... [1/2]
... I'm faded.
Dear friends, dear fellow players,
I’ve thought for a very long time about how to say this. And every time I started typing, I got stuck… Because deep down, I didn’t want this moment to ever come. But with pain in my heart, I’ve decided that it’s time to say goodbye to Popmundo, and therefore also to all of you. For good.
This past year, I’ve been offline more often than online. Not only because of my fragile health, but because I found it hard to truly let go. Every time I thought: not yet, just a little longer, one more look. Because disappearing without a word, as I’ve seen others do, felt wrong. I didn’t want that. I didn’t want to quietly vanish from a world that has been such a big part of my life.
In the almost fifteen years I’ve been here, I’ve experienced so much. I’ve laughed until tears rolled down my cheeks, made friends who felt like more than friends, shared stories, felt love, and known loss. This world was never just a game, it was a place where I felt at home, especially since the COVID period. And that’s exactly why saying goodbye hurts so much.
Since the passing of Timmy’s husband,
Thom(as), something inside me changed. That was a turning point. Something was lost that never came back, no matter how much I wished it would. I still often listen to the music and artists we shared back then through blogs and Discord. Songs full of memories. Sometimes I smile, sometimes it just hurts, but always with love. And Jonas, if you ever read this: thank you. For the time we shared, for being there when we needed each other, for the conversations, the humor, the warmth, and everything you meant to me. You were an important part of what made all this so special. But at some point, I think we no longer needed each other, and that’s okay. In the end, real life outside of Popmundo always takes priority. As it should be.
