...but I think that it's time for me to bow out. Interests change, people change, goals change and I suppose I've changed too.

I started writing on here when I was 16 years old and still in highschool, tapping out some nice tacky fanfiction in the back of my classes, and now I'm 20. Thinking back on it now, time has really passed quickly. I've grown close with a lot of my readers and gotten to know so many beautiful, kind, incredibly generous people that I know I will remember and cherish for years and years to come. And yes, even if we don't talk often anymore, you can be sure that I still think of you.

I feel so lucky to have been part of such a warm and encouraging community for just over 4 years. Many of you have stuck with me through hiatuses, self-doubt and long stretches of low motivation, but you were always there to welcome me back with open arms when I was ready. I'm gonna miss writing for y'all.

Thank you so much to everyone who read even a sentence of the nonsense I've put on paper. All of my stories will stay up; they will never be removed.

I'm active on pretty much all bases of social media, and if you want to keep in touch with me through twitter or facebook or anywhere else, please don't be afraid to ask.

Anyhow,

This is Adriatic/Brooke, signing off one last time.
