Adieu, Adios, Addio

A few days ago I made the decision to quit Lit., both writing stories for the site and posting on the AH. I started out letting my best AH friends know, then wrote a couple more people, then became concerned I might hurt someone’s feelings so wrote a few more people. Now, rather than writing yet more personal notes I’m writing my last post. Unlike those who post a farewell and then come back within a day or two, I will not return (unless Maths does, haha, dumb joke).

According to one pal some people are worried about me. I am very well. I am not depressed or even slightly sad, not even about leaving Lit. The decision was a long time in the making, but when I made it I felt very good, and still do. Some of my reasons were based on stuff and people that did not make me feel good, but they were only one recent catalyst. My main reasons are positive.

It was an odd synchronicity to both of us that SubJosé and I left at the same time, but we had similar reasons on the positive end. I have a good life and want to live it in actuality. I want to get on with my non-erotic writing and photography work; they satisfy me most among all my interests. I’ve also returned to reading as much as I used to before joining Lit. (I’ve read several books just in the past week.)

Quoting a good pal, I want to “face the world as myself again”. It was interesting and usually fun to be Perdita online, but I am not her to people I truly want and need in my life. If you at all lament that she’s gone, know that she was just the tip of an old iceberg. Let her be no more than a mote of dust (or precum) in the grand scheme of the forum, which is to say hardly anything or anyone at all. Adieu, Perdu.

As for the current composition of the AH, I’ve ranted and whinged often enough about the same issues which seem to prevail even more now. As with persons in my life, if their presence does more to vex than enhance my life, I move on. Some of you may have noticed that it was becoming difficult for me to be polite or tactful, and I do not care for that, nor for being oppressively silent.

I am grateful for all the good times I’ve had here, and especially for a number of people I’ve come to know as friends or simply learned from or been inspired by. However, it seems that virtual spring is nearly desiccated (for me anyway).

So I wish everyone well and thank you for your time and attention.

Perdita :heart:
 
Enjoy every moment, sweets.

:kiss:

I'll keep an eye out for a sexy chica in a hat, eyes sparkling mischievously through the fog.
 
Via con Dios, Per.

Although we've had our differences, I will miss you.

Buena suerte a usted.
 
Good-bye, Perdita,


I shall miss your erudite postings, especially – as I have a particular urge to learn more about words – your comprehensive definitions.

Since you don’t wish it, I will not beg you to return soon, but if ever you do, I’ll let you borrow my lucky g-string. ;)


Hail and Farewell!

I'm so sorry.

I'm going to miss you perdita.

Please write occasionally.


<nodding>
Yeah, what RG said...most definitely...

I shall miss both you and all the interesting little tidbits and items of news and interest that you brought to our attention around here...

Farewell, hon...<kissing your hand and waving, reluctantly, good bye>

:rose: :kiss: :rose:
 
It won't be the same place with Perdita gone. Not the same at all. You'll be missed.

I don't know you near as well as many others here, but I've always found your posts to be witty, wise, and a bit wistful. It's in this last one that I shall miss you - you don't let your world here become your world there, where you really live and [hopefully] thrive. In that sense, I understand your leaving, I think... Still, I hope that you can come back from time to time, maybe under a different persona that doesn't have the weight of Perdita, to at least share your point of view. I ebb and flow here, but I've always seen that you present a reasonable front, with considerable humor, not least about yourself.

Plus, I understand what the hell it is you're trying to say.

That's no small feat.

(I actually wrote, rewrote, edited, blah de blah blah blahed that last paragraph for at least half an hour before I realized that those four words said what I meant, and that trying to "clarify" just reduced their meaning.)

All the best wishes to you. Conquer Real Life! Because you can! And if you encounter doubts, don't hesitate to stop by for a quick virtual roll in the hay. I'm sure lots of us are glad to oblige :D
 
Aw P....who am I going to use my rusty spanish on now???

If perchance you do stop back to read this, just know that it was a pleasure getting to know you and I wish you all the best in your life.

Never stop wearing hats and stay the groovy chick you are. :cool:

Vaya con dios amiga. :heart: There will always be a seat in Abstrusions for you if you plan on coming back. :heart:

Abby. :kiss:
 
Don't know if you'll read this girl, but the invitation is still open and tickets to the Old Globe are a phone call away. I'm easy to find....

I will miss our conversations...
 
All the best, Perdita :rose:

I'll miss Perdita, but I'll also miss never knowing the real person behind Perdita :kiss:

Take care of yourself, and good luck with the non-erotic writing and photography work.

You really will be missed.

I'm sorry that I was only able to enjoy you for such a short time, but I am forever in your debt for the kindness and consideration you showed to this newbie.

I wish you nothing but happiness in the future. :rose:

Aw, Christ... I'm actually gettin' broken up about this.

You're not the only one.

Oh fuck, P. I'm gonna miss you. I just sat here and cried, and I already knew. I'm a soft cow like that, though.

This place really will not be the same without you. I know we'll stay in contact, but you won't be here, and neither is Joe. Bugger!!!!!

BUT, this is not about me, or us - the rest of the AH. This is about YOU. This is about you doing what you have to do, and I do completely understand your reasons.

Take care, love. You, Perdita, have made a massive impact on my life, and you'll never be forgotten. I'll write to you often.

take care P. may you find happiness and your hearts content. who am i going to send that perfect divan and a copy of Tolstoy to now?

"The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant." ~Plato
couldnt let you go without a quote from Plato...
