An apology for my previous long and frequent absences

Hey everyone. I know I technically don't have to post this since I've already sortof resumed activity here, but I felt like I at least owed it to myself to try and explain some things, at the very least in regard to my most recent absence.

Where to start things off...Well, when I first joined the internet, I became immersed in a particular chat based RP community known as chatango. Little did I know (at the time) that most of the rp i would encounter there was of the more sordid variety. Having been raised in that for the duration of my internet internship seems to have heavily influenced (or tainted dependent on values) my rp style since. I've bounced around a lot, and very few rp sites have been as welcoming to me as this one.

My first couple times that i disappeared, aside from being busy with work, were actually fear responses due to a combination of A: (my experience with less lenient sites) and B: (me misunderstanding advice that staff gave me). The most recent one, however, had nothing to do with either cause, to be perfectly honest. Truth is, at the time, I'd been having trouble with a particular person here, who I won't name, because it wasn't entirely their fault. At the same time, I'd found the direction that my RP style was taking to be somewhat troubling, and needed to take some time for what some might call self discovery.

That is to say, to remind myself what it was so much i enjoyed about RP, and what variety I wanted to write, as well as how I wanted to write, and how to do so without forgetting those feelings. Truth is, while I might not be the most inspiring writer here, I do try to take some pride in my work. So, while I might write posts with low word counts, or take a while to post, I'll always try to pack as much quality in as I can with the time available to me. I apologize to those that were upset by my last leave of absence, and I'll try not to disappear on everyone like that again. Thank you for understanding.
