Well, had I not said a thing.. I suppose I would be gone now forever. There are some who have been with me in past worlds and watched me disapear. Neualtenburg snagged my heart though, and with mixed feelings I posted my leave.

That lead to some telling me how much they would miss me (I knew that would happen and didn't want saddness for anyone on this account). But in all honesty it was my husband in RL that made me come to a compromise. Those who were at the SLCC and heard what I spoke about would understand how that could happen. If you were not there, it will be a story for another time.

Regardless, my choice has come to this.

I am selling my land in Sistiana still (those who have contacted me, I'm sorry for the delay and *will* be in touch). I will be teiring down too my bare minimum to retain my grandfathered land since before 1.2. I'm not upset with LL, so I don't want to punish them. But I also can't pay $25 a month to a world I'm taking a vacation from. But, $10 a month I can handle while I'm away.

I will be paying 6 months in advance to Neault for my deeded land. And through emails I hope to help resolve my RA position. And for what it is worth, not a single person in Neault affected my decision to leave. If anything, yet again, Neualt is the one thing that ties me dearly to this world. I love the diversity and I love the fact that even if we do not all agree, it does not matter because we have in place a system that works above petty bullshit.

I'll be in world a few times in the next week to settle business. After that, I'm not coming back till August of this year. That is my set date to see how I feel. Those who have my email are welcome to contact me!! However, if I do not contact you back within a few weeks, it is probably because I am not yet ready to talk with you, or perhaps never will be.

Those who have contacted me with reasons to stay, I thank you again!! And I promise I'll stay in touch while on my break. I'll check back in world in August (after this week) and see if I'm ready to move forward.

There is a unique quality to this world. I curse it and adore it in one breath. Have fun, move forward, and be true! *HUGS*

Pendari, your "unexpected" visit yesterday at the RA meeting and this post of yours gladdened my heart — it's completely different "leaving forever" and "taking a long vacation". I truly wish you two things: that the "long vacation" becomes more than enough for you to settle your feelings about SL, and that all people that harmed you will, well, hopefully disappear/give up/forget about your existence/whatever works best for you.

One thing is for certain: as much as SL will change in the next six months, Neualtenburg will be here to await your return with a welcome

Sincerely, I wish you a nice "vacation from SL" and my strongest desire is that you can work everything out during that time...

Thanks for everything

*hugs*

This sounds a lot more hopeful, Pen. I like the idea of a vacation...especially with occasional visits. : )

I read your first post just a bit ago about leaving and I thought, 'oh no, another good person is gone.' I always seem to stumble upon such things much after the fact.. to a very sad heart. I hope your time away lends itself to peace and healing for whatever ailed you here. Feel free to pop by.. you know you always will be welcomed back by many open arms.

Take care Pendari!
