I think it's time.
If you've been following me for awhile I'm sure you've noticed I'm not publishing any new material.
I don't have it in me anymore. It's gone. Those days are behind me now.
Some of you might think I'm joking; taking you for a ride.
I'm Serious
I've given this too much thought, and I know I'm going to miss it more once I say I'm done, but it needs to be said.
Just wanted to leave a note here and say thanks, for everything.
I'll still be around. Somehow I just got to the point where I just don't feel like doing this anymore. Even the act of writing this is far more difficult than it needs to be. Spent several years working on those fancy pictures. Now I want nothing to do with it.
It's strange. How life is sometimes.
So, I'm happy with how things went. I'm grateful for all the good times we had. And it would be so cool to have that again in my life. I miss it a lot. Yet I'm not conflicted. I know damn well I don't have it in me anymore. It's gone.
I could give several reasons, but I don't want to. Just want to move on.
Someone might come along one day, wondering what I'm up to. This is what I'm up to. I'm writing a note so you know, I'm done.
I thought that would be better than saying nothing at all.
It's not a you thing, it's a me thing, so don't take it personally. This decision is important to me.
Maybe I'll change my mind. I went from never wanting to do this again, to doing this again, just to say I'll no longer be doing this again. So that's odd.
But I'm Serious
Sitting here thinking: How long can I drag this out?
At first it was going to be a short post, just talking about how I'm not doing this anymore.
Now it's turning into something else. Feels like my mind is opening up or something. Starting to have fun again.
I bet it'll wear off soon. It better wear off soon. I'm supposed to be retired.
Why won't it stop!
Seriously. I'm done. Just needed to mess around one last time.
I hope you're doing well out there, people.
I'll be fine.
Thanks again.
Stay or go...post or not...retire or unretire, you have wormed your way into alot of minds here, so you will never truly be free of us lol. Our thoughts will keep touching the edges of your mind making you scream just leave me alone!
All the best in your next adventure!
You make the next adventure sound more crazy than the previous one. lol
Well...you never know! lol
NoMorePostsToWrite
Black rectangle, really??! But jokes aside, it is good to let yourself feel how you feel about things. In this case, writing and creating stuff. Of course, the first rection is probably along the lines of nooooooooo, stay, keep going! But I know myself similar feelings about similar things I think. Maybe it is a burnout. Maybe there is not much more to give. Just take your time and follow your heart. And I sure hope to see you pop up around on the chain. Cheers!
I'm gone, but I'm not gone. To me, that makes perfect sense. And the picture of black is just me shutting the lights off. The same switch could turn it back on but I'll leave it alone. Maybe it'll turn itself back on.
I have a hunch you'll stop by every now and then anyways ;)
I'm only putting my own stuff behind me. Everything else is still here.
When one door closes.
A window opens.
And one can still see the world.
Have you considered moving on to some other form of art? If doing and talking about something just isn't fun any more, find something that is :) I'll see you in the comments!
No. Just moving on. Starting from scratch once, is enough.
You keep saying you'll be around but you're still going to be nonameslefttouse
Badum tss
Your posts always had a voice of reason behind them, including the comments. You articulated good sense and still do. Hope you get your mojo back but even if it's gone, I hope you won't be around and just remain as nonameslefttouse.
Maybe I'll be NoNamesLeftToUseIsAroundNow
I'll respect your pronouns too.
You can do it as a loop. In a few days you come back and say something like you are determined not to have this anymore. If now you only got words and a black picture, that next time you will surely draw something white and some teaching will remain for these mere mortals among whom I count myself.
Well, go and come back soon.
And yet it moves... I mean, I understand you. 😃
I could spend the next few years writing about retirement and how life is now without posting on Hive. However, this could potentially confuse the audience. And that's something a writer should never do, unless they feel like it.
😂
As long as you are here dropping comments I understand the need for a break. Sometimes I get to that point but not where you’re at, at least yet.
I tell everyone that needs a break: do it and focus on your offline stuff. The chain will be here when you want to come back, if you do.
I'll still be around until I'm not around.
I left once. I left ANGRY, MAD, SAD and DISAPPOINTED. Shouting caps intentional for emphasis. You just seem tired, not particularly mad or angry about specific things or people like I was, definitely specific people in my case.
But two years later, I came back by and a week after that I was making apps again and a witness again and well. Shit, this was not how I planned it but here I am... again.
So I will say, farewell, thanks for the thoughtful dialog when our ships passed each other this past couple weeks in the comments. But I won't say "goodbye forever", because well, this place is like an addiction or a pesky infection. It will make you sick, it will wear you out, but somehow, after that fades, it beckons again and demands your attention again. Perhaps just nostalgia that won't be met with the current state feeling like those gold old days, but perhaps there is something here worth saving.
We'll leave a light on for ya, that is, as long as somebody keeps voting for the "pay the damn light bills for Hive" proposals anyway.
I'll still be around, like I have been. Just really wanted to put all this behind now, make it official, like I told you I'd do. Put it down on good terms. Move on.
Well as one of your chosen witness votes, for which Witty and I are both grateful as the witness team you picked as one of your votes, I will represent for you however you wish to be represented. If you want to identify as "gone and retired", you have my full support of that.
Best wishes, farewell. Until we meet again. Which I am hoping is eventually, maybe, perhaps, someday.
I don't mind hooking you guys up. And I ask for nothing in return. Just do your thing and do it well.
I don't know, man, I'm gonna miss you and your art. I realize you haven't been around for a while and I haven't been as active as I used to be. I hope this idea is temporary for you and next week you will write a post crying that you miss Hive.
Thank you for everything you've done. I still remember your support during the earthquake. Take care and see you soon.
I'll still be around wandering the halls. Not a temporary thing. Several months worth of thought went into this decision.
I'll see you around.
Touching base sometimes good to take a break when you hit the proverbial wall...
Yup enjoy your time whatever you decide.
This is more like crashing through the wall.
Leave a little hole to peek in every so often 🙃
Sometimes it happens, we get tired of something we once loved so much, even some type of food we get tired of them, just take your time maybe once in a while you will be inspired to put down just few words, I have to tell you that you have gone a very long way.
I think you need commendation and appreciation plus congratulations 🎉🎉.
Thanks for that.
And you're right, nothing unusual. Putting it behind me is the next step forward.
I agree with you, move ahead
Will you be hosting a retirement party.
Probably not. Just sit, chill, and think.
Am sure inspiration on that will come soon
A chosen retirement is always better than a forced retirement. Part of me thinks you're just following that first rule of showbiz... always leave them wanting more.
Would you be willing to keep posting for a Scooby Snack? Two Scooby Snacks?
Well, nevermind then! I'll save my Scooby Snacks for the next stream-of-consciousness author I find to enjoy.
I hope you find retirement pleasant!
I've had that scooby snacks song in my head all day because of this.
Thanks. I like that song.
We really would miss you greatly, I hope you have a fun filled time out there... 🙏
What is there to miss? I rarely posted anything, and I'm still here.
I started following you when you were still posting and I had often wondered why you've been scarce around here 😊
It takes a lot out of me.
I understand 😊
Official Poof
It's going to be different without you. I was only saying today in a comment that there's some many old-schoolers I miss.
Different? Looking back, I was rarely here. So maybe things will be the same.
Well yeah, but I mean from back in the day.
Anyway, if you've made your decision I can only assume you've thought it through and feel it's the best one at the moment and I respect that.
Several months, nonstop thinking. This isn't spontaneous. To the point it doesn't hurt to say it's finished.
Yep, I suspected that was the case.
One of the best accounts for me personaly on this chain... this medium and you are quite the combination .... wish you well
Coming from you, I know that's real. Thanks dude. I'll see you around.
I'm sorry to hear that. Being retired is twice as bad as being just tired.
I hope you recover soon.
If that's tired. This is retired:
And of course they also survived without injury.
Yeah! that's odd. But don't worry mate, life is a pendulum. So, sooner than later we'll see you again over here with renewed energies. Meanwhile, good luck with whatever you want to explore for a while.
I'll still be around. Just finished posting. Retired.
Yeah, stay around. Just don't post anymore. Keep it simple. You can now simply LiveStream in silence your expertise creating monsters & aliens with Krita. :)
Doubt I'd be doing that. It's strange. Lost all interest in it. Don't feel like starting over. Time to do something else.
Hehehe, I understand. Maybe it's just that you've matured lately and now you're only interested in going into the forest to begin the hard work of creating your own paper where you eventually can express your thoughts only for yourself and restart drawing your new fiction characters IRL. With some luck, you might even stumble upon a new girlfriend who will accompany you and teach you how it's done.
All the best, take care!
Will do!
See ya next week... 😆 🤣 😂
Is it next week yet, or was this too soon?

So long, good to know you.
Still here. Still good to know you.
I’ll see you around 😉
Good to hear again from you.
!PIZZA
I will be around, so yes, you will see me being around. Much like now.
Looks like you fed up?
It's all good.
Is it due to prolonged bearish market?
No. It's due to having no desire to publish writings or produce artwork. There was always more to life than just crypto here.
I see
I once left Hive too for over a year but what’s life without Hive, lol
I’m back and better
It’s good to hear from you
Taking breaks helps. Did that. Now I'm hitting the brakes.
Wow
I’m new here and I never knew you but even though you’ve not been here since, it’s good to have you make a post
And this is how a goodbye turned into a hello.
