Farwell (For A While)

[Starburst]

Yes, I know - again, already?! For those of you who were aware, just a few months ago I took a break from being on BYC as well. And though I've only returned for a short while, and when I first came back, I was doing quite well, I'm sorry to say that I'll be once again withdrawing for a while. I hope to be back and active on here as soon as I think I'm once again in a good place - but after last time's results, I may wait just a little more to make sure I won't decline so quickly again.
I want to be clear here - BYC is one of my favorite places to be, and I absolutely love it on here!!! Thank you everyone for being such an awesome community! You all are always so friendly, kind, helpful, and cheerful! And I also love that you all are about as crazy about chickens as I am!
This isn't easy for me to leave for a while so soon - but I've been struggling a lot recently, and there have been several reasons that have led me to often feel like I'm not...being myself.
I'm not leaving BYC just because I want to leave BYC - I'm mainly leaving this amazing community for a short time because I want to take a break from being online and on screens so much - I think it'll be better for my mental health to take a step back and spend more time out in the forest and nature, and of course, with my chickens.
Right now, I'm hurting, both emotionally and physically, and I don't want to trouble any of you by spilling out all of my problems, but I will add that just so you know one of the reasons of why I'm leaving. I hope that none of you will worry too much - know that I think I'm going to be all right and that I'll be taking care of myself.
I may stop by occasionally, just to check in and catch up on how all of you are doing - I really care so much about all of you!!! I just wanted to let you know that you probably won't be seeing me around as much for the time being.
Thank you so much everyone, and take care! Love and hugs to all of you!

We're going to miss you! You're such a nice person and I hope you can return to this community feeling yourself again, no matter how long it takes. Sometimes we just need a break to relax and recover, mentally and physically. I hope you feel better soon! I'll be here when you come back!

@Starburst Oh Lucy, my heart aches for you, some people look outward when they are hurting and others look within. I've been there, often lately myself. When the soul is restless for whatever reason, it tears at the heart. I know the importance of pulling away to recenter yourself and if that is what your soul needs, definitely do so. Know that you have a great many friends here that care about you and if you need any of them, myself included, we are only a post away. I will always hold you close to my heart and pray for your peace of mind on your journey in life. Massive love and hugs across the miles Lucy.

I'm really at a loss for words...thank you, everyone, for your encouragement, compassion, and comfort all of you are pouring onto me. I really cannot find a way to express my gratitude - it comforts me more than any of you know. Hugs!

That it is! Though I love being called Starburst or Silly Starburst too!

May God be with you! I always loved your signature and especially this "Remember that God loves you, no matter what. " It always made me feel better.
