    Er hi, will you have me back?

    Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by I.A. By the Barn, Mar 2, 2017.

    I lost friends. I can't get a job and I stopped trying. I just kinda went adrift. My mind wanted to go and I followed it.
    I shouldn't have, I know, but I was so goddamn tired of fighting it, and I just want to see where it went.
    Some places were good, others were the worst places I've ever been.

    But I just want to ask, can I come back? I feel like I've abandoned some people on here a bit. I was waiting for a day when I felt well, but I don't think that's coming.
    Can I carry on getting over enthusiastic about my stories here? Can I carry on being plain daft here?
    I'm very sorry.

    Deep breath... in.... out....

    Why would we not have you back? Trust me, I once took a two year sabbatical from all foruming because I needed a detox and a reconnect with the physical plane.

    I don't think anyone wants it any other way.

    Welcome back!

    @I.A. By the Barn I do the same regularly. I had about three months at the end of last year where I shut myself away and barely spoke to anybody. The best friends are the ones who welcome you back and don't make you explain. So welcome!

    Hello again, and welcome back! :friend: I sure hope this is a place where people can tootle off now and then and not have to go into explanations. I mean, life happens.

    @I.A. By the Barn - unless you actually get banned, you're never 'gone.' You just took a break. We all need a break now and then. Welcome back to feeling better!

    Exactly. I left here for about a year once. We all need breaks.

    Won't lie. You could make a decent poem out of your return post.


    I lost friends
    Can't get a job
    and I stopped trying.
    I just kinda went adrift.
    My mind wanted to go and I followed it.
    I shouldn't have, I know,
    but I was so goddamn tired of fighting it
    and I just want to see where it went.
    Some places were good, others...
    were the worst places I've ever been.

    But I just want to ask, can I come back?
    I feel like I've abandoned some people on here
    a bit...
    I was waiting for a day when I felt well.
    I don't think that's coming...
    Can I carry on getting over enthusiastic
    Can I carry on being plain daft...
    I'm very sorry.

    I only edited it a little.

    Welcome back!!! We're glad to have your return. I'm kind-of new. Hopefully I don't bother you too much. ;)

    So, I know we haven't interacted that much directly, but I've seen you around and I would be glad to see you around again. I took a bit of a break myself, but I think I'm coming back.

    The last time you walked out that door I didn't think I'd be able to breath, let alone see the day you'd return to break my heart yet again. I'm sorry, I can't let you back in
