| There's a reason why I haven't updated in a few months. One reason was that I was fed up with lack of subs, comments, and support. I decided to take a month off. But then I realized how much more time I felt I had. I realized that what was once a hobby had become an obsession. For instance, my main layout right now was made before I even dreamed of quitting. And I have four other main layouts lined up from before I quite, as well as over sixty banners I made out of sheer boredom. There's a reason why I decided to quit once and for all today. Not only was xanga my obsession; it was my addiction. Every day I'd come home and race to the computer to see if I had new comments or subs. By doing this, I set myself up for disappointment. I begged for subs and comments. I pleaded for them. I even blackmailed you guys by offering a certain amount of layouts for a certain amount of subscribers. There's a reason why I changed the main layout right before I quit. I saw how my creation got messed up on my few months off. I decided I didn't want to leave the site looking like a mess. I wanted to quit on a high note, so to speak. There's a reason why I will never give out the code to this particular layout, and it may be a bit of a selfish reason. If I'm going to quit with my pretty new layout's code for the internet world to use, it's quite likely that the moment I log off someone will claim it as their own. I realize it wouldn't be that difficult for an experienced layout maker to copy it manually, but I'd rather someone work to create their own instead of simply copying and pasting a code. There's a reason why I am pouring my thoughts out to the internet. I always thought of xanga as my online diary, except with different people's oppinions contributing to my views. I always liked xanga more than myspace for that reason. It seems on myspace no one blogs anymore, and that used to be the most fun thing to do on the web. I'm not quite sure why babbling on is so addicting, but it always was my favorite part of the internet. There's a reason why I started every paragraph with 'There's a reason'. Actually there isn't, but I thought I'd end my rambling the same as I began it. I'm sorry I'm a perfectionist. The point of all of the above was to simply state this final sentence in detail: "Xanga was supposed to be a hobby, but turned into an obsession and addiction that simply wasted my free time and disappointed me endlessly." Quoted from Kristian from tikixhut. I just want to let you guys know that i'm NOT DONE WITH THIS SITE, but i'm taking a long break.Who knows, I might quit sooner or later, but I already for the last few months stopped with this site. So, to conclude, I'M DONE. XANGA, BYE. |
