That's All Folks

I'm not sure if any of my watchers are active anymore, but then again, neither am I.
Anyways, I've made the decision to deactivate my account. It's been a good run, though--8 years, 1 daily deviation, 566 deviations, 15,232 comments, 37,204 pageviews, and 142 watchers (Oh, and a 4-year-long relationship). When I first created my account as a 12 year old, I certainly didn't think I'd get this far, in both my art career and even life. I spent a lot of time on this site and as part of the dA community, and made a lot of friends and have viewed a lot of great art. But it's time for me to move on to better things. I'm starting my junior year of college now and DeviantART is just something that I've...forgotten about, to say the least, for a long time. It only occurred to me the other day that I still had an account that was once a big part of my life as an artist now just sitting vacant, so I've made the decision to wipe it clean. It's kinda bittersweet, I guess. There's a lot of good memories on this site for me, and I get to look back and see my growth as an artist, but things have changed for me and will continue to change, even after this. If I could tell my twelve year old self, "Hey, this site is gonna be the start of your art career" and show her how far I've made it through the 8 years I would have this account, I don't think my younger self would believe how far I'd get as a 20 year old or that dA was the start of basically everything.
So, thanks deviantART. Thank you to all of my followers as well, those who've been with me this long. It's been great.

Yeeaah... You can delete this if you choose, I don't give a rodent's behind.
I just wanted to say that I'll be gone for a while, most likely the whole week or more, to break away from things I suppose.
I'm feeling really, really depressed and down on myself lately, and nothing is helping. Nothing. Nada. I cant even to talk to anybody to feel better, I'm just that sad, so I figured going through comments wouldn't do much either.
So yeah. I'll be back in a week, maybe more. Who knows.
