Goodbye for now.

Post by mecka »

This probably doesn't deserve its own thread but i don't really care anymore.

I'm dropping out of the scene and this forum for a while. I don't know how long. Possibly till New Years, possibly forever, maybe sooner if I can get myself sorted out.

Why? There is too much emotional trauma and too many bad memories associated with parties and going out for me. I've crashed and burned harder than I ever have in the last three months and I seriously can't take it. So much has gone right for me but none of the things I've worked hardest on and am so passionate about have. And every time I go out to a party or get mad at some random post on here the knife keeps twisting and twisting and pushing and cutting deeper and deeper. I am not laying blame on anybody, I just hurt too much to have a good time anymore.

This hasn't been an easy decision to come to. This scene and it's people have treated me better than anybody else in my entire life and I'm really sad to leave. Melbournebeats has been a method of venting, of having a laugh, and of escaping from the real world (almost). You people here... well you're all gems, each and every one of you (cept you bombjack, fuck you). You've all been witnesses to my life as it unfolds and some of you have helped me through some of the tougher parts. I thank you all.

What am I going to do? Sort myself out. I really need to be happy again, and am working hard to try and get back to that. It's incredibly difficult to be straight with people when I have to force every smile or laugh.

Some, if not most of you, will call me a drama queen or a crybaby for posting this... and i simply do not give a fuck. Those that know what has been happening to me will also understand my reasons for going.

I'll be lurking from time to time, probably every day for a while seeings as i'm hopelessly addicted to this forum.

If you've got my number, hit me up for a drink - i'm only happy to oblige. I need all the friends I can get right now.

I love drum and bass. I'll listen to it till the end of the earth if possible.

But I can't be part of this community right now.

Adieu.

Dude. Best of luck to you and call if you need. You know that your friends respect your decisions no matter what, and will be here once you fell like you are back on your feet again.

Big Ups to you Ollie. A true gem and one least deserving of so much pain. Was really cool to meet you (properly) last night, and I hope to catch you again when you're where you want to be.

Best of luck in you endeavours, emotionally and otherwise mate.

Muchos respekt Ollie :salute:

The forum can be fun if you remember its place

Know the difference between friends and acquaintances

Hold onto those who make you feel taller.

Take those who don't with a grain of salt

Sending you strength and good vibes

Word to that Ollie - what Nat said. It's basically law in my world.
Hope you are ok mate?
Dude - your proabably one of the strongest minded people on here - you don't drink, you don't smoke, you don't do drugs.
It takes lots of strength to be able to accomplish that, while still remaining in a scene like this.
Take that on board, and use those those strengths in other area's.
Your an incredibly intelligent, youthful dude, with the world at your feet - no need to be so hard on yourself.

Totally understand why you would want to not post any more though.
I think lots of people are feeling the same about internet forums lately.

Anyway, really hope your ok mate.
And will see you soon. 8)

Take care Ollie. Shit in life is fucked, and I hope that you can get up and get up as we have too, and find happiness. Its worth searching for and the world WILL give you back what you deserve eventually. Sometimes it just takes too fucking long though :?

And i think this did deserve its own thread, youve been an integral part of this forum, in whatever way you like.

I also share my strength with you too.

Big ups to searching for a happy life.

Been watching your movements on this forum for a while and have an idea of what you're going through. Hope you find a way to deal or rationalise a reason for what you're going through right now, it's not easy, but i'm sure you'll find something. Chat soon.

Good luck man!

A lot of life's triumph's come from facing what's already in front of you. The challenge is moving through it with your hand on your heart and a beat in your step.

You walk among dreamers. But never tread softly on your own dreams.

I for one haven't met you, or most of the peeps here, but i know for a fact you have lifted many a day for me by posting something of significance even though it may not have seemed like it at the time.

The future is bright. Stay solid. Enjoy the time off in the sun.

Bonjur.
