Goodbye IMVU

My friend Savvin has been amazing these past few days as I came to a tough decision in regards to a site, I pretty much grew up with and on. IMVU it's been an amazing 13 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 but....this world wary soul is done. As of tonight, I am officially bowing out. It was a gut wrenching time, filled with more laughter than I've ever known. But filled with more tears than I care to explain. Everyone, all those who I'd grown up with, were there. Running into Red Fang again, my ex, and now best friend, was a blessing. But there were tears of sorrow as we all came to realize that...this was it...this was the end of a 13 year long reign that had begun when a naïve girl joined a community.


But heartbreakingly out of all the parts of the reunion was knowing my best friend and brother from across the pond, is forever gone. Max was always there for me. He was always able to lift my spirits whenever I felt down. I had once promised him, that no matter what, I would stay on the site for as long as he did. But Max is gone. He's never coming back and the painful reminder continues to slap me in the face, each time I log on and see his image on my friends list. A vivid reminder of the day his mother called, telling me he was critical in ICU. A reminder of the day when his mother again called with the devastating news.


I've grown tired of seeing everyone saying "RIP" to friends they more than likely rarely hung out with and I refuse to be a statistic. The chances to hang out with me were there, were even offered at large, but none came, and if they did, they rarely stayed. So with much thanks to my former packmates, to those who I'd held long standing roleplays with, like holy shit, y'all, we grew up together.


Thank you.


Thank you for the crazy times. The Hard times. The fucking most amazing 13 years that I've ever had on a website. But as with all things, it's time to go.


Savvin said he's never been prouder. Never cried so hard.


"Like a true Khaleesi, may her reign last long after she's gone. She is, and always will be, our Queen." - Savvin
