"Girls who need relationships in order to keep themselves happy are just plain sad."
Princess Iris' final words. ^
We had abruptly found out that This user had left the wiki... for good.
Because of this, we will be making a memoir (I want to anyway) please... take the time to see this. It's a real kick in the gut when a user suddenly leaves without any forewarning or notice. But it's even more surprising and downright saddening when it's a close friend. Iris. We have all had great memories with her... it's so unfair she had to leave. Not that we haven't endured a number of hardships in the past (which stressed me the hell out, too) but, all in all, chat is a great place. The worst part about her leaving is that, with chat already hanging by a mere thread, now it unravels a whole new can of worms. If we had gotten told about her permanent leave from the chat, things could have panned out.... a bit....... better.
Let me begin a first claim: why the hell did she leave this place? That's unknown. I have tried to gather evidence but all users seem unbeknownst to the cause of this effect. Even Shadow whom is was very close to Risi, he wasn't told why she left. He was thrown to the curb, in a sense. I have only linked one piece of evidence-based reason on why she left. I have found a blog post by Iris on her profile page, and although the blog is over a two years old, I believe that the permanent dismissal of the wiki could be either a rebuttal to this, or something much like this has occurred. Either way, I'd see why she would leave (if this is the case). Again, don't judge me, as I could be very wrong.
The aforementioned blog can be read in its purest form here. Or, if you're too goddamn lazy to click the GODDAMN link, I will quote what she said here.
"Haya.
you may have heard or have known this for a bit already, but I'm leaving this place for good, reasons as to why I am..well, where do I start..? The past couple of days here have been tearing me apart inside, I just can't take it anymore. I just, don't feel important here anymore, I don't feel like, I'm needed or even wanted. The other thing is, well...the "booty" jokes, they're really, (in my opinion) immature and not the kind of thing a moderator should be doing, because it's rather gross and quite childish. Anyway, though, yes my time here is officially finished, I'm tired of this place, there have been times where I have been ignored, even by people who said they'd never ignore me, I guess people don't go by their words here..Sometimes, I even feel as if, I was replaced, it's a pretty awful feeling, there have been times, where I felt as if I was being used..which has happened to me in real life, twice, so it is a feeling I'm quite used to. Thing is, I'm just, really tired of this place, I'm tired of the jokes, the drama, everything. Don't even try to stop me from leaving, because I've made up my mind, and there's nothing, and nobody who can stop me. Yes, I'm happy with my choice, very happy actually, because now I don't have to worry about trolls, spammers, or invasions. Speaking of that though, I'm giving up my chat moderator rights as well, oh, and no B-Mon, they're not up for sale! Anyway, the "booty jokes" is not something a moderator should be doing, it's immature, childish and really just, inappropriate, it actually ticks me off when someone does it, and thinks it's completely okay, no I am done with this, officially finished. I'm done with the heart ache, the pain, and the drama, I'm tired of seeing my friends get themselves caught in drama, and with me usually being stuck in the middle of it. Thank you everyone, for the good times though, the friendships, and all the help I've received when I was really hurt and sad in the past month, I appreciate everything good that happened, I just wanna forget everything painful that happened to me, that I've never told anyone, because I don't like bothering people with my problems, even if they do wanna help. Anywaay, yes, I hope you people are happy, hence Happy by Pharrell Williams. So, party all you guys want, I'm gone, I'm done, I'm a free goose, I belong in the wild. There have been times, where I was hurt by the things being said or done, and I've legit broken into tears, but never said a word about it, to anyone. I can't keep this going anymore, I'm done with the heart breaks, the heart aches, the pains, the tears, everything, I am so done. Should I, go deeper into the part, where I said, the pains...? Well, by the pain, I mean, the stuff that happens when I'm sitting there on chat, but, deep down, I always wished I was somewhere else, like, sitting on a cliff far away from every single person in this world, where I could be whoever I want, I always imagined myself sitting on the edge of a cliff, just thinking about stuff, my life, my future, etc, but then I look back at chat, and I'm like,"why am I even here? Nobody even needs me.." I do, have mild-moderate depression, I have checked the symptoms for it, and it results that I do, indeed have it, nobody in my family or my real life friends know about it, I'm actually, deep down, sensitive, fragile, and I can get hurt easily, I just really like acting rude to cover it up, and when I'm alone, I let everything out, resulting in tears and pain. So, yeah I can't be here, anymore...Goodbye. *flaps her goose wings and takes off*"
...
Secondly, I'd like to point out that this has kind of been ongoing. I've noticed that Iris had become increasingly quiet prior to her quitting. I never said anything because I didn't connect the dots thinking something was up. Then again, this did happen out of the blue. All in all, I think it was a reaction of bottled up emotion. Bottling up your feelings over time can cause overwhelming stress, and can cause unforeseeable outbursts of feeling, which can cause.... well, things like this. Especially considering how sudden and unexpected it was, it's likely this could have happened. But, there's still one more question.... why is she feeling these feelings?
Finally, I'd like to say my prayers to her. I hope she does well in life, and improves her standing, hopefully avoiding outbursts like this. I hope that in the future she may return, or we can find out why she left so suddenly and try to get her back. Then again, there's a saying that we should all remember, which I will bring up later. Iris, if you're reading this... please... please do... remember that you hold a place in our hearts, and we really hope we hold a place in your own.
"In all honesty, I'm really sad Risi left for good. She was one of the few people who prevented my suicide some time ago... this fills me with grief... so thanks to Risi. We will miss you! :("
