Whoa! Who died, man? Lol

Holy poop! I'm overwhelmed by all the support! You guys are amazing! I knew there was positivity hiding around here somewhere!

Thank you all for the pre-death eulogy, but after having turned off my notifications and just logging my food/exercise yesterday, I am popping in for a quick sec to clarify something...

I'M NOT GONE FOR GOOD (you called it, Hangry). No individuals are at fault, so stop thinking "is it me?", goofballs lol.

Here's the clarification: "it's not you; it's me, baby" ...it's true. I was able to handle and defend the battles for awhile, but they added up over the past month or two and I just got fatigued.

I need to take a break for a little while to get my happy back up and re-balance. I'm 99% drama-free (🇨🇭) in my life, but I've just eaten all the popcorn I can handle here for now.

I'm gonna keep up with my workouts and diet and I'll return soon - the same ol' silly me. I didn't wanna make this a dramatic scene and I'm blown away by the turnout of support and super-dooper encouraging comments (no, DP, I'm not gonna cry).


HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART.


Seeing even the new kids' comments yesterday (as well as the testimonials from the senior staff members) reminded me - and hopefully all of us - how the kindness and welcoming atmosphere was what made and STILL MAKES this such a great community!

We each have it within us to be great! I'm just hoping we can begin to, once again, look beyond our differences and conflicts and get back to acknowledging how another's situation is much like our own is/was and help and support one another once again and be the warm group of friends we once were without the prevalent, extreme tribalism.

A tall order... a pipedream, perhaps. But, it starts with a choice. Again, each of us has the potential to be hurtful or kind. Step back from a heated argument for a moment and consider others, ask yourself if it's on-topic with the original post, is it supportive, and also how the spectators may view some of the remarks.

It's not a matter of winning or being right; it's a matter of respect and understanding.

I sound like a bleeding-heart, so Imma call it good right here. I do care for you all (against LZ and Diablo's advice 😜).

Stay civil and keto-/carbo-/carnivore-/carry on, folks! 🙌
