I suppose I unofficially left this place a long time ago, but I should officially say goodbye now after all that has happened.

I believe time has come for me to bid farewell to you all. This is not a spur of the moment thing, it has needed to be done for a long time.

I wish to thank you, TED, wherever you are – when I spoke with you all those years ago it gave me the strength to finally get what I desired. Real-life friends.

I enjoyed being with you, but it is all too fragile. TED was farce. Taylor was farce. I can’t continue to be in such a fragile environment. What’s next? His Sleepiness is actually a secret agent of TED sent to track us all? I can’t have friendships under such circumstances.

You people have given me a life! I used to be split – Kanpachi was the one with friends, the one that was happy. Erin was just the girl that sat in the library with no friends. Now, however, they are one person. Kanpachi is no longer a projection of who I want to be. Erin has finally become Kanpachi.

Wow, that was cheesy.

I’m going to work hard in school and I’m going to study theology. Maybe in the future you will see a theology textbook written by Erin Burnett, haha. Someday I will have the courage to tell my parents I do not want to be Methodist, I want to be Free Presbyterian. I’m going to love my real-life friends, and soon Wayne will also become a real life friend.

Being with you all got me through the angst-y phases of adolescence, but now I know I can face the world alone. I’m not saying I no longer want you or need you: I just feel it is time for this period of my life to end.

I don’t regret starting up this reveal. It has served its purpose in revealing that the bonds between us can be broken with a single revelation, but as long as you can work at things it will work out. And for goodness’ sake stop lying, you can’t build friendship on that. I did not mean to worry anyone or make anyone hurt. What I said needed to be said.

I officially declare Operation Truth-Seekers a success. Thank you Dr Time and Wayne for helping me. I should never have involved you at all.
I am sorry to everyone for what I did.

Shane, I wish you the very best in life. You’re a nice person who deserves better than what you get. Have you ever considered trying to make an original game or story? You could hit big money that way.

KarjamP, good luck with college and whatever life throws at you.

Taylor and Co. Sure, I don’t believe you. At all. But we shouldn’t end on a sour note. If what you all say is true, I wish you the best and I just hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me someday.

On 26th February 2012 I began to open up to TED.

On 12th February 2014 I finally became able to walk alone.
 
May the Lord bless you and keep you; make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; may the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
