Sorry for Unsubscribing
And Why I Resubscribed
It's in the title, but I'm going to say it again.
I'm so sorry for unsubscribing.
A while ago, I was swamped by the sheer number of subscribed content I was reading. I simply couldn't keep up. So I unsubscribed to all but a few people.
Guess what happened?
I read barely any stories on here.
I've missed out on so many of your wonderful stories. And I want to read them again. I love your poems. I love your stories. And I want them back.
So, if it isn't too late, then I would like to be your loyal subscriber (and friend) again.
I guess I was so focused on my own Vocal Career, I forgot what I found when I first came.
Online friends.
I probably wouldn't know you if I saw you in real life. I probably wouldn't even blink if you passed me. But here, I know you by your beautiful stories that I've missed.
After a quick break (a very dark, lonely one too) I have come back to ask you for your forgiveness for unsubscribing.
And, ummmm... that's it. I don't know what else I'm supposed to write to make more words...
Ummmm... How about a poem?
Yeah... then I don't have to write four hundred more words. I feel like a succinct apology is better than a purple prose, drawn out, effusive apology.
Haha, well I have to note that you're probably going to see a notification that says "Cezanne Libellen Subscribed to you" and I don't think Vocal notifies you when you lose a subscriber, so you're just going to be like, "wtc happened I thought she was already subscribed." Well, this explains it.
Okay, with the poem... let's do this.

I found myself swamped
With endless notifications.
By hundreds of stories I was haunted
But it hurt to hit the button
Knowing I was losing friends and allies.
Knowing I would miss your stories.
But now I'm back
To find the stories I lack.

I hear you!!! And I agree with Donna Fox - it gets totally overwhelming very quickly. Once we get the ability to filter notifications I’ll be able to subscribe to more people but I get buried in notifications and miss things as is 🫣
Cezane, I completely relate to the incredible amount if available content to read on here. I’ve had to make myself a reading list so that I don’t forget or miss out on my favourite peoples creations (as I did for this one). I loved the stream of consciousness sorry of narration you had in the beginning. It was comedic and soooo relatable! Loved it! “How about a poem?” Lol 🤣 The poem was beautiful and heartfelt, nicely done!
I didn't get that notification. So maybe you didn't unsubscribe from me or you weren't even subscribed in the first place, lol! Either way, I understand how overly ot can get. Always make sure to take well deserved breaks! 💖
