Oops, I made 100 stories.

So I wrote a hundred stories on Vocal.

But don't start your applause yet.

I completely forgot that I did. And also I reuploaded one of my other stories because absolutely no one read it and it was left behind in the dust. So technically, THIS is my hundredth story on Vocal.

I don't really have much to say, quite honestly. I have found an illustrator for my future Minecraft (unassociated) children's book series that I am currently working on. I have two more friends than I did last week. Rob Angeli has been absolutely the most supportive person ever on Vocal, even posting a story promoting my Shadows and I. I've won Runner-Up once because of my unique story "Child from the Past." I've gotten six Top Stories, I think, two of them being stories from my MGTGD series, which I promise will be making a comeback soon-- it's just so hard to get back into!

Uh. Other than that, I haven't really done anything significant.

I think my longest story is "Home - 2" or "This Home of Mine," by word count. My shortest story is definitely one of my haikus.

Oh, and on November 8th, I will have to renew Vocal+.

...But I'm actually not too sure I want to do that.

I'm not going to join any of the Challenges. If it's something I directly have to make up a story for, then... I'm passing. I don't need to earn money from Vocal, and I already don't anyway. I think I earned like 35 bucks in a year of Vocal. I'm not allowed on social media sites, so I can't promote myself on Vocal ever. Top Stories are completely by chance for me. Vocal+ is nice... but it has absolutely zero benefits for me.

I'm not paying.

(I don't have that kind of money.)

Um... I'm kind of just trying to fill the spaces here with extra words, y'know? Heh...

Well...

I might be leaving Vocal soon, actually, to be honest. I don't have a lot to do on here. Upon confirming the one submission that I should have to my Personify Shadows Challenge, I think I'm ready to leave.

I've liked Vocal. Liked.

Since this will probably be one of my last few writings on here (I still have to finish MGTGD parts 1, 2, and 3, so that will be a while!), I'll admit a few things. I have not entirely enjoyed my time on Vocal.

I don't support LGBTQ. I don't support abortion. I don't support atheism or polytheism.

Vocal threw these things in my face whenever it had the chance. A Pride community was the first thing I saw when I signed on here. Rudeness and bullying have been everywhere since I first came here.

LISTEN to me before you get mad.

I still love you all. You are fantastic writers, and you should continue what you do. Do not take any of this the wrong way.

But I'm going to leave Vocal because this isn't healthy for me. Is it exposure to the "real world?" Maybe. Am I not "tolerating other people?" No. I'm leaving when I finish MGTGD parts 1, 2, and 3 because being around this stuff has influenced my life. I feel down more often now thinking about the way of the world.

And I was insulted several times in many of the Top Stories. Calling Republicans a "pack of ravaging dogs" does not exactly make me feel good about myself, now does it? Think before you speak, please. Remember those posters in your elementary teacher's classroom? T.H.I.N.K.?

I don't hate any of you. Hate is a sin. But so is surrounding myself with this mess. It's going to influence me if I stay here any longer than I need to.

...There. I've finally settled it.

Now if you want to argue with me, just don't.

I'm only in ninth grade.

After this, I won't be posting any more stories on my worldview, my Christian faith, or any haikus or free-verse. All I will be posting is the last few parts of MGTGD. In a way, this is kind of like my goodbye, although it's rather early if you ask me.

This is it. Now you know me. Now you're all mad at me, too. And now you all don't like me anymore

...But that's OK.

I hope you all do well. I will pray for you. This is my (technically) 100th story. I don't hate any of you.

Ciao.

(…uh, yeah nah i’m not leaving. i’m just gonna chill out from constant storytelling. but yeah! this story doesn’t belong here anymore! hoorayyyyy)
