As the title implies, I have decided to step down as a Gaehive manager. This studio will always be special to me but a lot has unexpectedly changed since I was promoted. A lot has happened into my personal life as of recent which I won’t get into here. This was the final nail in the coffin for a lack of better words. These events were things that I had anticipated for a while, though with them happening in such rapid succession they have been taking up most of my time and energy to adapt to. That didn’t leave much room in my schedule for the Gaehive. I have just found myself spending less time on the internet in general as well. This year alone I’ve made friends with a bunch of new people that accept me for who I am, cringe personality, imperfections and all of that. I also have started revisiting old hobbies to unwind. This made it so the internet isn’t the only place where I feel like I can be myself which has improved my mental health by a lot. Not to mention how I’ve being paying more attention to my grades and education. I enjoyed my time in the Gaehive greatly. It was the first community I came across where I felt I could truly be myself and be accepted. I never would have been so comfortable and happy to be myself not what others expected of me if I didn’t find this studio. I am incredibly grateful for all the experiences that I have had and all the friends I have made along the way. You all will always have a special place in my heart. Of course, if you ever want to talk I will still be semi-active offsite. Thank you for all the good times, for the highs and lows, for the times I’ve smiled at my phone like a dork. I will miss this studio a lot.
“We have so much left to sing / There's a storm for every spring / All you see and you and me / Became from a star.” - Spring and a Storm, Tally Hall “So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing / Thanks for all the joy they're bringing / Who can live without it? I ask in all honesty / What would life be? / Without a song or a dance, what are we? / So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me.” - Thank You for the Music, ABBA
