You guys might be wondering why I'm leaving, or maybe you're not, or maybe you already know somehow. I don't know, nor do I care. I'm leaving for a lot of reasons like school, having a life now and going to the gym instead of spending all my time online. Those are all good reasons but they're not the main reason, the main reason is that I'm old now. I have a life now, I have new friends, good grades, and I somehow even have a girlfriend. I'm 16, I joined when I was 9, 7 years ago. I rejoined and came back multiple times and there was a point in my life when the mil felt like the most important thing in my life. I was in a really bad place, I was depressed and I felt like the people in the mil were my only friends in the world. When I finally started feeling better I stayed to honor the person I used to be and mostly to stay connected with everyone who had helped me. But they're all gone now, they all left. So the only reason I'm staying is for the child I used to be. But it's time to let that child die, to let that version of me I'm still desperately holding on to go away. However, it is time for me to finally accept that the person I used to be is gone, killed by age and the wisdom that comes with it. The mil was a huge part of my childhood but childhood must end eventually. As a child grows up and matures they must leave their childhood behind, so too must I now leave this last piece of who I used to be behind. I'm old now, I have a whole new set of friends and basically a whole new personality. I am a different person than I was when I joined. I'm too old to stay on here, reminiscing about the good old days when I was young. I'll have plenty of time to reminisce when I'm actually old. Thank you to everyone who has been my friend over these long years, your friendship has meant more to me than you will ever know. Thank you to the mil and @KIKOKO_ for creating this amazing game and community that was such a fundamental part of my childhood. Just adding something new, a final thought that no one will probably ever see, one of my favorite quotes, shown at the end of the Minecraft end poem. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” I am trying to live my life with this quote in mind and I hope you do as well. Just a final thought I decided to add. Now its time for some personal messages, goodbyes and thank you's to some of my closest friends If I forgot you please yell at me and I'll make one for you Misa, of course you're first, you have to be first, why wouldn't you be first. You were a good friend and a good leader, you had the courage and strength to do what I never could have. You finally put the mil to rest, and that takes more bravery and strength of will than I ever could have conjured up. You were always there for the mil and for me. I'll miss serving in the mil with you and getting to talk to you every day. Good luck in life, I hope things turn out well for you Hamzazouk you were a loyal soldier, a good friend and a good vice president. I'm sorry about how much you lost by in the final election but it was kinda funny. It was good getting to know you over the years and I'll miss having you around to talk to. Have a good life buddy. The Mandalorian, it was always good to talk to you, make jokes or talk about the old days. But I loved making random Mandalorian quotes to you and talking about the show. I know there's more to what we talked about but I'm writing this at like 6 in the morning and I'm really tired and I can't remember a lot of stuff. I'm sorry for that. Thanks for being my friend and always being there to talk about Star Wars. Keep following the way and you'll never go wrong. I wish you the best, I hope your life turns out well. This is the way rainy Rainy I'm sorry but I forgot a lot about what we talked about or how we interacted. I do remember you were kind and smart, I looked up to you when you were a high ranking officer in the mil. I always feel an odd sense of joy every time I see you comment on the mil, it's always good to talk to you. Thanks for being my friend and I hope everything in your life turns out the way you hoped it would Again I'm writing this at 6am and my memory isn't the best right now. You were a good friend and I always liked talking to you and making jokes. You remembered a lot of mil history better than I did, you were almost always there for the mil and to talk. Thank you for being my friend. I hope life is kind enough to lead you to true everlasting happiness and contentment. I continue the goodbyes in the next section below the other messages
I know I've left a lot of times and I've come back every time but now I'm leaving for the last time. You may be wondering what makes this time different, or you may not be, you may not even care. What makes this time different is that there is no mil to come back to. Every time I've left I've come back and rejoined the mil because it was still around. This time there's no mil to come back to. Why was I genuinely crying as I wrote this? It's not that sad. Okay maybe it is that sad, the mil was a huge part of my life and I made a lot of friends here. Thanks to everyone who was my friend here, it means more to me than you will ever know, I will never forget you. I love you all. Personal messages cont @THE_MEEP111 Meep, I don't know what I can say to you that I haven't already said. You are really smart dude, you understand the coding stuff for Day of RD that I can't even begin to fathom. You are such a great natural leader. Even though the first Day of RD may have failed, it showed how great of a leader you are, you got so many people involved and so many people to join, even if they didn't precipitate, they still followed you. You were way too hard on yourself after the failure and you need to learn how to stop being so hard on yourself because it's not healthy. You have done more for the community in a few months than I did in my 6 or 7 years. I hope that it's easier for you to leave than it is for me. Good luck in life, I hope you are happy with where your life takes you. @StormTrooper431 Storm, you old man. Ima be honest I liked and hated you. I was naive enough to believe the majority of your lies. You were very well spoken though, convincing and smart. I looked up to you as a mentor and I learned a lot from you. Back in Black is still one of my favorite songs and I loved Troopers Bar and Grill as well as Troopers Digital Radio. I used to sit there and listen to the songs as I played RD. Good times. I hope you are happy and I hope that you live a good life @mtf2009 MTF, dude. I don't even know what to say. You were a great leader and really smart. You led the Mil well for a long time. I'm glad to have you as one of my friends and I promise I'll play Fortnite with you when I have time. I'm really sorry I didn't say more about you here but I think most of what I want to say has already been said. Thanks for inviting me to the retirement home. I wish you the best. Green Ah Green, my old friend. You will never see this. That is a fact, you have been dead for years. I was so loyal to you when I was younger, I started a whole rebellion for you. Do you remember that? Why am I even asking that, I know you'll never be here to answer it. If you did come back today, you probably wouldn't even remember me but I'll always remember you. You were a good friend and I looked up to you as a mentor. Wherever you are, I hope you are happy. @73Bubble111 And finally Bubble. I thought about putting Green last, because of how loyal I was to him and how good of a friend he was to me, but when I finally sat down to write this, I realized you mean more to me than Green. You were a better president and a better friend. "Heroes get remembered but legends never die. Follow your heart, kid, and you'll never go wrong" Bubble you were both a hero and a legend to me, you will be remembered, especially by me, and even though you left scratch and "died," you will never be dead because every time I write or do anything related to the mil, your memory will live on in me. Especially when I'm doing anything related to leadership because you were the best, most natural leader I have ever seen, both online and irl. I hope you follow your heart because for you more than most people, it will never lead you wrong. You are smart, kind, funny and well spoken, and you love playing Zelda. You were there for me as a friend, mentor and leader when I was in a really bad time, you helped me more than you know without knowing you were helping. Thanks for everything. But Bubble, you need not be remembered, for you are never forgotten. I hope things go well for you, I hope you live a long, happy and successful life. I'll never forget you, thanks for everything. This is merule9 signing off, for the last time
