Hello. I'll try to make this short.Due to some personal considerations for my mental health and IRL responsibilities, I'm closing down my social media presence. This decision may seem sudden, but it wasn't taken lightly either, as I have thought about this for some time.
Back then, I believed that places like Discord, Twitter (especially before "you know who"...), and Reddit, among others, were places where everyone could be together to discuss things people enjoy. Unfortunately, as I began to move into university during an important chapter in my life, they have become more of a source of distraction, discomfort, depression, and FOMO, to a point where I can’t fully concentrate on my education, old hobbies, nor even real life events or conversations in general. They have also begun to bring in bad habits, doomscrolling being one of them.
I thought about taking a break at first, but I soon realized that I would just be relapsing back to this situation. So I have decided, I’m out.I want to take this time to say I am grateful for the friends I have made over my time online during the past couple of years, including but not limited to...DirectorDexus/Jeane (https://twitter.com/JohnDexus)

and Kaisaan (https://twitter.com/KaisaanSiddiqui)Y'all are AWESOME.I also want to say I’m sorry for not being as active or interactive as I thought to be. I hope that at the very least I gave some company to some, whether that would be through voice calls, messages, or even VRchat.
Maybe our paths will cross again someday. But for now, thank you for everything and for the good times. I love you all.Sincerely,
Dalton (Tabtes)

(PS: This is unrelated to the point of the message, but I also must mention that Jeane has been dealing with housing issues and needs help with finding a permanent home. I'm going to leave a link to the fundraiser here, so please help her in any way possible. Thank you. https://gofund.me/4b6890d4)(PPS: If I do decide to come back one day, for any reason, I may start anew with a different alias… Or maybe not. :/ )
