Goodbye from me 🩷🦆

Chloe234

Hey guys 🩷 I'm writing this with a really heavy heart but I've been thinking and I think it's my time to move on from TheMix.

I've been part of this community at the mix for about 3 years now and I've loved getting to know loads of different people as well as being able to bond and engage with the volunteers, community members and staff at the mix. Ive made so many amazing friends, and have had so many amazing experiences within this community. Wether that'd be through the small discussions here on the boards, on chatwee or through volunteering within YouthVoice. And I really felt able to shine and just generally be myself! 🩷

This community has made me grow massively as a person in confidence as well as letting my personality thrive and I am honoured to have had the chance to get to be part of this community. Recently it may have been noticed however that I have possibly not been posting, not really talking or coming to chats, or even just engaging everyday how I used to and part of it is quite literally because I've just moved on but it's also partly because the changes have been a lot and it feels like along with the changes some things aren't how they used to be and I feel that also makes me feel like it's my time to move on.

I will really miss this community 🩷🦆 and I will always remember how fun I found things like the funny chats some of us would have within the support groups, the love and acceptance everyone had for my obsession with rubber ducks, or even just the quizzes I had the pleasure of hosting for you all! (And I could keep going with this list!)

This choice hasn't been an easy one for me at all. And I wouldn't have been able to get to where I am today without any of you so thankyou 🩷 I want you to remember that you are all so strong and can get through anything. Some things may feel like they aren't gonna get any better but I believe that if you keep fighting and keep doing as well as you are now then it will get better.

I may visit or check in every once in a while but for now this is the start of my new journey and this is me saying goodbye 🦆🩷 love yall!

This is sad but at the same time it’s completely understandable because I’ve been feeling the same way.

You’ve been a massive part of this community Chloe and I feel very lucky to be able to consider you a friend. 💚

The mix will always be here if you ever need to get anything off your chest and you always know where to find me if you need a good auld chat

@Chloe234 words can't describe how I am feeling right now and a part of me felt emotional reading your message. Your such a sweet lovely person and I still remember meeting you for the first time I joined on here and on the groups too. I remember our funny convos about ducks and even creating a new auto link as well which will be one of my favourite memories. However I fully respect your choice in leaving too as I know sometimes you got to move on to your new adventure. I will always be here likewise if you ever need support or someone to talk to. I hope your doing okay right now .

Sending you a massive hug,

All the best for your new adventures and may they be amazing!
