An update from me!❤️

MaiaMaia Moderator Posts: 481 Listening Ear
Hey peeps, I’m just hopping online to give you all a little update on me,

I’m currently packing my bags to head back home to good ol’ New Zealand. Sadly, That means I’m trading in my Friday threads and group chats for a bit of home, sunshine, and probably way too many cheese rolls ..I’m obsessed. You still have me for a couple of weeks though, my last shift will be 12th Feb! 😊

I just want to say a massive THANK YOU thank you for all the laughs, the deep convos, and for trusting me with your thoughts, feelings, and the general chaos of life.

You lot have been absolute champs - Your resilience, honesty, and humour have been nothing short of inspiring, and I promise to carry that with me wherever I go.

You’ve taught me so much - like how to stay strong on the tough days, how to have a giggle even when things are a bit rough, and most importantly, that a cuppa and a good chat can fix just about anything (well, almost).

Even though I’m off for now, this isn’t necessarily a forever goodbye, who knows, once I’ve got my ducks in a row (or at least in the same pond), you might catch me hanging out around these parts again :)

Until then, keep being the absolute rockstars you are. Stay kind, stay strong, stay safe and most importantly.. stay groovy!

Big love & take care,

Maia B

    Hey @Maia Im really sad to see this 😪, you've been an amazing mod, I really really have enjoyed friday support chat threads with you, you're super friendly, supportive and amazing in every single way. Im going to really miss you just like the others. You've also replied to multiple of my threads which have been amazing replies. You've been part of what's been getting me through these times along with the other amazing mods and members. I knew you were thinking about going to New Zealand but kind of forgot about it, now sad to hear that you'll be finishing off here. I feel a bit like crying, I have known you a few months but you've been amazing during all of that time, I have loved getting replies from you on my threads and loved friday support threads. It is devastating to see you leave but I truly wish the absolute best for you as its well deserved for your future in News Zealand you're obviously a wonderful person. Thank you so much for everything ❤️ and I will enjoy the last few threads with you ❤️ . I'll see you on Friday coming hopefully ❤️. Big hugs 💔. It would be great to see you return soon and who knows you might do. I wish you the best Maia regardless though ❤️.

    Maia im going to miss you tons on here. I know I haven't been as active on here as much as I normally do, but it wont be the same without you. I loved having our chats and our talks especially about surfing and capybara's too!. I even loved doing the group chats with you as well and you made me part of a lovely community. I wish you all the best in your future adventures and all the best in New Zeland. That sounds like a super long flight as well!. Your an amazing beautiful person, never forget that. <3 Also cheese rolls sound tasty, I got to say a cheese roll sounds nice right now haha I might have to go out and get some to have.
    Just a person who likes pop culture and films

    @Maia im meant to be writing an essay on functionalism in sociology right now but college work shall wait for now lol this is waaaay more important!!

    usually when people that have supported me leave, its no big deal because they're useless anyways (as im sure you know) so it doesn't matter haha but i have literally not cried as much over someone leaving since sarah left - i've quite literally cried enough to fill the river nile!! you're one of the very few people that i've been sad about leaving, and the worst part is facebook is gonna be giving me a reminder of you everytime i look at it as i cannot escape the capybara ad's lol facebook is not gonna be allowed to be opened in public places now as ill cry everytime i see the capybara ad's

    you were the first mod i met on here, you made me feel so safe and validated immediately, you're the reason i came back again - i really do appreciate every single second of your time so so much. thank you for never once dismissing or invalidating how i feel, i will always be so grateful for that. you have been one of the best supports i have EVER had - i will never ever forget you and everything you've done for me🫶🏼

    i joined sooo many chats crying and left laughing - i swear you have magic powers haha maia + chat = feeling better, it is a fact!!

    you're going to be going back home to sunshine while all our tears combined shall be flooding out the uk, maybe you'll be surfing your way to the airport as a result of the flood haha i hope your bags are waterproof😂this is gonna be you onboard your flight hehehe:

    i genuinely will miss you so so much maia, you really are such an amazing person that brings so much to this world - everyone needs a maia in their lives - i am super grateful that i happened to live in the same time as you and i wasn't born in 1864 instead lolllll

    wishing you all the luck in the world for becoming dr capybara too hehehe im sure you'll be amazing and smash it for sure maia - i really hope that life is good to you as you are SO deserving of that🩷

    here is a goodbye from buster too, he also appears shocked at you leaving and is thinking "no maia pls don't leave" hehehe:
