Bea, it has just come to my attention that you are leaving. I want to leave you with a thank you note while I can. (I know, a whole lot of cringe ahead... )

We met on Live Chat. You, the cheery challenger (*smiles) and me, the laid back childish I-don't- know-what. It was fun chatting with someone who, unbeknownst to me at the time, would turn my vision right-side up. I could practically hear your voice, even when we never video called until months later.

When I had my outburst and showed my inner me, you didn't judge, like my classmates did. You didn't judge the fact that I hung out with children and teenagers either younger than me, or older. Even when I felt myself shouting in your faces, imagining bewilderment and anger, ready to fire back at me. You didn't judge me when, during our call, one of my classmates called us lesbian. ( And I'm not. I have nothing against, I just hope to be single. ) But you were one of the people who knew me best then, and supported me until I left for high school applications.

Our fights about oblivion, don't you remember? They were fun, though you obviously had more debate experience than me. I don't care. I was honestly mad when I lost, but not mad at you. Mad at my own self for not smarting myself up, if that is a thing. It isn't your fault, just my own habit when I lose. But it was a victory for the happiness campaign in my mind. ( Would you mind bringing Keefe here? )

I want you to know that when I come back, or if I do, I will miss you as much as I miss everyone else who left, either temporarily or permanently. Sage, Ella, Eliza, Chloe, you name it. So while I'm here, I do hope to see you again, even if it is the last time on this wiki.

This isn't a goodbye letter in my heart. This is a thank you letter. For everything you've made me become. Not a youngster shrinking in the corner, but a teenager, growing up, making new friends, and most importantly, learning to be confidant. Thank you Bea.
