That's It!

I've had enough... it's over ok guys... let it be in the past and stay there!

For those of you have been reading my blog, friends blogs and certain forums and making your own assumptions... here is some of my side. For goodness sake... here I was trying to make no comments in my own defence or ever thinking of attacking others, trying to keep the peace and do what is right.

I closed down the MaDscraps Forums... because I had to... for my health, my family and for my sanity. I HAD to do this for me... BUT I tried to find an alternative for people. I did not say they had to join this site, it was merely a suggestion for those who didn't know any other places! And... I also had asked the site owners permission before suggesting it. I'm not rude no matter what some people may think.

YES... I was offered help of sorts... but in the end it was me at the helm and this I could not cope with.

NO... I did not plan this when I bought the site & shop, I'm not evil, geeshe. I'm just a normal person trying to cope the best I can. If I had not bought it, or if no-one else had bought it, the site & shop was going to be closed down anyway, so there was always a possibility. It's something I didn't want to happen so I bought it! There... now you all know one of the reasons I bought it. I bought it because of loyalty, love of scrapping and the dream that I could do it all... but I couldn't.

And yet... even after the forums have been ressurected by the original owner so everyone has their community {which I think was wonderful of her to do}... I still get crap over it.

I'm a good person... trying to cope with a lot of issues and doing what I can to get on in this world... I am not some evil entity out to destroy everyone's social structure.

I hold no grudges... I'm not like that... I would hope others would do the same. It's too small a world and too short a life to be carrying on this way. I'm not sure who it is causing all the rukus... nor do I really care. People react in different ways to events and how they cope is their business... I would merely like the same respect.

Please let it be now... please let my friends alone... life is too short.

  3. Thanks girls. I do have a lot of support or at least understanding from friends IRL as well as online... for this I am blessed because it is your and their friendships that have helped me get through... that and the unfailing support of my family.
    A lot of these people don't blog surf and were only involved via forums.
    There were lots of bad reactions {on my behalf as well}, most were founded and I respected. But those people also have shown they understand... and that means the world to me.
