Ube Erik,
I would be lying if I said I haven't been a bit concerned at your sudden vanishing. But it seems that you are ready to spread your wings and fly, and that's the best reason I can think of for moving on.
I never truly understood your lack of confidence. The young man I regularly talked with had no reason at all to feel he was a less worthwhile person than any other.
You need - you
deserve - an active life offline. I hope you find what you seek, and those things which you do not know to seek but that you need for your continued growth and development anyway.
May love and life both find you when and where you least expect, and may both delight you. At heart you have always been one of the best of us and I truly wish you a bright future.
I do, however, object to 'goodbye'. Chaos may be a little slower now it is older, but I suspect we may totter on for a while yet, and as long as there is a Chaos, you will always be welcome there. I suspect that the Larian forum will not be vanishing any time soon, either.
Say not 'goodbye', but rather 'see you around'. Because sometimes it can be good to revisit the past, even when the future is calling
Take care of yourself. Stay true to your heart. Be well.
EK
