It's very strong of you to make this post. You could have just as easily kept it away from us. It might take you a while but I have a feeling you are gonna be just fine. Thank you for being you Krysyy.

No Pity from me, and you know why? It's life but hes right it could've been YEARS and then things would've been harder. It's still going to be difficult but you seem to be a strong one. Don't know you very well but You got this. Things will be better again. Thats why there's no pity. You'll make it through this small set back!

Just remember everyone has setbacks just in many different ways. Keep up the semi-good spirit and I hope to see ya around EMC some more!! Keep your head high and stay humble.

The following is very personal. I ask that if you have something indecent or rude to say, just don't say it. I am making myself very vulnerable in this post and deflecting personal attacks isn't in my arsenal today. It's also written with very little editing, so it may ramble at times.

Without further delay...

Where's Krysyy? This isn't some new game like 'Where's Waldo?'. It's a question that may or may not have been on some of your minds lately. In all honesty, it's been on mine too. Let's back up a bit and explain some background here.

You may or may not know me. I hope that I've at least managed to say hi to you at least once while you've been on EMC, unless you are brand new. I'm the Community Manager for EMC and have been for quite a few years now. I'm a tad too lazy to partake in that math at the moment, so let's just say a 'few' years. I've seen pretty much all you can see on EMC, when it comes to staff-related incidents, player shop ownership, and even starting an outpost. Of course, I don't handle a shop or an outpost these days, but the point stands. I've been a part of EMC since early 2012. I was introduced to it by a man who you all have come to know as 'Moose', or ignoramoose if you go by his full in-game name. We started playing together, we were staff together, then senior staff...then Moose didn't play anymore. He got busy and tied up with work all the time. So it was just me, with Moose every now and then. He'd still pipe in with contest ideas and act as a sounding board for promo items, etc. He was very much a part of the behind the scenes, until now.

Moose and I have decided to go our separate ways. (Okay, that's a little vague and completely inaccurate.) Moose and I are getting a divorce after only 2.5 years of marriage and almost 7 years overall, and while I'm okay with it, I didn't make the decision. Didn't see that coming? Neither did I, though I should have. So what made me okay with sharing this with you all? Simply put, I was reminded that you all are my EMC family. My irl family has gone leaps and bounds to make the transition easier. Meanwhile, I've been hiding from my EMC family and I feel ashamed for doing so. Before you start with any pity parties, know that I'm okay. I'm living with a roof over my head and I'll stand on my own two feet again soon. I just got a rug pulled out from under me, so I've gotta first get back up before I can 'learn to walk again'. I'm going to do my best to stop being absent on EMC, and actually be here again, mentally and physically. I told Senior Staff earlier this week, and Moderators/Developers today. By having you all know, I feel comfortable being on here without feeling like I'm deceiving you all. So that's the reason for this post.

Know that I don't hate Moose. What happened was a change in who we are at our very cores. As he put it, we very likely could have stayed together, though it would have been out of sheer stubbornness and led to the same result further on down the road. What we want out of life changed, and didn't add up. While he made the call, he and I are very much on speaking terms. I'm keeping our big fluffballs (dogs) and he's keeping the miniature fluffballs (cats). I've been moving items and today I packed up what remains of the life I was so focused on building, that I didn't notice the foundation start to crumble. While it seems like my life has hit a giant pothole, I know I'll be okay. Being active on EMC is a part of that recovery process, as well as being open with all of you as to my recent absence.

When I posted the contest for 'Life Changes', I never imagined that my life would be undergoing one of the toughest changes yet. I know that I have plenty more changes ahead of me and I know that I'll be better as a result of every challenge in my way.

Oh, and before anyone asks about the residences, etc that Moose and I built, Moose has relinquished all we built together on EMC to me. So look at it this way, at least I got full ownership of our 2 original dragon eggs out of the divorce. (it's a joke, I can be funny while serious) I'll look more into what exactly was happening with his event residence and whatnot, as well as assess the changing of any ownerships officially when I have my main computer on hand (currently on laptop).

So there you have it. I'm okay, he's okay, and we're both going to be better off in the long run. The short run just sucks and the uncertainty of my future is a very real feeling. I do know that it will continue to have EMC in it, so I'm glad for that. It's high time I stop hiding and start being an active part of this amazing server again.

Sincerely,
Krysyy

Thanks for sharing

As I said in mod chat, you've always been here for anyone who needed it and you will always get the same in return. You may manage the community but you are still part of it and we take care of our own. I don't know you personally but I feel like you are a strong person and you'll make it through this stronger.

AceofAlice · Oct 1, 2018

i wish you all the best, and hope both of you find happiness again after this

I'm sorry to read that. It brings double portion of sadness to me. My hope was that it would work out and that you would soon have a baby - and that a fresh dose of maternal instincts combined with the "promotion to older sibling" would do good to EMC. Well, where I live they say "first, it will turn out different, and second, than you think it will." (Erstens kommt es anders - und zweitens als man denkt.)
Keep your head high and stay humble and kind.
I wish you all the best!
