It's a tough story to read.
I feel your anguish as if it were my own.
We've been sharing a common path for what seems like a long time, and I never imagined that your stopping point would be before mine. I understand your reasons and there's no need to explain further.
You've built a beautiful project here. I remember reading your interview, I believe on the HSBI website, where I learned about your previous attempt to found a community on another network.
Being here is proof of your resilience, and we know (with certainty) of your ability to reemerge as a person and a professional. It's just a matter of giving it the time it takes.
I hope you can face the possibility of a break.
Without a promise or a commitment, just the possibility of your return.
I intend to stay here until then!
It came on suddenly for me as well. Literally a few days ago I was discussing the future of the community.
I don't think it's meant to be at this time, at least not with my continued involvement. Maybe it can thrive on its own accord. We'll see. I'll give it a week's time.
You're among the most dedicated people I've come across, and I'm eternally grateful for what you've done for the community. 🙏
