After WA Commendation, What Next? Moving Towards #Kalosia100

First of all, thank you everyone who supported the passing of SC Resolution 494! Special thanks as well to Millenhaal and Todlichebujoku for their efforts in drafting the piece.

The past year or so has been a bit challenging in regards to my presence on NationStates. As I grow and change as a person, I have been questioning what kind of role NS will play in my life moving forward or even whether NS will have a role at all in my future. Life comes at us hard and fast, and with the crossroads I stand at, it's clear I won't be able to spend as much time building my RPs as I have been able to in my teenage years and early 20s.

That said, this isn't goodbye. Rather, as I continue to navigate uncertainty and ease myself into new opportunities in life, I feel the need to be responsible for the narrative I build with Kalosia. I need to provide answers as to why things have become the way they are. And I need to do a bit of cleanup.

Another thing is that the IC 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Republic of Kalosia is right around the corner, and I think this is something worth celebrating. In the buildup to the momentous day, I plan to put together a few things to look back on my time so far on this site and perhaps partake in a bit of worldbuilding, filling the gaps on things I have left unaddressed over the years. I am still in the ideation phase of this but items on the table include a recap of all my WV/WHF entries, immortalizing the nation's history on IIwiki, etc. I have 11 months left, so I suppose we will see how things unfold.

I would also like to express my gratitude for the friendships I have built during my time here, particularly surrounding the community now known as the IBA. Through our many ups and downs, you guys are ultimately the reason I feel compelled to stay. Here's to many more years of amity!

Once again, thank you for the support throughout my time here and I hope we can look forward to seeing what I will prepare to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Kalosian Republic.

Cheers,
Kalosia
