hi! in case you were wondering, i'm not a random bot follower - i actually saw your deviantart gallery a few years back. recently went back to check on it only to discover its deactivation! but thankfully that was nothing a quick google search couldn't sol

It wasn’t anything like I was disappointed with the site or was having a bad time there. 

But I had begun to feel like the upkeep of my deviant page was more of a burden than something I could enjoy.  Eventually I experienced a period where I was exceptionally overwhelmed.  And a bunch of things just had to go.  The deviant art page being one of them.

It’s true that I could have just left it abandoned, but for me, that would have just signified something I would have had to return to.  It would have still weighed on me.  Not to mention I would have felt like something with my name on it would have then been beyond my control. 

The relief I gained from completely deactivating it was much more significant.
