I figured it is time to answer questions and give explanations to many of you regarding my disappearance and reappearance. I ask only if you have questions for me of a personal nature that you use the PM rather than air anything in the open. I've always given that respect, I hope to receive it.
Where shall I start? I've been away nearly two years. At the time, the community was not kind to me. My thoughts and feelings had been slung about and besmirched to the point of embarrassment. I had my private life invaded by one who shall stay unnamed, but which caused me to lose my job, my house and nearly, my marriage. Because of the actions of a few, my wife gave me an ultimatum: Leave the community or she leaves me; an ultimatum that still stands today. However, I cannot continue to stay away nor can I deny who and what I am.
So, with a shattered life, I began to live as normally as possible. To my wife, I was, and still am, a vampire. So long as I keep it as private as possible, she has no qualms with that and still lets me feed. However, I have not fed properly in over a year. All I can say is that God I'm a hybrid.
Recently, I was discovered by another vampire, who happens to work with me. That gave me some cause for concern, but nothing that I can't handle. While I have been absent, I have not been ignorant to activity in the community. I've learned about a great deal of things I find disturbing, both on a local and a global level. I shall discuss these things in another post.
This time away has helped me to reflect on myself and the community. I have changed; I have noticed more maturity and an expansion of ability, thus I am looking forward to feeding well and soon.
I believe there are some that I hurt before my departure. I offer an open and humble apology to any I may have offended and hope that things will be better in the near future. There are some relationships I look forward to rekindling, and then there are those that can take their time.
Peace be unto you all,
Stefan
