Firstly I have to officially announce (for all of those who don't know it yet) that I'm leaving this site, at least partially.
The thing is -have あなた ever thought of how much time ファンポップ consumes for あなた each day?
If あなた write private messages to people, on message can, on average, take anywhere between 10 分 to an infinity to write and send, longer ones take as much as 40 分 または even and hour.
ファン clubs, if あなた コメント on each picture, video, whatever your フレンズ post in your club/clubs, if あなた also check your friend's personal クラブ and クラブ of your お気に入り celebrities, 映画 etc each 日 it, honestly can take as much as a few hours to get it all done in one day.
Posting, walls, if あなた deal with all the ウォール posts あなた receive and post a polite amount of them on other people's walls, it can also take quite a while depending on your account and what ウォール posts do あなた use (write each one individually または just copy and paste something popular). The same goes with adding content like pictures, polls, 動画 and other things in clubs, which, depending on how slow and glitchy your computer and internet is, can take quite a while to upload.
I don't know about you, only あなた can calculate your average time on fanpop, but for me, it can take as much as 4 hours per day, and even then I don't do EVERYTHING I'm supposed to do,
No, I'm not judging あなた for wasting time, I 愛 things あなた post for me and stuff. But.
As corona mess started I get barely 2-3 days per week of being ホーム alone, it's not enough to do everything here, I also have to cook my own meals, clean the apartment, wash dishes, practice musical instruments, make DIYs for orders and gifts.
Naturally I prefer sites like Pinterest and Instagram where I can be online how often I want, for how long I want and do as much as I want, instead of spending a certain amount of hours nonstop there each day.
That's what the concept of ファンポップ is, years 前 I loved it, now it honestly makes me tired.
I get up before dawn each of my alone days, cook and eat in a rush, while multitasking and constantly lack time for doing my hobbies, developing my creative skills and working on other things. Additionally pain and muscle tensions in my neck and right shoulder have become a 秒 nature due to long hours of typing behind the laptop. I get sleepless nights of overthinking to make a schedule for the following 日 to plan each 分 and 秒 to fit in all I have to do that day.
This site is honestly the most time consuming thing I have ever seen on internet (except gaming addiction of course, which I luckily got rid of at the age of 11). It feels like a full-time job instead of being fun and entertainment (which I think is the main function of social media).
So, I have made my decision to leave this site, at least partially, yes, I'll miss my forums, clubs, DIY update articles, but what's the point in publishing them if I lack time for actually MAKING DIYs that way?
But, as I truly 愛 all of you, and unlike club stuff, I would never sacrifice the lovely friendships I have got here, I'll keep responding to private messages, and for those who use other sites like Pinterest and Insta, we will definitely stay in tough there as I'm もっと見る active in such fun places now.
So don't worry, write me a message any time and I'll respond within a week, I promise <3 Also あなた can let me know of other social media あなた use and your other contact info if you're thinking of staying in touch with me through other ways.
I am much less active here (as many of あなた might have had noticed) during the 最近 weeks and I can already feel benefits, today I actually got up so late it wasn't even completely dark outside anymore! And I didn't have to use a flashlight to find パン and coffee in my キッチン while still being half-asleep, instead I felt rested, full of energy (what a positive change) and peacefully sipped on my coffee while watching beautiful dawn behind the window and observing how my キッチン fills with beautifully yellow rays of sunshine. It's so wonderful to have an Instagram account where あなた can share stuff あなた 愛 with nice people without feeling duty to deal with 3 hours of work on comment, post and message buildup every day, instead I get relaxing live chats of short quick messages, that I can come online to continue または leave when I feel like.
I have made 7 small dreamcathcers for クリスマス gifts this week due to having もっと見る free time in the afternoons to make DIYs without any rush. I can cook lunch with both of my hands, instead of cutting vegetables with one hard while typing with the other and doing 3 additional tasks. I even opened a "Word" file of a story I began to write a while 前 but left due to lack of time, and now I'm determined to continue 書く it.
And to be honest, I would have to leave ファンポップ anyway, if I didn't leave now, I would 100% surely leave it in spring, when I get my high school diploma, because I can't imagine myself combining such Fanpopping routine with getting a job, studying, and living a real life I dream of starting to live after graduating. Better leave earlier so I have time to rest and develop me interests and things I want to do.
Anyway, enough explaining, Bye Fanpop, these were amazing 4 years that changed my life and gave me some lovely people that will be dear フレンズ of mine for, as I hope, many, many もっと見る years.
I might still check stuff here from time to time when I really happen to have nothing else to do, but other than that, messages only and see ya in some other place and time. <3
