Happy birthday, Syn!

Hey Syn, happy birthday!

Haaaapapppyyyyyy biiiiirrrthhhdddaaaaaaaayyyyyy, ya awesome missionary!

You ain’t seeing this for a whole ‘nother year, but….

BIRTHDAY

Guessing that most of the people that will read this will read it in the morning ya know,, when people are supposed to be awake lolll, so.. eh, I’m not sorry.

As some of you know, I will be serving a full-time proselytizing mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints; even smaller amount of you will know that I will officially be set apart (or, officially become) a missionary on August 13th, 2023 (today for when most of y’all will read this), and begin my missionary training on August 14th, 2023 (this upcoming Monday, or tomorrow when most of y’all will read this). This means that I will be taking about 18 months of my life to serve the people in the area I have been assigned to as well as step away from things and websites such as these.

I thought about leaving without saying a word, but I then thought to at least say something before I go, even though I’m sure that most of you don’t read my status’ anyway.

Anyways, I ain’t gonna be sappy or anything like that; I just wanted to let y’all know where I’m going to be and not to really “mourn” or freak out that I’m gone or something stupid like that, ‘cause I’m not dying or anything like that. I know y’all have a tendency to do that, so I’m setting the record straight: I am leaving, but I’m leaving for what I believe and know to be a good cause. I know that not all of you share the same sentiment, but all I ask for is some understanding and respect for my decision, if you will; that’s all I’m asking.

Know that y’all aren’t alone and that there is a whole wide world beyond this website. Don’t get me wrong: I’ve met some amazing people and have had some of the best creative writing exercises here, but you can experience that in the world (if you are able, of course; not assuming that all of you are basement dwellers or something like that).

There is more out there, and you can find it anywhere: Religion, Science, Fantasy Books, Art, Television Shows, and so on; you have to be the one that takes the first step.

That’s all from me, though. God be with you all till we meet again~ <3

This past Tuesday (May 30th, 2023), I received my mission call.

I will be serving as a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Lansing, Michigan Mission for 18 months (which is about a year and a half), beginning August 14th, 2023 

For those who might not know what a missionary is or what a mission entails, it’s basically where the missionary – in this case, me – will basically put everything about my life right now (such as schooling) on hold and devote 18 months to serving God and those in the area I’ve been assigned to.

I will be doing things such as proselytizing, and also general service like helping people with yard work or other assorted activities if it’s required of me. I will not be active on any of my social media accounts (except maybe my personal Facebook that basically no one on here knows, depending on what my mission president [my boss, basically] says), including the 17th Shard even tho I’m not particularly active on here in the first place lolll.

I will be trying to keep a emailing list where I will send out emails about what I did the previous week at least once a week. If any of you want to be on that list, feel free to PM me on here (of if y’all have my Discord, do that) since I don’t want y’all to just give your personal emails on a very public website.

I’m very excited, and I also have very little time to prepare, but I know that it will be worth it.

But yeah :)) Y’all have me for a limited amount of time before I am gone for 18 months to serve the Lord.
