I'm on a semi-mental health break. If you wish to speak to me for whatever reason, you can contact me on my message wall, or on other wikis I edit, and I will hear you out. This does not mean I have quit editing this wiki entirely. I may edit occasionally but this site is not a priority for me anymore and I have moved onto other things.

When I first began editing the site in 2009 (back when it was on Wikicities), it was a hot mess and I poured thousands and thousands of hours, blood and sweat during my free time as a high schooler. I wasn't even 15 years old when I began editing and taking on a big project. The wiki was a lot more vandalized back then so I was the one cleaning up stuff like this. I became the teenage main manager because no one else wanted to and others had left, and I had a huge love for the Silent Hill series. The wiki was one of the few places in my life where I felt people valued me and what I had to say, even if it was a virtual place. I made some lifelong friends here and we've had fun. Eventually, it became draining and tiring, and I learned that no matter how many more hundreds of hours I spent trying to improve it, some people will always dislike it, something I didn't fully understand at the time, or perhaps more accurately, didn't want to understand. Another mistake I made was tying my self-esteem to the wiki too much, so any insult towards the wiki, I felt was an insult towards me since I was the main manager and the biggest contributor. A lot of people take wikis for granted, not knowing the amount of effort and hard work that goes into building them.

If you're a certain friend of mine and happen to be reading this, I forgive you and I hope you forgive me after June 2018. My account was hacked and that's why we lost contact after the website transfer. We're still friends in my heart and I hope we can be again in the future.

If you just want to accuse me of things I am not, of things I didn't do, twist what I say or have said by deleting context, put words in my mouth, blatantly lie about me, or send me rape/death threats, then please don't.
