An open letter to twitter....

The following is a message from the human that animates me. I'm turning the blog over to her as of this second..*grins and steps back*

Hi, I'm the human behind Sun. My name is Donna. I'd like to address the drama that seems to have consumed twitter.

I don't know about you, but I come to twitter RP to have fun and escape the drama of real life for a few minutes, hours, whatever. It seems to me that recently the drama has just become childish and ridiculous.

If you don't like someone, don't follow them. If you hate everything they say, don't respond to them. Twitter has been kind enough to offer us the option of blocking people that annoy, harass or otherwise fuck up our days and nights. I for one am using that option more and more.

I've come to realize that if you respond to someone's negativity towards you on stream, it just keeps the vicious cycle of drama going. So I've stopped responding. You will not get me to yell at you. If you're trying to create drama in my life as Sun, you're wasting your time. I have no use for it. I couldn't care less if I have ONE follower or a million. Those numbers do not define me or my character's RP. That should be evident in the almost 600 tweeters I removed or blocked when I returned.

If I follow you, it's because you interest me or you requested to follow me and have caused me no drama. I feel honored each time someone wishes to read what I write and would hope that they find enjoyment in it. But if they don't and wish to unfollow me, then that's perfectly fine.

My real life has more than enough chaos and drama to sustain me for an eternity. I do not need nor want it in my RP. So as I said, I choose to not respond to it. There will be those that call me weak and stupid for doing so, but frankly I couldn't care less what they think of me. I'm not here to please them. I'm here to have fun and be creative.

It's my RP, no one else's, so no one else has a say so in what I do as Sun, except for those I RP with on a nightly basis. I made changes to the character when I returned so that I could have a fresh start. I'm having fun with her again and hope it continues.

So if you think that saying rude or untrue things about me is going to upset me or hurt me, you're wrong. I honestly don't care what you say, you don't determine my self-worth as Sun or Donna. I am the only one that can do that. I can't stop the drama llamas from doing what they do, but I can choose to not acknowledge or participate in it.

For those that have been kind and been a friend through it all, thank you. I look forward to interacting with you more in the future.

Now I'll take my rightful place back behind Sun and let her have fun in her undeath.

Donna, the human that animates Sun
