professor oak’s lab is now closed ...
hello, everyone! i hope this message finds you in good spirits!
it’s been almost six full years since starting this blog and it’s been a truly amazing experience seeing what a little joke could turn into, how i could push myself to add a little brightness to the community ( and accept your kindness in return ), do giveaways, and have fun engaging in writing shenanigans and more. i’ve made a lot of great memories and friends along the way, and i’ve lost some too, but what i’ve taken away from this as a whole has made it all worth it. i only wish that i could have been more active in these six years than i actually was, but sometimes life has other plans. i’ve learned a lot here; being here has helped me in terms of my own mental health, my general outlook on life, getting through some really tough milestones, and other introspective things that have proved useful in my daily life.
i’ve tried to hang on to the possibility of running this account again, but it’s time i’m honest with myself and admit that it’s run it’s course. i’d rather not burn myself out trying to outlive this blogs purpose, and i’m very sorry for that. but this isn’t a bad thing, though! it’s healthy and natural to move on to other things and see what’s in store for the future.
with that being said, i’ve decided to exist on more private rp blogs, so it’s possible you may run into me again someday, but all my appreciation is for everyone here today. i’m so thankful to everyone that’s stuck with me on this journey! and so happy that you’re all still writing and passionate about the muses that mean the most to you!
i’ve truly come to love professor oak and his memorable spirit in our time together; i hope i was able to capture his endearing presence and do him justice. i also hope that there will be many more professor oak blogs in the future, until the fandom is overrun by dozens of grandpas inviting everyone to the lab for tea.
thank you from the bottom of my heart for welcoming me here, i mean it! please be safe and well for the upcoming holiday season! enjoy your diamond and pearl remasters if you get them, as well!
good luck in all that you do, and know that when it feels like there’s no one that believes in you, that there’s at least one person that wants to see you thrive.
take care, be great, your adventure awaits!
love, professor oak & i.
:-)
