Hey, Anita, it's OK! I still remember the first episode you made of Malaysian Islands. We were both still kind of new-ish then. ;)

Anyway, it's totally all right to want to take a step back, breathe a little. Sometimes everything feels like it's crashing down, and you need to think for yourself for a minute. Or more than a minute... That's OK too.

So go do that, then. Make the choice for yourself. Don't feel like you're letting us down because you're leaving. We'll all certainly miss you and your amazing writing, but ultimately, you need to do what's best for you. We've all probably felt the way you're feeling right now. (I know I have.) We understand.

Nowgo relax, and enjoy yourself, girl! You deserve it. :)
