A letter to my old minecraft fandom

I just saw this video now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqorbbU9jyw

And all I want to say is...

Give me one last video. A reunion. I beg you. Let me say one last goodbye to a forgotten fandom of mine. Because I can't leave with the idea still in my mind that I left because of stale content completely for money. Because I have watched all of you since 2012 and you guys made such an impact in my childhood. And when I heard all of you broke up, my heart was shattered and crushed. It felt like someone literally stabbed it.

But I tried to move on from that. And I just kept watching your content grow with a lot of new faces that sadly didn't satisfy me. I continued to watch for months just for the sake of my friends. But your humor was slowly dumbed down. And slowly I was slipping away, drifting to other interests. I stopped watching your videos and let them pile up in my subscription box. Until I eventually got annoyed and altogether unsubscribed. Hell, the last person I unsubscribed to was MunchingBrotato (anyone remember him?).

Lately, there was something at the back of my mind which kept nagging me to see you again. I felt incomplete, like there was something else I needed to do. Random thoughts about you would pop from time to time. And every time it did I felt like crying. My heart would sink and I would suddenly feel weak.

Recently, a friend who still watches some of you said that Sky had a kid, which just blew my mind. The man who hated squids and loved budder like nothing else. Yes, that man had a family. He had created another life, a whole new responsibility. With this news, I decided to check everyone else. And it makes me cry how far you've gotten.

But just please let me say a proper goodbye. Every part of me has moved on and left, except the nagging voice that won't leave. Let my conscience be cleared cause I feel like I sinned for leaving you without a goodbye. I was blinded, not thinking what this would do. But I'm in a different fandom now, yet I still can't let go. 

I miss all of you dearly, but please allow me to let go so I can be free. Like what you all did with yourselves. You set yourselves free and now your better than ever, still flourishing as time passes. Let me do the same, please.


Sincerely,

Your former fan
