[lifepress] An Interesting Turn of Events

[Carlos Killpack]

In the last week and a half I've had a number of experiences, none of which have been negative in any way, that have lead me to make what is really a very difficult decision. Before all of this happened I was happy and relatively in touch with myself; I am a Psych major but I, apparently, acted much more like a CS major than anything else. I thought that I wanted to do research or help people, or something. What I came to realize after one of the most amazingly positive experiences of my life is that all I really want to do is help people and make a meaningful and positive difference in peoples lives. The day after, I met my soul-mate (yes, I realize how cheesy and implausible that sounds but I really can't really explain.) and I don't know if its really part of this decision but I've come to realize that the only thing, the only thing that matters is the people you love and your interactions with them; nothing else really matters at all except where it makes being with these people possible.

Because of this realization I've decided that I am going to remove most, if not all, of my internet presence, which is pretty strong, my name, Carlos Killpack, will get you 10 pages of google results (all me), except where being connected to the internet helps me stay connected to the people I know and love. This means that I will no longer be able to contribute to Lifepress. However, I will be leaving you in the very capable hands of Carsten (I've given him full admin access everywhere) so everything should move along smoothly.

I'm sorry if I don't sound fully rational but I assure you, I am. I'm doing all of this simply because it is what I feel needs to be done. I honestly hope that Lifepress makes it. Its a great idea and part of me is sorry that I wont be a part of it but I'm afraid that its impossible for me to do so and still feel like I am living my life in the way I feel I should be.
