sometimes quitting is good

gnatpackI haven't mentioned radio stuff too much because I don't want to say anything too identifiable. It's something fun that took up most of my summer, but now summer is coming to my end and so is my time writing for the show. It's a mixture of me being burnt out with the script, needing money and not being legally allowed to profit from the show, and just generally seeing the writing on the wall.
But here's the thing: my last show airs tomorrow. And no one knows it's going to be the last.
In a way I feel bad. Just this Thursday I was telling some people at an event about the show and how they could listen. In the meantime things have progressed from "we need to end the show eventually" to "we're ending it effective immediately". The thing is, when you know you're done... you know. All I can try to do now is end things without wasting anyone else's time.
I don't know how the people in charge are going to take it. 2/3 will probably be pretty understanding. The leader of the org tho... is kind of a dick sometimes honestly? So he could be the kind of guy to throw a huge tantrum at work when you quit, I don't know.
I'm looking forward to having a little bit of a break before classes start next month. There are things that need doing around the house, projects that need finishing, and my neocities site needs work. My life is in a kind of flux state with graduation in the spring and reworking my patreon, so it's kind of like there's a new life looming on the horizon.
In a sense things have been kind of deteriorating in the background while I prioritized the show. Which leaves me having to rebuild now. It's a net gain, because the old way wasn't really sustainable. But a lot has been changing since March and I've been too busy to realize it. It's like I opened my eyes and found out the building I was standing in has been demolished.

in the meantime
Overall I learned a lot from the radio, even if we only had 7 shows before pulling the plug. Things happened the way they needed to. I learned some new skills with scriptwriting and figured out some things for other stories I was via my work on the radio show. Funnily enough, procrastinating for writing the show also kind of helped me figure out where my priorities are.I'm looking forward to having a little bit of a break before classes start next month.
