Hi, everybody. I already posted this in the “everything” topic, but since I have conversed with so many of you here, I wanted to also take a moment to post the same thing where I have so often frequented this forum.

I think it’s healthy to separate myself from Once Upon A Time, and yes, even from my admiration of Colin O’Donoghue. Sadly, much as it hurts me to say so, I don’t think he appreciates much as we do him. While other cast members have been warm and gracious in recent weeks, Colin didn’t even so much as say thanks to his fans last night, some of who until their fingers were numb to help nominate him to win something notable as a “People’s Choice” award. He didn’t win, but the nomination itself, was an honor. I was disappointed, deflated, disillusioned, and hurt to see this, and so many people taken for granted, and nobody out there wants to call a “duck” a “duck” to highlight something so hurtful.

While thinking about this, I realized that here I am, a happily married woman, who has prospects of becoming a mother to a wonderful daughter, and yet I’m here putting so much personal importance upon an ingratious Hollywood actor like a teenage schoolgirl. That opened my eyes, and brought me to do some thinking. God has really blessed us. I am grateful for what He has done. Here we are with a beautiful baby girl, and so much favor. Amid all that, I have allowed my appreciation for a fictional program to take up too much space in my heart. Once Upon A Time has become waaaaay too important to me. This isn’t fair to my husband, it’s not fair to my daughter, and it’s not fair to me. For the sake of my relationship with God, for the sake of my appreciation for what God has given me and for my family, I will be leaving this page. It is for these reasons, in addition to others which I have decided to do this. If true that Hook will be killed off in episode 15 as a twitter post suggested, then I would rather protect my feelings by getting out now, rather than later, anyway. I appreciate all of you, and want all of you to know God loves you. I want you all to be wonderfully blessed. This will probably be my last post here, folks. I hope the best for each and every one of you. God bless.
