I know where you are at right now. I attempted and contemplated leaving this "world" as well I think sometime in 2001-- and that was even before Joshtin came up. You are probably older than me, but I am a Junior in High School and I am still a fan. I've liked them since sixth grade. The time/moment in my life when I am supposed to grow up and "ditch them" will be after I graduate in 2004. But you see, they make me happy, and people that are fans of them and the Closet make me happy. So why would you give up something that makes you happy? So, say I did want to move on after graduation... there's one problem. They are going to be touring that summer. There's people that are like 34 that are fans that are ashamed so why should we let it affect us? If YOU want to leave because you don't have a thing for it anymore, it no longer makes you happy or makes you squeel like a little girl, then fine. But don't do it for someone else or because of what other people think. I learned that. I made it two weeks without all this, without writing and without them and it was horrible. I'm not changing for someone else. And think about this... how many people fell in love with those boys because of you? Baby Blue, Chasez Lake? they are like classics and they aren't even finished yet! And Stop The Presses... amazing. Your needed in here... there's a lot of people who write Joshtin... but there's not a lot of people who WRITE joshtin. I just think this "fandom" or "the closet" or w/e is going to be seriously set back and missing a key component if you leave.

Not worth it.
