Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
I quit back in 2016 because Smogon was taking its toll on my mental health; some of it was my fault because I was such a weird person. Then after I came back, I retired again b/c I just lost passion in it.
Now, work is so busy that even if I re-lit the fire into Smogon, I would not have even close to enough time to return. I also have a house and a boyfriend, which complicates things even more.
