Yeah, I've had the Rini Ikataru name since 2005. Everyone knew me as it, or my original account's name and I just was tired of all the stuff that was tied to my name.

cool name but a rosa by any other name is still a rose (yes I know its cliche but they work) 3nodding  

[purpleravenhawk]

Awww! 4laugh

Yes, it's cliche, but it says it quite nicely.

You are still you, no matter how many times you change your name.
(even if I don't know it's you - LOL)  

[Rinioa]

Yes, I know that. wink But, it makes me feel less connected to my profile shop. It dominated my life, it was as if I was "Rini Ikataru" the profile maker and nothing more. Too many people cared about being my friend simply for the fact that they -THOUGHT- they'd get free stuff from it. (Since I am known for giving random gifts quite often, and my close-close friends free profiles) ...It came down to a point where I didn't even enjoy being online because I didn't know who really cared about ME and who simply cared about what I had to provide for them.

After closing the profile shop, I lost about half the friends on my friendslist. Guess that alone proved who really didn't like me for me, eh? xD Well, then I changed my name as sort of a personal disconnection from what I used to be.

If that made any sense to anyone. blaugh

Actually that makes quite a bit of sence.

I'm sorry to hear that it became such a burden, but the most importent thing is to enjoy what you do. If you're not enjoying it, then don't do it.  

[Tybarious]

I care about you as a person and to be honest, I didnt know you made profiles (maybe I did but didn't affect what I thought of you)  

[xwhateverxdudex]

An answer that I beleive we can all agree with.  

[purpleravenhawk]

Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Sometimes you just have to take a chance and find out who your real friends are. 3nodding And like dude said, it's important to enjoy what you're doing.  

[Rinioa]

Thank you for all understanding what I was trying to say. 4laugh And it is very refreshing to know people care who knew me before I started my profile shop (like Purple)!!! whee ^_^

[purpleravenhawk]

Aww. 4laugh  

[xwhateverxdudex]

Yeah, there are actually people out there that can be good friends.

I've had to deal with false friends myself.
(even in real life)  

[Rinioa]

Blegh, I am sorry to hear that.
I'd imagine just about everyone has to ... at some point in their life.

[xwhateverxdudex]

At some point, i'm sure.
