"Hey guys, I'm very humbled by your messages and hope to be able respond to you all soon. I'm sorry for deleting my account without saying goodbye, but I didn't want to make a big deal about leaving.
As I'm sure you all do too, I have a lot going on at the moment, and felt that imgflip among other things was distracting me from focusing on some of the more important things in my life. I thought taking a break might help, but unfortunately memeing just isn't fun for me anymore.
I've really enjoyed getting to know you guys, and while I won't be returning to Imgflip I will keep my slack account open so I can keep in touch. I would really hate to lose the friendships that I have built with some of you.
I hope you are all well. Hugs and kisses 🤗 Xxx"
