I've been announcing recently that I cancelled my ability to make it to any conventions in 2017.
Now it's 100% concrete and cemented. I will never be able to make any convention in 2017 and potentially early 2018. I was riding on a tiny sliver of hope when I shouldn't have and let my hopes up too much. I will not be able to make it to Fur-Eh, BronyCAN, Howloween and it's looking very likely I am not welcome at VF 2018.
If all you're going to ask is "What's the difference?" You just don't get it. You aren't me and you don't know the pain I'm suffering right now.
Back to seclusion for me.
