:D hiiii!

Yes, the she is you. Not much of a disguise but just in case people weren't aware, no need to be pointing the finger for my general question :)

Saying goodbye can be a sign of respect towards the people (friends) who supported you, a polite way of finishing a fantastic journey and also a way of showing gratefulness for what one accomplished.

Absolutely. I'm glad you said 'goodbye' in a post and would have been concerned if you didn't.

Me? quit? No way, the party is just getting started - here and elsewhere perhaps too :D
