I don't know where to post this, but that's not the point.
Have you noticed that her Mina's account got closed? I knew that she was in a serious situation or sort of, but what happened to her account?
Is anyone informed about that?

Yeah, I found out about it last night. :/

What happened? :[

o _ o -runs in circles-

she commented this on MissAlyvia's channel:

MeLinasPassion (1 day ago) I want to let you know, that I'm leaving this place now. I am really very sorry for dissapointing you and I wish you the best of luck with your studio. I hope you won't be mad at me for keeping you waiting. But I'm absolutely sure that you'll find someone who will do this job a lot better than me, because LHS has really awesome members and you will finish this project with great success. Believe me, I am really very proud of you and I thank you for everything. Best wishes from Mina.

Thanks for the find Igor and it's sad to see her go .

I heard about it too some time ago. She and Yuna800 both closed their accounts. Those are terrible losses in the video-editing world

I'm sure they had their reasons to but I'll surely miss them. But I still have hope they will both come back to Youtube someday, when their problems are over.

Until then, I guess we'll have to wait

this is disaster!!! DISASTER I'm telling you!!!!

...................at least in my inner world
I'm so sad I would do anything if she could come back with us I mean I know I gotta respect her decision and all but what can I say? I'm a human T^T I'm very selfish but I REALLY wish she'd come back!! Along with Yuna800!!!

just now I found out that she has made another account (or she already had it, I don't know) but I think it's purely to watch videos, if I read it correctly.

Yes, xsmattijsse is right. She has an account just to watch videos. Sometimes she logs on her back-up account MinasPassion to write bulletins (this MIGHT be her account to watch videos). I used to work with her in Legacy Hearts Studios and she sent all members a message about why she left, but unfortunately I'm not allowed to tell anyone about it, since she asked to.

But she is alright and watching all the videos of her favourite editors. When the time comes, she will give some news about her, so don't worry.

Oh wow... Didn't know you guys were talking about this here xD''
Well, I will get back to you later and give you a statement about it soon.

Thanks for the help ashe! You're just awesome <3<3

Okay I think it's finally time to say something here. This will be my only post about my absence and plans for the future. If you have questions, you can ask them here, but please don't pm me. I don't wanna spread my whole life on the internet and there are certain things I didn't even talk to friends about. However, I want to close up with this period and I think leaving it here would be a nice finish. This post will be kinda long so I guess there will only be a few interested people anyway.
There are so many things that happened in my past year and many different reasons why I left YT about half a year ago.

But I wanna start with something different first, so you might understand me a bit better.
It was in the end of 2007, when I started to vid with WMM. Right from the beginning, everything I started to edit, I did with passion. I'm really a huge FF7 fan and I adore this game so much for personal reasons. I have many personal memories about it, referring to my little brothers, who left together with my dad about 10 years ago. FF7 really means a lot to me. And though my first videos were really embarrassing and totally fucked up, they always had a personal story. When I started to get to know the editing community on YT, I became addicted to vidding. In these days, YT was still what it was meant to be about once. It was about YOU. You were able to show people YOUR work. And that's what made me curious and interested in this site and the people who were uploading such impressive videos there. I got to know many different persons and I made friends who I got to know in RL, too. I started many different Projects. One that was really important to me was a synchronisation of the original FF7 game. It was so much fun and I put a lot of effort into it. I usually give 100% in everything I do. I just do not feel comfortable if I cannot really back a project that I wanna do. Vidding always gave me strength and made me forget everything. You guys were awesome, always. Watching your videos, talking to you and working together with you was so much fun and I could forget about my problems.
However, my situation in RL changed a lot within the last two years. I have a very bad realtionship to my family. The only person that I really could count on was my grandfather. But when he left me, things became worse and really hard to manage for me. I could start and go into detail now, but I guess that's not necessary. If you know what it means to be a psychologic wreck, then you can imagine how I felt about one year ago. I had too many probleme to manage and some day it was just all too much for me. There was no one I could really talk to, cause I just couldn't talk about it. The fact that I didn't have time for my YT channel anymore made me feel even worse. It's not only that I didn't have time for it, I just didn't feel comfortable anymore, when I signed up into my account. There were somany unanswered messages and whenever I took a look at my inbox, they just grew more and more. I felt very guilty because I couldn't reply anymore. The fact that I couldn't edit anymore was like a shot in the face to me. I didn't have time to edit properly and whenever I tried to make a video, I just had no inspiration because there were too many things in my head. Problems I had in RL. I started to doubt. Self-doubts can be really destructive. I was sad because now that I had created this website and started "The Sky Is The Limit", I just couldn't believe that everything would be broken. There was no chance for me to stay in touch with you guys cause I had to manage huge changes in my life.
Well, I could go on, telling you how bad I felt and how depressed I was. But what I want to say is, that the reasons why I closed my account was not only because of personal reasons, but also because I didn't want to destroy my passion for editing. I need to be confident of what I do. I loved editing so much and seeing how things changed and how I wasn't able to ENJOY YT anymore, made me really unhappy. After closing my account, I felt a bit relieved. I was afraid but at the same time I knew it was okay.
Today, I feel much better and things in RL have become more normal again. I have more freetime now and I feel so much better. I found inspiration again and I don't want to loose the things which are important to me. MemoRised Pictures is something that I won't give up, not without trying my best to realize my plans. There are many ideas I have in my mind, also for this board and for the contest. Yes, TSITL WILL go on someday! Not this month, but when it's time I will contact you guys. Your work won't be all for nothing!
I'm taking my time and start things step-by-step, since I don't want to overdo things again.
I want to thank each and every single one of you for supporting me. I'm really happy that I got to know you and that you all welcomed me back so
So sorry for this long post. Thanks for your attention! <3

Best wishes,
Mina

Oh Mina, I'm so sorry you were in such a bad place. You truly are a kind, selfless, talented person, that I say this with all confidence has the respect of everyone you have gotten to know on youtube. You can touch people's souls with one comment or video, you reach out and are the inspiration for so many including myself. Don't ever feel guilty about having problems or not responding, you were going through bad times and if anything I feel guilty that no one could help you at that time.

I'm am ecstatic you came back and can continue your passion as an editor. You're too strong for words to say and made it through the worst of storms, and I hope you can always keep your inspiration and desire to be here strong, I love you hunnie!

First of all... wow what an awesome new layout for the forum xD.

Aaanyways, I'm glad that you are still here and have the vidding vibe within you (if that made sense...)! Sorry about all your problems you had in the past year and I'm happy at the same time that it got better now!
See you around Mina! and yay about the TSITL not being cancelled!

It's always good to want to start over. I was beginning to feel the same way. I'm really thankful that you sent me a PM regarding the forum of wanting to come back, if I never got that. Chances are I would have never came back here D:

Well, its good to have you back Mina. :)

Thanks a lot for your caring words guys! It really gives me a warm feeling to know, that you understand me and that you're still here ^__^

Woah, now that's quite a story. It was a real shame that you came to the point that you decided to close down your account, though it is great that you have regained your inspiration to vid =) also, it is nice seeing you around here again and also see all the changes you have done to this site =)
