Resignation as Prime Minister

My fellow South Pacificans,

I did not expect or want this term to go this way.

As I had mentioned earlier, I had a close family member pass at the very start of my term. There are extenuating circumstances that made this death harder for me than I expected it to be, but I fear there’s only so much I’m willing to say in a public statement. I will mention that the sudden responsibilities I had to take on ended up greatly delaying and condensing my final work of my degree, which taxed my time, energy and mental health.

Until a few days ago, I had always planned to make this right with TSP. I kept telling myself “I just need one more day to finish this work, then I will get caught up with NS,” “Just one more day / a few more hours” and so on. I was waiting for a burst of energy and ability that never came, and in this I think that I have deluded myself. Truly what I managed to do was somewhat clog up the Executive. I am aware that recall efforts are underway, and I don’t begrudge it in the slightest. I cannot begin to apologize enough for my conduct.

With that and the needs of the Coalition in mind, I am announcing that:

  1. I hereby resign from the office of the Prime Minister, and wish the CRS-chosen caretaker and next elected PM the best.

  2. I will be taking an approximately two-week long leave of absence from NationStates broadly. In an emergency, I can be reached via DM.

  3. Upon my return, I do intend to resume my duties to the SPSF.

My deepest apologies to the region and particularly my Cabinet. I remain,

Faithfully yours,

Heliseum

You have my deepest sympathies, Heliseum. Thank you for your service so far, and take as much time as you need to feel that energy and normalcy again.

I am deeply sorry for your loss, Heliseum. Please take all the time you need. May the family member rest in peace and I hope you will feel better soon.

Yourself over online life any time. You made the right decision. There are many supporting you, caring for you, and wishing you well.

I will join the chorus to say that I am very sorry for your loss, and that I wish you nothing but the best. Real life should always come before NS, but we will all be here for you when you return.
