My Withdrawal

Hello friends, family, acquaintances and fellow members of the World. I am here today to formally withdraw my candidacy for the position of Most Popular Man on Earth. I realize that this position is being vied for by a number of incredibly talented, attractive, kind, funny, intelligent, skilled and good-hearted people who much deserve the title more than I. For within my own town where once everyone knew my name, I now am been thrown into the shadows of these other candidates. Noticing this change, I can no longer see myself viably being elected to this position. With this withdrawal, however, I will not be pledging myself to another candidate. Instead, I will be simply falling back into anonymity, with the hopes that some will follow me there realizing that this title is simply a farce that I as well have fallen into believing. I would like to remind every candidate still running, and all those supporting them and who were supporting me, that this title is more stress-laden than one could imagine, and that it is simply no longer worth the prestige that comes with it. In today's world, society raises whoever they can regardless of talent or skill to the highest ranks, only to have the ability to rip them apart. It is, for this reason, that I wish to be seen as more humble than popular, and wish to withdraw my candidacy from Most Popular Man on Earth. Thank you.
