SR is just a title. You will always be a role model and a guide to others. I'm glad you have finally taken a step that will make you happy.

There's a time for everything. When you felt you could take responsibility you did it remarkably. Now you can't or don't want to, then it's only right to let go, instead of holding on to it and being unfair to yourself and others.

Wish you all the best for the new and flexible beginnings. 😉
