I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the future of my blog, and if I’m honest, it’s a decision that’s been weighing on my heart for quite some time.
It’s strange because, in many ways, the blog is thriving. The views are better than ever, and from the outside, it probably seems like the worst possible time to even consider walking away. But numbers don’t always reflect how you feel inside.
For 11 years, this blog has been a huge part of my life. It’s been there through so many chapters, introducing me to incredible people, amazing opportunities, and memories I’ll always treasure. Letting go of something that’s been part of your identity for over a decade isn’t easy.
The truth is, my passion for Second Life just isn’t what it used to be. It hasn’t disappeared overnight, it slowly faded over the years until one day I realised I was holding on more out of habit than excitement. That was a difficult thing to admit, especially when something has meant so much for so long.
I don’t see this as the end of something I loved. I see it as accepting that people change. We grow, we evolve, and sometimes our hearts lead us in a different direction. As painful as it is to close one chapter, I know I can’t keep writing a story that no longer feels like mine.
This blog will always be one of the greatest journeys I’ve ever been on, and I’ll forever be grateful to everyone who has been a part of it. Thank you for reading, for supporting me, and for making these last 11 years so incredibly special.
A huge thank you to the people I have blogged for who have let me do it in my way and been so supportive.
Maybe it’s time to find out what the next chapter looks like.
My YouTube has also gradually ground to a halt. The passion lost. I’m back to doing more reality based things and music.
I will still write, however it won’t be published. It will become a journal to eventually publish one day. Maybe. Or maybe not.
Thank you ❤️
