Taking this blog down

When I started this blog almost a year ago, I did not yet anticipate just how much my life will have changed in the next few months. This was never meant to be something to promote myself, but rather an alternative to my presence on social media.

With me officially becoming a woman soon, there will be a lot of attention to that – both good and bad. I’ve already been decreasing my presence on all kinds of socials in the past few months during the early stages of transition. Though I do intend to be back on those in some capacity later on, right now what I need is less attention – not more. Certainly more privacy is needed.

It has also become much more difficult to maintain this blog and other side gigs with such a massive change in life. As much as I’d like to dedicate more time to it, I just don’t have the energy. And frankly it would be dishonest to you as much as to myself to just keep pushing low-quality stuff out despite having the writer’s block.

I’ve come to realise many uncomfortable things lately, but those topics are for face-to-face conversations. This space was always meant to be sincere, and I can no longer deliver that.

So I decided to take this blog offline by the end of the month.

Big thanks to everyone for keeping up with my shenanigans. This isn’t the last time you’ll be hearing from me – maybe I’ll start something on Substack or Medium at some point, who knows?

Exciting things are ahead, and as I’ve reached so many goals in life I can now calm down and focus on the one thing I’ve always wished for the most. Hopefully this will bring me peace, though I know a tough fight still lies ahead.
