Moving on…

There are things in our life that we feel like we can never go a day without, like our loved ones, or the things that we hold closest to our hearts. These things doesn’t need to be made out of gold to be considered as special, because it can be a small trinket from your favorite adventure or your cellphone. In other words, it really depends on the person and whatever he or she holds dear.

As for me, I’d been blogging since 2009 and all these years my chosen platform has always been Tumblr. So I could say that Tumblr is pretty important to me. Though I’ve tried Xanga and Wordpress, but since most of the people I know are on Tumblr, I’ve never considered leaving the blogging site that taught me everything I know about blogging. Besides, I don’t think there is any other blogging site that can rival Tumblr when it comes to building online community. Because in one way or another, many lives were changed after being a “Tumblrista”. Some became famous, others earned good friends, while the rest got to experienced being able to express their emotions through re-blogs or through their own literary masterpieces. That’s why it’s really hard for me to leave.. because I was one of those people whose life was changed because of Tumblr.

But I guess everything has their own end, a period wherein you have to close a door so you can move forward. And so, this could be the end of my Tumblr days. The days filled with emotions and chances. I swear, I will never forget all the people, great people, I’ve met through the years because of Tumblr.

But this is not yet goodbye, because I will still continuously blog here for another six months while I prepare for the launching of my new blog, where the grown up version of myself will blog. Because that is basically the reason why I need this move, or change. I believe that I also need to graduate from the environment of my 18 year old self. I feel like it’s unhealthy for my blogging career or whatsoever. I don’t know really, but a part of me knows that what I’m planning to do is the right thing to do.

Thus, I hope that 2017 will be a great year for a new beginning. xx
