farewell. fare well. such a bittersweet word meaning both of hope and a parting of ways. farewell. i hope your journey bodes well. i hope your life turns out beautifully. i hope nothing ill comes your way. farewell. so long. this is where we say goodbye.

this is where i say goodbye.

over and over, i have said that i live to write. i have been grateful that blogging has given me an outlet, another way of expressing my writing. i finally realized that by blogging, i have given myself an excuse. my blog became my scapegoat. see, when i say that i live to write, i am not telling you the whole truth. that is, i live to write stories.

for years, i have put off creating stories. the reasons behind that, i shall not elaborate. it's not the point anymore. i believe that i am ready to go on that journey again, to create, to imagine, to bring life to the worlds and the characters swirling inside my head. this is where my focus should be.

i kept putting it off, telling myself that i have my blog anyways. i still have an outlet, i don't need to start on that novel just yet. you know when you have chicken pox and you itch and your mom tells you not to scratch 'coz it's gonna scar but you can't CANNOT scratch? lately for me, it felt like that. there's that feeling, that tiny voice in my head i keep ignoring then it screams at me 'coz it can't be ignored anymore. i need to move on.

the friends i've made here, hopefully, would like to remain as my friends. there's a few of you whom i know that if we could've met face to face, we would've become fast friends... kindred spirits. this is the end of this blog but, fingers-crossed, not the friendships.

so, i bid you... farewell. thank you for the support, the encouragements, the laughter, the compassion, the friendships.

thank you and good night.
