Okay so...it's time to say Goodbye


This is not a decision I took lightly, I have been thinking about it for about a year, torn between wanting to continue and the realization that I just don't enjoy blogging anymore. 

So I decided to stop. 

I've blogged for the better part of my twenties (now I'm 31), and I'm really glad I did. I'm thankful for all my wonderful bloggy friends like Sandy, Aylee and Daisy, and the people who have been kind enough to comment over the years.
Thank you so much. 

Honestly, this is the thing I've stuck to for the longest time. 

But it's time to move on. 

I want to get back to writing - which got every harder the longer I blogged - and just enjoy being a fangirl and ship all the ships without having to worry about churning out content and feeling guilty because I'm not reading my review books (sorry for the books I didn't get a chance to get to, by the way).

I'll still be around at @DarthClavie and in my Tumblr (which is my new obsession) where you can find me being a Girl Meets World fangirl (Lucaya Forevahhhh!!! ) and re-blogging everything the amazing Sandy-belle posts. 

So... see you around, and once more THANK YOU for being awesome all this time

  1. nooooooooo!!!!! Aw *HUGS* you will be SO missed! I'm at a total loss for words because there's going to be an Alex kissy bear sized hole in my heart and I'm so sad to see you go, but I'm also super excited for all your new endeavors! Will you still be active on Goodreads? It has been wonderful knowing you all these years :) *HUGS* my friend!

    1. *hugs* Thank you, Smallsie, it just seems like the right time to stop and start doing other stuff. :) I will still be around on GoodReads, too, because apparently I can't quit it.

  3. Oh Alex... I swear my heart stopped a beat when I first saw this in my reader. It makes me so sad to think that I will no longer get your posts in my reader as they have been a staple for so long (basically the entirety of my blogging time - at least 4 and a half years). Oh but of course I'm not upset with you for making this decision because I understand where you're coming from. I'm just upset for entirely selfish reasons, you see. But the important thing is that this is not goodbye if you'll still be on social media. I don't have a Tumblr (mainly because I don't understand it) but I will look you up if I ever get an account! And it makes me happy that you'll be working on your writing more!! And of course reading, always. **MASSIVE HUGS**

    1. OH and Girl Meets World! I only just started watching it (from the beginning). I swear it must have been you who put it on my radar (pretty sure I saw a post about it on FB) because otherwise I never would have known it was a thing because I live under a rock when it comes to tv shows that aren't on Netflix. And ohh my, THE MEMORIES!! It really takes me back to my love for Boy Meets World. And yet, I feel like it really stands up on its own while remaining loyal to the themes of the original. It's so cute. I just started watching so I don't know who that ship is, but I'm sure I'll be right there fangirling with you when I get to it. I just want to make sure that we still get to interact over mutual loves even without blogging because I'll miss chatting with you so much otherwise. Okay, I'm shutting up now! *hugs again*

    2. *hugs* I will be around still!! :) I promise, I hope I can still be active as a cementer at least. Tumblr is strange, it's like twitter for longer. :P and with lots of gifs

    3. Also, I hope you are enjoying GMW!!! :) I was a massive fan of BMW, it was such a staple of TV here for years and years, and I love it.
      I wonder if you will be Rucas or Lucaya, that'll be interesting. but I won't spoil which is which ;)

  4. All of the hugs, Lexie!! OMG, my newest addiction is Tumblr too. I'm a total fangirl for shows, movies and books and I finally just made one Tumblr blog for all of that stuff.

    I'm going to miss you on here but I'm glad that you're not going completely away. I just followed you on Tumblr so I'm glad that we'll have that and Twitter to "see" each other around.

    Best of luck to you sweets! Big hugs!

  5. Aw, you'll be missed Alex! I'm sorry I'm so late in finding this out, but you will definitely be missed! I'm on tumblr but so very rarely visit over there these days. Perhaps I'll stop by now and again to check on you! Thank you for all the lovely comments on my blog and fun chats we had. You were one of the first regular visitors I had when I first started my blog and you probably had no idea how much I appreciated you! Hopefully you'll keep up your goodreads profile so I can keep up with your book reading, because I love your recs. I sincerely hope the best for you, my friend! *hugs*
