farewell from this blog
7:06 AM*Long quiet silence*
I never thought I would reach this point. I always held true to blogger as my first platform. I've made beautiful friendships and wonderful memories. I never saw a reason to leave.
But this is a post to say goodbye to Beautifully Broken as of here.
I am moving to Wordpress for several reasons, one being that a lot more "action" is over there as many bloggers have moved there and I feel I will be able to expand and reach more people. Also, now as an author a more professional space to showcase my books feels needed.
I hate leaving and yet I knew it was coming.
I love you all and I am so truly blessed to have had you on this journey so far.
Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.
If you would follow me, I would love to have you on this second chapter. I think the biggest fear of any blogger moving is that her readers that she's gained won't follow her again. I'll be honest, I feel that.
I've blogged for over eight years.
I was just a young teenager posting about silly stuff and somehow you enjoyed that.
My mental health journey.
My graduating.
Dropping out of college.
Writing.
Publishing my first book.
Preparing my second.
Readers.
Thank you.
Thank you.
The new link to my new blog will be up soon, the domain remaining the same as this one -- I'm simply moving. The posts will remain the same. I'm still the same blogger.
It's just time for a change.

Ah, I have struggled with this too. I am currently working on a wordpress sight for myself in hopes that when I am employed again, I can purchase the domain as my own and have a more "professional" website. I will defintely be following you over there, because your posts have been very encouraging and enlightening to me.
