This is Goodbye
Honestly, I never thought I would ever reach this point in my life. A point where I no longer solely relate to Borderline. A point where I no longer feel safe here. A point where I don't need the external validation of followers, likes and comments.
But here I am at that point.
This will be the last post published on this blog. Asks and submission have been turned off.
This decision was not an easy one to make. It did not come easily nor do I feel "lighter" or "free" for making it. I know that a feeling of peace will come when it's not so raw and final. So why have I come to this point? There are many reasons behind my decision and while I was going to list them all and explain -- in great detail why -- I don't feel that is truly necessary. Here are some dot points instead:
I am no longer in a position to maintain a Borderline blog.
There are literally hundreds of Borderline blogs around now, BorderlineLife is no longer needed.
I no longer feel safe here.
I no longer identify solely as Borderline.
This is no longer a positive experience for me.
It became frustrating and disheartening.
I have outgrown my own blog, the one thing I never thought I would do.
I don't expect people to understand my decision nor am I writing this to try and explain it all. This is a courtesy post to let you know that there will be no more from BorderlineLife. Thank you for your support during the last 4+ years. Thank you for your kind words, your asks and your submissions. Thank you for being part of this and growing such a wonderful community. There are now more Borderline blogs and websites (positive ones rather than the solely Borderline bashing ones when I started) than there have ever been and that, to me, is beyond wonderful. You did that! That is amazing and I hope each of you is proud of everything you've helped to create and have created and will continue to create.
Good luck Lovelies. You are stronger than you think. You are stronger than you feel.
