Good Bye, Dear Blog :-) !!

Dear Blog,
It's been almost three years since I stopped writing you. To be frank, when I first started writing you six years ago, I didn't have any plan on dumping you; I thought I would become a famous blogger and write you forever ;-).

But you know na, stuff happens and I dumped you long ago.
Why am I returning to you after so long? 'Coz I want to end things between us with a proper closure. Not that it would matter to you--you are not a sentient being! This closure is NOT going to matter to you. But to me, it does. I believe in closures. There are times when you move on from something, but it's important to properly end things and tie up the  loose strings. Even if it means saying goodbye to a blog. Yup !! I'm back to my hopelessly-idealistic-madly-in-love-with-life self :-) !! Ha ha... And that's the very reason I want to close you with love and respect.
I started writing you with lots of hopes and dreams. I was an aspiring blogger ha ha. Anyway, I never became a famous blogger, but yes, writing you was so therapeutic. I do feel embarrassed when I go through some of the entries, but pouring out all my feelings onto you definitely helped me so much. I didn't even have a journal back then, and you were the only place I could write on. Ya, you meant a lot to me. Even though I started writing you on a happy note, somewhere down the line life got complicated. I moved away from my "true self" and became a "real life person" as I say so in my previous posts. Ha ha !! Time changes! Now I'm back to what I was years ago, to what is actually my true identity. So much has changed, yet the basics remain the same: I was, I am, and will always be "Just a simple human being who loves life, nature and cooking" :-)
Yes, I am at such a happy place today. Have totally moved on from all the negativity and toxicity in my life. A positive feeling envelops me, my Guardian Angel is giving me signs that right now I am exactly where I am supposed to be at this point in life. I am so peaceful, happy, content, and excited! When you are happy, you get nostalgic and start introspecting. That's how you came into my thoughts again. And I realize that you meant so much to me once upon a time, and I should say a proper goodbye to you.
Yes, my Dear Blog, you meant a lot to me, you helped me analyze my thoughts, you made me feel like a "blogger", and even if just a couple of other people read you, it still meant a lot to me... I feel so nostalgic coming back to you after so long--and I will surely return to read you. You are a place where I can come to any day in future and get a glimpse of the "old" me :-) !!
So this is my last post on you. Thanks a lot, Good Bye :-) !!
Love,
N
