and april dreams comes to an end

Published on by April McLauren

hello all, for the last time.

this is such a bittersweet experience for me. when I started this blog in June 2016, I was so excited. And I became even more excited… you all have never disappointed me.

i started this blog because i wanted a creative outlet… and it served its purpose. after taking a break from my blog these few weeks, i became more relaxed, care free, and less stressed.

however, i cant leave all of my new blogging friends behind. so i will still be commenting and reading other blogs. its just not right for me anymore… i need some pressure relief.

my personal health was declining… and with camp coming up… and blogging started to feel like a chor, not an enjoyable exercise.

AH GUYS THIS PAINS ME SO MUCH YOU DONT EVEN KNOW. i’ve been struggling with this decision, but I know it has to be made.

I hope that reading my bog meant something to you. I hope you enjoyed reading my posts as much as I loved writing and sharing them with you. ❤ ❤

im leaving to a new wordpress update too… which sucks because i love it so so much.

*cries*

my site will still be left up. I’ll still respond to comments and the like. feel free to chat with me through here.

*is sad*

i recently joined a collab blog, and I will still be blogging through that. you can check it out here.

well, i hope you all remember that each and every one of you are stars, and nothing can douse your light.

you all are amazing.

for it to end as it began-

xoxo,

april ❤

  2. Hi April! I received your request to post on OVM!! I’d love to have you, and decided to write this way because you don’t have an email. Would you be able to use a GroupMe or any other way to communicate? If not it’s fine we can figure it out but it would be easier if we could talk. I’ll still add you to OVM so that you can be a part of the team!!

  6. Oh April I’m so sorry to hear you’re leaving 😦 I was looking forward to getting to know you a bit more, but you come first obviously. Take care of yourself, blogging shouldn’t be a chore and you should come first, obviously. I wish you all the best and hope to see you around, whether you decide to come back a bit to blogging, just to say hi or anything else. Sending you lots of love! xx

  10. okay, i have to be honest. my first reaction was literally ‘WHAT WHAT WHAT’, and then it was ‘NOHOHOHOHO’, and then it was ‘WHYYYYYYYY’, and then i came to terms with it. ish. point is, i understand and respect your decision, and i am quite sad, of course, but if you’re happy, then it’s cool. or should i say… cool beans?? 😉
    have a nice day, and i’ll miss you lots. 🙂

  11. Ah, that’s too bad, April! I’m going to miss you! You’re a star, too. I was so privileged so see your dreams for a while, and I hope we can keep in contact in one way or another! Maybe someday in the distant future you’re return to blogging? I hope so!

  18. 😦 You were my first blogging friend April so it’s really sad to see you go. You’re such an inspirational blogger and you are who I strive to model my blog after. I’m glad that you are taking time for yourself and recognizing that blogging isn’t fun anymore. I’m sorry that blogging has become a chore for you and I’m going to miss both you and your posts. I’m glad you’re still going to be around to comment, though 🙂 . We’ll all miss you April and I hope you know how much you meant to all of us 🙂

  19. Aww April I’m really sad to see you leave…you will be so missed! 🙂 Please never forget that you are super AMAZING and your blog is an inspiration to others. I haven’t known you for too long but goodbyes are never easy, no matter who it is. I wish that you could continue to keep on blogging but sometimes you need to put yourself before others. Once blogging became a chore it was time to find a new hobby to love and adore and I’m really proud you had the courage to accept that. Again thank you for being such a lovely blogger not only to me but to the rest of the blogging community. And so the new adventure begins………<3
