Hello internet people,
As you may have noticed I went on a blogging hiatus because my domain expired last September. I wasn’t able to renew it up until now because I have other financial responsibilities at the moment. And I realized that over the past few years, at first for me my domain was something that I felt like I wanted to invest on because I wanted to pursue brand collaborations and I did. I had plenty of time then, so it was easy for me to update frequently. But recently, because of my job and a few other responsibilities, it kept getting harder to update. I was running out of things to say, to be honest, because life isn’t as exciting now as when I was in college. Sad, but true.
So, I decided to not renew my domain this year which is really hard for me since I’ve grown so attached to my domain. Instead of paying for it, I opted to go back to blogspot which is free. I just want to be more responsible when it comes to my expenses. I feel like it’s the best time for me to test the waters first before jumping right in. I’m not saying I won’t be having my own domain again ever, we don’t really know… I just feel like this is a wise decision for me at the moment and we’ll see how things will go.
Hopefully, this 2019 will be a year full of opportunities for me to bring back my blogging mojo back. I have so many things I want to do, and hopefully, I can share those with you on my next posts.
Thank you for sticking with me all this time.

I completely understand what you mean. Part of me wants to pay for wordpress so I have more control over the layout and my own domain, but the bigger part of me is telling me to save my money since I'm moving overseas in 8 months! That adult life, hey? 😛
Welcome back 🙂

Welcome back!
I know what you mean about the domain name – just seems to be more professional especially when everyone seems to be hating on blogspot and prefer WordPress (even if it is the free one).
Hope 2019 is a great year for you!

I know, right! It actually hurts my pride a little to go back to free sites but still for the love of blogging!
Thank you so much, I wish the same for you. x
