5 Minutes

I've spent the last 5 minutes trying to come up with a title.

Should it be lighthearted? Serious? Optimistic? Sad?

I couldn't come up with a good title. But then again, I've never been very smooth at goodbyes. No matter how hard I tried, my voice was always the first to break, and I was always the first to turn away so that no one would see that one teardrop that would inevitably release the floodgates.

I'm leaving this blog for a while for personal reasons. Hopefully, I will still be reading, but I don't think I'll be commenting as much.

You lovely ladies and gentlemen have kept me laughing, crying and furiously cooking/baking for the past few months, and it's been an experience that really just can't ever be replaced.

Thanks so much.

Oh no girl I feel like I just found you on here. For whatever reasons you're leaving I hope everything works out for you. I know we've missed each other online a few times, I'm guessing different time zones will do that, but know I'm around if you need anything. :)
