no goodbyes, just see you around

Hi, everyone!

You may have noticed that I have not really posted any new blogs or photos in more than half a year; I do feel compelled to explain my disappearance and why you’d probably be seeing less of me in the future. Second Life has always been a huge part of me and has helped me channel my creativity, escape stress, and more importantly, meet some people who have become a huge part of of my life. Although it is a bit saddening to put everything aside, there are times wherein we need to prioritize certain things and give up some others in order to maintain our balance. Right now, my priority is my partner — Azar, my family, my career, and my mental and physical health. I will forever be grateful for my time as a resident of an inspiring and supportive community which is why I don’t want to fully close this chapter of my life. Azar and I always have random thoughts of logging in for old time’s sake and possibly snap a few photos, after all, we did meet through Second Life, so who knows? We may do just that one of these days!

I would also take this opportunity to say thank you to the brands, creators, events, blog managers, and supporters who have trusted me throughout my active years as a blogger. I appreciate everything you all have done — from seeing my talent to being considerate of all the situations I’ve gone through that would often than not affect my ability to meet requirements. Though I am ending my blogging journey, I do wish to one day be able to hop on and casually take photos of your creations when inspiration hits. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

So, like the title says…. no goodbyes, just see you around!

With love,
Sungyoung

Be back shortly…

Be back shortly...

I took this photo months ago but it didn’t get to see the light of day for the simple fact that I didn’t like how it turned out. It’s actually supposed to be part of a series that I wanted to do and still am planning to do as soon as I am back from my break. I wish everyone is doing well!
