Well, like how everything good must to come to an end, it is time for me to part ways with my blog. I’ve given thought to this decision for the longest time. Weighing the pros and cons to this and maybe what I can achieve out of this tough choice.

Blogging has opened an immense amount of doors for me. There are many things that I wouldn’t have thought that I’ll be able to achieve by just a mere “online diary”. It started out as a personal website on the net, mostly read by only a few of my classmates. It grew into something that’s not so personal, and at times, a bragging ground. Or even attention-seeking.

Why am I like that? That’s not what I want. I don’t want to be a celebrity. Because blogging has evolve into what it is as of now, sometimes it feels degrading to go around saying that I’m a blogger. Yah, you are a blogger, so what? You are either wannabes or the famous bloggers. Of cos, I’m not saying this ‘cos I’m green-eyed. Just ‘cos there’s a fine line between “I am famous” and “I think I am famous”. Sadly, a lot of wannabe bloggers do not realise it.

My blogger friends don’t get me wrong, I’m not casting aspersions on bloggers and the blogosphere. It’s my issue with blogging fame and the notions of the motive to blog.

Blogging literally used to be writing online diaries. But now, people associate it with instant fame.

Anyway, I know I’m going to lose many contacts and opportunities by ending my blog. But looking at how irregular and backdated I am in my blog posts, I guess it’s just the right thing to do. And ending with my recent birthday party entry is definitely a high note for me to do it.

Thanks for the people who are with jayleif.blogspot.com for the past 4 years. It has been a great time blogging about my life, and my thoughts.

Signing off for the last time,
Jayden
