I had a decision to make. And I made the decision ...

Not an easy decision

Today I come with a completely different post than the one you are used to from me. And also a post that I don't find easy to write. But a post to be written for tomorrow. Before I have to explain everything, before all the questions come.

I didn't feel like the right person in this place anymore

I have been writing for LBI since the start of LBI, December 7, 2020. 3 posts a week. Week in, week out. And many times I've had my hands in my hair about what to write. Often I have spent many hours on my content for LBI because it is 'way out of my comfort zone' to write 3 posts a week financially related. I learned a lot from it, absolutely. And I did it with pleasure. However, lately I felt that I wasn't the right person in this place. And I also had more and more trouble figuring out what to write about. My interest in crypto is unchanged, and it will remain so. But what I find interesting are not always things that fit LBI. And a project like LBI benefits from writers who can and want to commit themselves 100% with the right knowledge and dedication. I can no longer offer that myself at the moment.

I want to go back to my roots

Several things are responsible for this. And not least because my interests that have been sleeping for a long time are waking up again. I spend more and more time painting, I want to keep my own account on Hive MORE ACTIVE again, and above all I want to go back to my roots, where my passion has always been. Yes, you read that right, the flame for photography that has been extinguished for so long has woken up again. I feel the time is here when I step back into the photography world. The world I've always really appreciated, doing what I've always enjoyed so much. Creating memories for myself and for others.

Only so much hours in a day

Because besides this of course I also MUST spend the necessary time with my other great passion, the dogs, I had to make choices. And that made my choice to stop writing for LBI. Because I have to put in the most effort for this, and therefore spend the most time in it. The time that I can save per week with this decision, is valuable time that I can spend on other things that are important to me.

I don't like to quit projects

I'm not normally the person to step out of a project I believe in, but right now I think this is the only right choice. I personally think that LBI needs more than I can offer to continue growing. With great pleasure, and the necessary nervousness, I started this project. But right now, it's time to pass the baton to someone else who can and will lift LBI to greater heights.

The LBIs in my wallet will stay there, I'm not selling

Of course, I wish LBI every success and hope to see new heights for LBI soon, because just because I stop writing doesn't mean I'm giving up LBI altogether. The LBIs in my wallet will stay there nicely, and hopefully they will soon reach heights beyond where I can send them.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my LBI blogs.

We will meet again on the blockchain

Your hard work and regular contributions to the LBI community over the past 28 months are much appreciated and will live on the blockchain forever. When you feel trapped and no longer get excited to write about a particular subject, it's time for a change @hetty-rowan

There's absolutely no shame in pursuing interests and hobbies that you are passionate about. We only live once!

I look forward to seeing posts centered around your paintings, photography and, of course, the doggies!

Upvoted and curated!💫

Thank you @ninahaskin, your words are very much appreciated. And yes, it was time for a change.

Oh yes, we only live once and we should make of that what we can!

Lol, yes, the doggies will again be a subject for many posts I think. Thanks for the vote and curation!

Hello. I for one have benefited immensely from your posts. I've learned a lot and have investigated all the tips you've mentioned. My crypto knowledge and grow on this platform was due partly by reading your content that is easy to understand. I love bow you explained everything and not assumed your readers automatically knew.

I understand and applaud your decision to invest in yourself first. You must go where you passion lies. When I first joined the other platform, I did so on the encouragement of others to pursue affiliate marketing. It wasn't working for me, and my passion waned. What I wanted to do was write fiction. I finally delved into it and never looked back. Now, I absolutely love digital drawing and creating fractals.

I wish you success in your photography. Take care.

Good to read that you have had so much benefits. And thank you for your kind words. Very much appreciated.

I'm sure that I'm going to be much more creative again.

I'll keep in touch with your photography. Let me go follow you if I don't already. Take care.

As much as I've enjoyed your content on LBI, I love that you're getting back to your roots. I can't wait to see more content from you personally. Congrats on a step toward what matters to you.

Thanks for your words. Yes, the time is here after almost 2 years to go back to my roots. And I am really very much looking forward to that.

I believe you should always invest in yourself first. You need to be in good shape to be able to help others. Thanks for sharing.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Very true. To help others you should be in good shape, and to be of the best help, you should enjoy that more than anything else. Thanks for your comment.

I love you posts, no matter what!
But it is good to go back to your roots.
Looking forward to your future post,
and photography it is, @hetty-rowan!!!

Thank you @silversaver888! And my future posts will hopefully be with new photos, that I really missed making them. Also new paintings, and not forgetting the start to end process. Lol ...

When it stops being fun. Stop.
Hope you get back to doing what you enjoy.
Your post were very informative and enjoyable and will be missed

When it stops being fun. Stop.

I agree

Thanks for your comment, and yes. It's time to move on, or better said ... move back to my passion! Thanks for your compliment. I'm sure there will be better posts from lbi soon.

I totally understand what you mean. Hopefully you will be refreshed by the change, I know your dogs will :) And it doesn't mean you can't do a LBI article every so often 🙌 Well done, and thank you for your great content :)

The dogs will sure like it, because it will mean more time for quality time together. And I really have to learn Skipper how to be a good dog model. He hasn't learned much of that yet.

Thank you for your comment! Very much appreciated.

You may want to use @liketu.app if you are into photography thats your frontend to be on :)

Lol, thank you for the recommendation, but if you had checked my account there, you'd seen that I already have done few posts from the liketu app.

I was on ecency and did not stalk through your account 🙂
Will check you out there!

That's alright. I haven't been really active there, but that will change soon! Thanks again.

You got to do what is best for you @hetty-rowan xxxx

Thanks, yes. I knew you'd understand it ... Thanks for your visit and comment! How are you doing?

Go where your passion takes you, and don't let anyone stop you. ❤️

Thanks @kerrislravenhill, I defo want to go with my passion. And this time, I think no one can even stop me. ❤️

Hey Hetty,

Thanks for all you've done for LBI!

You've certainly left the account in a much better position than when you started.

Give the doggos a pat for me and I'll see you around :)

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

Hey Dane,

Thanks for your visit, and your endless support for LBI.

The doggos enjoyed the extra pat and of course, yes you'll see me around. I'm not disappearing from Hive.

Life happens and there are different reasons to leave. Good to see it was done on good terms.

That's it indeed. Life happens and different reasons to leave. Choices are a part of life. Thanks for your comment.

I enjoyed your posts and I learned quite a bit about various different tokens. While it may be unfortunate to see you go, I am sure I will see you around on the blockchain and I hope everything goes well.

It will be a breeze and fun to write about the things you are passionate about unless you're like me and are not a writer which clearly you are. Thanks for your contribution to LBI I enjoyed your posts!

I can't wait to take the challenge on to write about photography again. It has been too long since I've done that. Thanks for your comment and visit to my post. Appreciated!

You have done well with the project and for that I say thank you. I understand what you mean by wanting to go back to your root, it can be a huge shock, because sometimes you realise you are not the person you used to be. Have a great day. Cheers!

Thanks for your comment and kind words. Very much appreciated.

You only have a set amount of time each day. I believe it is important to use that time as effectively as you can and that includes prioritizing your passions. Priorities change over time. Do what feels right in your heart.

Good to read this
