I have been quite busy trying to keep my websites going with no luck. So, I had to make the hard choice and shut them all down but this one. and my Sinistra Sensei blog. Over the past 25 years I have struggled with getting a website to run the way I want it to, I have had more success in running communities with others then running my own. But this is not the reason for the shutdown. I reached a place in my life I thought I would never get.<\/p>\n<p>And let me tell you it is scary to get that low and you feel unwanted and just want to end it all. Stress is not a fun thing I can tell you that. I kept contemplating over and over in my head. and I finally asked for help. and I got the help I needed. but it comes at a cost. I need to de stress and do something I enjoy doing. and running a website is no longer enjoyable to me. So, I decided to remove my digital footprint from the forum&#8217;s aspect of the internet.<\/p>\n<p>I am pushing 46 this year and I want to do things that are fun for me. So, this is my choice and I can live with it if I am not stressing over getting members. active communities and or popularity for a niche that I thought would work out better than just anime. Living with the positive outlook that I tried to do this (running communities not the other thing) I can be happy. I do stream from time to time I enjoy it so it&#8217;s something I am looking into I am not going to stress over getting popular or follows or subs. I am just going to have fun!<\/p>\n<p>To those that have supported me over the past few years I would like to say Thank You! it means a lot to me. For those that just wanted to see me fail tough shit I am still here.\u00a0 If you want to keep in touch, you can message me on Discord Sinistrasensei\u00a0 I hope everyone has a great live and I will keep in touch promise!<\/p>\n<p>Sinistra Sensei<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know I haven&#8217;t posted here much and I do apologize for that.
