Hello, dear readers. I’ve been sitting with a question that’s quietly weighed on me for some time now—whether to let go of something that once held so much meaning, or to hold on a little longer. Since 2010, Tumblr has been my cozy corner of the internet. It’s where I first shared my poetry, posted scattered midnight thoughts, and documented the early stirrings of my dreams. That blog has been through so many versions of me—from the girl who didn’t know who she’d become, to the woman still becoming. But lately, it’s become harder to ignore the technical frustrations. The theme glitches. The formatting issues. The constant tweaks that no longer excite me but exhaust me. I’ve searched for fixes, tried different approaches—but honestly, nakakapagod na. It feels like I’m pouring time and energy into something that’s stopped pouring back.

Still, a part of me resists letting go completely. There’s that gentle ache of manghihinayang—the quiet sadness of possibly leaving behind something that’s been with me for over a decade. A space that felt like a companion during silent seasons. That’s why, little by little, I’ve started transferring some of my old posts here—onto this newer blog, which I officially launched on May 17, 2019. If it really comes down to it, I’ll leave my Tumblr up as a quiet archive, a time capsule of sorts, but I’ll no longer update it.

This platform—the one you’re reading now—feels different. It feels like a fresh page. A soft but sure beginning. It’s where I’ll be more present, especially as I continue waiting for my NMC Decision Letter and prepare for the next chapter: my long-held dream of working in the UK. I plan to share every step of this journey here—every waiting season, every small win, every quiet prayer whispered into the unknown. Because even in uncertainty, there’s something sacred about being seen, about walking the road with others who might be navigating similar paths.

So, here’s where I’d love your help. What do you think? Should I let Tumblr go completely and embrace this space fully? Or is it okay to hold on, even if just a little longer, to something that helped shape who I am?

Let me know your thoughts, Anjventuristas. Your voices matter here.
Until the next post—
With love and questions,
Anj 💕
