It's Been Awhile...

 Hello, 

It's been a few months since I've made a blog post. A lot has happened the past few years - some good, a lot of it, bad. However, a lot more good things have been happening since the mid part of this year. There was, however, a major learning experience from the early part of the year.

What happened earlier this year was not good. It pushed me away. It made me question if my gayness is right or not, it made me question any support for the LGBTQ community, it made me question if I should even communicate with people with different beliefs. 

Then I realized, that isn't good. The events I had was my way of trying to communicate with people with different beliefs. To Understand. Even if I have different beliefs. When I'm called names and yelled at - I snap back, just like when I said there were 2 genders. Yes, I believe that based on my Biology courses from HS and College. It is also because of my religious beliefs as it states it in The Bible. 

While I have these different beliefs, there are ways to get people to support or understand you. Kind Communication. This was something I didn't receive from the LGBTQ Wiz community. Despite that, I do plan to speak to people I know in real life (that are part of the LGBTQ community) about these topics with an actual conversation. No Drama or Arguments. The people I plan to speak to don't share the same beliefs as I, but they are truly kind to everyone they speak to. 

My life now is focused entirely on Jesus Christ. I've had many new great memories offline because of Him. If it wasn't for Him, I wouldn't be here. So, my plans going forward isn't to return to the community, but more so try to understand people before speaking. To actually Be Still. The community is a place for one group of people with the same belief system. It is what it is. But I'm going to still try to understand how and why. I have judged since then. That isn't my job, its God's. This all comes with a decision I recently made to be Baptized. This will be the final post I direct to the community - there will be new blog posts, but I won't share them via Twitter. 

Thank you for joining me for this short post. Until next time, I'll see you around the spiral. 

Life Update - What I've Learned

Hi there,

Long time no talk.16 years ago today, half of my life ago, I celebrated my first Birthday in Wizard101. This got me thinking about how much I did in the community and where it got me. I had over 50 in-game events, amassed thousands of followers on social media, and over a million views here on this website.

In early 2025, I made a statement that Kingsisle should stick to the basics - fix the game. Stop focusing on political statements due to the divisions that would and did occur. KI celebrated the 4th of July with items they've had for well over a decade. This resulted in an uproar from many of the same people. The truth is, their uproars won't ever stop. The hatred in their hearts shows through their actions. 

The last 5 months off Twitter got me to see their hatred is from a part of their lives I have nothing to do with. I'm not going to try to make people happy who don't want to be happy. That's God's job, not mine. Jesus is the Savior of the Universe and he's capable of everything. So my time in the community started off wonderful and ended badly. There is, however, always a silver lining.

My time in the community taught me that Jesus has always been there for me when people I truly cared about failed me. I thought I needed them because I was going through severe depression even this long after losing my dad. Jesus showed me He was the only one I needed to focus on. 💙
