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. 💙

15 Years Later...

Hi there,

Today marks 15 years since I created Around the Spiral with Edward Lifegem. I'm happy announce that I've started a new adventure on YouTube. I hope you'll check me out on there and subscribe if you wish. Regardless, this has been an amazing journey! I am thankful for the good times I've had through my blog. Thank you for your support these past 15 years!

🦋 Be Still 🦋

Hello there,

I've officially deleted my Twitter accounts after 14 years. The chaos created by people who say they love everyone and are very accepting was way too much. From "Lets Get Him" to "Nobody Likes You" to straight up name-calling and death wishes. This clearly isn't the place to be if you are a Conservative.

The community has grown to be Toxic towards people of different beliefs. If you don't agree 101% with them, you are targeted. Instead of stating "I don't agree with you on this, and this is why you're wrong" they create Unfollow and Targeted Harassment campaigns. In addition, the majority of these people are supposed to be Kingsisle Representatives aka Community Leaders. While I strongly disagree with the Woke Mindset, I will not go down their same path of targeted verbal bullying. When I say Woke, that means a Political Movement. It's just like calling me a Conservative.

I stand by my remarks that KI should focus on improving PvP and PvE. No Modern Day USA politics - whether it be liberal or conservative - should be implemented into the game. Unlike the many who messaged me, I don't need validation of my conservative or religious beliefs from KI or anyone else because they aren't shaky. Jesus is Right and Real. We're living in the days the Bible mentioned that good would become bad and bad would become good. The best thing to do is to Be Still and Know that He Is God. 

Being still meant to delete my accounts, and to pray for all of these people. I stand by Jesus, 100%. The entire world could hate me and I won't ever abandon Jesus - the one showing me that what the world is doing is wrong. I do apologize for offending people with the 2 gender tweet out of anger, but I'll never apologize to the world's ways. This is no way to say I'm perfect or special just because I believe in and follow Him. It's to show that I recognize that I am a sinner in need of His grace. He has already won and everyone will see that one day soon. 

Thank you to all of those people who supported me these past 15 years. Around the Spiral turns 15 years old on May 10th, 2025. While I had a certain type of blog post planned, I'm instead going to share the good moments from my experience in the community. While the world around us is chaotic, there is still Hope in Him. Always Remember that.
