Our time blogging at Catholic Girl Stuff has come to an end.
You can still find us around the blogging world though!
Lia can be found at THE SINGING WRITER
and Kat can be found at SARCASTIC SCRIBBLINGS
Kat Spills the Beans and Says Goodbye
Oh boy.
The drama that's going to spill after this.
This post was written before Lia finished hers, so it's rather hard for me to play off her themes and all that so I'm just going to go with it.
HEY BTW
MAKE SURE YOU READ LIA'S POST FIRST
Did you do that?
Ok good.
Moving on.
This blog is the first blog that really got Lia into blogging and the first time I really stepped into this end of the blogging world. You could, in fact, blame everything on an English class I took my sophomore year of high school at the community college near me. We had to start a blog about what we wrote for our class project and now...
Can you believe we've been blogging since 2016? So much has happened! We've had tons of comments, tons of friends and tons of posts! (My favorite post being, of course, the Banana Cream Pie one and this one.)
But it is time for our time blogging on Catholic Girl Stuff to come to an end. Lia and I have both moving on to different areas in our lives and we need to stop holding on to the past to really do so. And I really hate doing things halfway and that's basically all this blog has been for the past year or so: half-hearted effort and last minute posts.
I think the thing I will miss most about it is doing the "dual posts" with Lia. Hopefully, we'll be able to continue them on Lia's blog.
And now...the beans.
As promised.
This is actually kind of hard for me to do, even though I've been planning it for a while.
It is time for my secret identity to be revealed.
I'm MK from Sarcastic Scribblings, y'all.
No.
I'm not joking.
Why did I do this?
1. It amused me
2. I wrote a guest post (I'll try and find it and link it in the comments) and Ivie Brooks asked me if Kat and MK were the same people. I don't remember what I said, but I ended up having two friends come to the rescue and be like, "Um. No. Of course not!"
And then I was kind of stuck?
3. I started Sarcastic Scribblings because I wanted to blog without people I knew following my blog. This was in part because I wanted to gain followers etc on my own to feet, so to speak and get honest feedback on my writing. It was also because Lia uses the email linked to CGS as a personal email and talked to a lot of people I also know. Therefore, they knew about the blog and with every post, I put up I'm kind of thinking about them in the back of my mind. It made it so that I could blog about whatever I wanted on Sarcastic Scribblings. I read a book that I wouldn't necessarily recommend to everyone I know because it has some questionable content but I still enjoyed the overall story?
I can feel free to blog about it.
It gave me the ability to be who I am and who I want to be.
And now?
Well, I kind of hope that all the people I know + was worried who were following this blog have lost interest and moved on. But honestly?
If they're still here they either like what I'm writing or they're one of the sad lurkers who just kind of quietly check on what you're up to.
I'm doing great, lurkers.
And if I 'fess up, then I can do dual posts with Lia after this, so there's that.
That's honestly one of the biggest driving factors.
Am I still a little hesitant? Yes.
Am I doing it anyway? Also yes.
It's time to stop letting the opinions of other people stop me.
And it's time to let CGS go so Lia and I can move on.
Onward into the bright future.
Goodbye Catholic Girl Stuff.
And let the drama in the comment section begin!

Some Bittersweet Chocolate Chips of Life for Y'all*
Hi guys!!!
This is a very hard post to write.
I have kind of put off doing this for a while because i wasn't ready to let go. But I have some sad news for you all.
Catholic Girl Stuff is shutting its doors permanently.
This was a really painful decision to make. But it had to be made because Kat and I have grown up and thus we have grown out of this blog. We don't want to give you half hearted and last minute posts. We want what we write to be meaningful and to mean something.
This blog will always have a special place in my heart. This blog was the start of many wonderful things. I have made many wonderful friends, we've had a lot of good memories together. :)
I hope you are all not too disappointed. You can still find me on my blog, The Singing Writer. And Kat.... Well I'll let her tell you what she's doing ;)
For the last time.
Lia, signing out.
