This is my 100th post, and probably my last as Gone Back South. I'm glad I started this blog - it was fun and wonderful therapy when I needed it, and I've found some lovely lovely LOVELY people in the blogosphere. The thing is, I just don't feel like being GBS anymore. The future is calling ... I'll keep reading my favourite blogs, maybe leave some comments, and when I start a new blog with a new name I'll pop over and say hi. Life is sweet!With love,
GBS

You know, I think blogging in some way helps us all metamorphose into something different. I've moved on with my blogs mainly because of a troll but there is no denying I have grown as well and I needed to change the tone of my blog as I grew.
ReplyDeleteWithout the troll I could have done that on the same blog but in some ways, it is nice to have a new home.
Hope you enjoy reinventing yourself as you look to the future. Take care. Hope to see you and even better, recognise you!
Good luck whatever you do.
ReplyDeleteAll the best GBS.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you again one day:-)
Sorry to lose you, but hope you'll be back again one day.
ReplyDeleteI understand! Please do let us know when you're re-blogging! I have really enjoyed reading your stuff!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to give us the new name, because till then, you'll be on my blogrole as GBS...hugs and hurry back with a new Persona! (Though I found nothing wrong with the old one!)

Looking forward to seeing the butterfly you morph into ... bye bye GBS ... you will be missed ...
ReplyDeleteah well... my word verification fits perfectly: ousts
good luck, gbs :)
ReplyDeleteOh crikey you are one of the best bloggers going and I will miss your posts. I know what you mean about looking forward and now that you have your man back home I guess priorities are the family. You have such great talent as a writer - I hope you give serious consideration to following a career in writing somewhere along the line. All the best, let us know your new persona when you come back.
ReplyDeleteWill miss you but hope you will start up soon with a new bog & that you will get back in touch.
ReplyDeleteUntil then, all the best X
It is good to acknowledge growth and change. I hope that you start a new blog with a new perspective. Keep in touch until then.
ReplyDeleteTTFN!

Make sure you let me know won't you. I may not always comment but I always follow!!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhhh I will miss you!!
ReplyDeleteIt's all thanks to you that my own Blog carried on!
But I know what you mean... sometimes I am so busy that I can't keep up with the blogging lifestyle...
You will be sorely missed and I wish you all the best of luck in the world dear blogging friend!! You deserve all the very best that life has to offer.
Huge Goodbye Hugs!!

Be sure to let us know when you have your second coming. Or run a competition to see if we can guess that it's you.
ReplyDeleteWe will miss you. Come back soon with your new identity.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great shame. However. I'm sure you will be back in some other guise - keep in touch!! Lx
ReplyDeleteWhere are you going this time?
ReplyDeleteI shall miss you

I look forward to reading about you and your new outlook on life. Happy journey's!
ReplyDeleteAhhh good luck lovely, and definitely let us know what you're up to and if you return to blogging. You're a wicked lady and all your reasons for stopping sound good, but I'm still a little sad. (Selfish? Moi? ;D) xoxoxoxoxox
ReplyDeleteAnd blimey, the word verification for this comment is 'typing'. Your site knows stuff. I'm a bit scared.
Sorry to see you go, hope you will be back and give me a shout. Good luck with everything.
ReplyDeleteFarewell for now and good luck. See you again I hope.
ReplyDeleteGood luck GBS, didn't we all have fun!!! Debs xxx
ReplyDeleteDo you know I keep thinking that I should stop blogging, but then something really funny/strange/sad happens and there I go again! Addictive!! Sorry to lose you.
ReplyDeleteYou are all such nice folk - thank you for these warm and wonderful comments :-) I would highly recommend blogging to anyone who is lonely, confused or struggling. It's absorbing. It's therapy. It's self-expression. It's contact. The emotional support you get from strangers - who end up being friends even though you have never actually met them - is astonishing. Thanks again ... and I'll be back!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll be back sooner rather than later, and I look forward to seeing the 'new you'! Change is positive and moving forward is the only wise option...better than moving backwards or staying still.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed it here and you're going to be missed though:)
Wishing you well until next time....
Bella :)
Sorry to see you go. Hope that you will soon be back.
ReplyDeletebest of luck! i've really enjoyed your blog. make sure you let us know if you resurface in the world of blogs again.
ReplyDeleteJust popping by to say "Hi" and hope to see you around soon.
ReplyDeleteI think your decision is both healthy and inspiring. You have the sense to realise that it's time to 're-boot' yourself. Good on you. Now if only there was a way to re-boot one's ridiculous predilection for scoffing copious amounts of chocolate, watching far too much rubbish telly, spending too much time flipping through fashion mags full of gorgeous but anorexic 'Glamazons'...
ReplyDeleteGBS - would you mind sending me an email address so that I can "invite" you to read my blog? I have the troll back.
ReplyDeleteYou sound in great form, will miss you but please let us know your new blogname.
ReplyDeleteTake care and good luck.
Just to let you know that you're not forgotten and hope to hear from you sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteHi GBS - only just caught up with you after too long. Sorry to hear you've been under the knife and hope you're recovering well.
ReplyDeleteInterested to hear that you are weary of GBS - you had no reason to be when you write so well and everyone loves you! Maybe it's just that you are settled now into your new life and feel that the original persona is no longer you? Gosh, I don't know, it's late and I'm rambling! I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on this. It's intriguing psychology.
Take care and let us know when you reappear in a new guise!

Very best of luck, GBS, I've loved reading your blog and look forward to reading the next one..
