Hello wonderful world of SG! I hope you are all doing wonderfully and I’m sending all good vibes your way!
I wanted to take a moment having visited the site more recently to say hello again, and to just be open and transparent about why my Hopeful set is no longer uploaded.
A few years ago, after spending a lot of time working through my own mental health, finding a great relationship and was doing really well in my career, then getting really sick from the C-19 virus in early 2020, I decided that it was time for me to move on from the period of time. I was concerned about my ‘digital ghost’ that I would leave behind (I was very very sick) and in addition, that set reminded me of a time when I was suffering OCD and Body Dysmorphia. I did the set because I was recovering from years of BDD and wanted to prove to myself I could be like all the SGs I had admired and looked up to.
I did a lot to close down my digital ghost too, I removed a lot of websites, sign ups, photos, social accounts etc. After being so sick, I was like - who is going to clear up my digital ghost after I passed? So it was a lot and at the time it was the best decision for me to make.
I will always love my set and I have kept all the photos for my own, and I do cherish them with all my heart ✨
But in terms of wanting to move on from that time, 2015, I was just ready to do so. I feel life is so fluid and I have grown so much that as a snapshot it was great, but as a constant reminder, not so much!! So I asked for it to be taken down and the SG staff were so kind (and it was never a ‘pink’ set either so that made it easier). They were honestly very helpful (and it must be weird when someone is saying ‘digital ghost’ in their emails haha)
I have grown within my adult years to a place where I’m still proud of the set I did, and I’d like to post more provocative photos (even if not quite as nude as the original set!) and I will say this: I am glad I didn’t close down the whole account in my haste to digitally cleanse. After events in the past year or so, I’ve been rediscovering my love and initiating parts of myself again. I hope the community here will join me in this part of my journey and reconnect again ✨
As always I am still very active over on my Instagram and have started doing one off twitch streams again, and finding joy with all my friends ✨ I really hope to speak with you all soon 💕
