self portrait




This past year, my blog has grown significantly in many ways and I'm thankful for all the people that made it possible, including my photographer, my friends, my readers and my sponsors, to name a few. But with my birthday and the responsibility I feel with the age I am now, I had to seriously rethink my career path and what I really need to prioritize. I'm not saying I'm going to stop blogging, because no way am I going to throw away all the time and hard work I put into this platform, but I do want to put aside more time for the things I truly want to accomplish. There is a possibility I may be posting fewer times a week, but I will still be producing new content! I love you guys for being patient and keeping up with my crazy blogging schedule. Here's to a new year with more amazing, new experiences :) Thanks always x

この一年、このブログは色んな意味で本当に成長したと思います。それはたくさんの人のお陰だと思っているので、本当に心から感謝しています。でも、また一つ歳を重ねて、自分のキャリアのことをもっと真剣に考えないといけないと思い始め、何を優先にし、何をまた犠牲にしないといけないかを見直さないといけなくなりました。ブログを辞める訳では全然ないのですが、以前より記事が少なくなってしまうかもしれない。。でもそれは、私が本当にやりたいことにもっと時間をかけて、努力をしたいから。人生は一回きりだからね。でも、ご心配なく!ブログは定期的にチェックしますし、記事アップはちゃんとやります。いつもこの小さなブログを支えてくれてありがとうございます。これからも改めてよろしくお願いします!

  5. That's the catch about blogging, isn't it? It easily becomes a very time-consuming pastime:) Glad to hear that you'll continue blogging, even though I understand your choice to prioritize more important things in life:)

  18. I wish you all the best in everything you do Samantha. I can see your blog's grown so well in the industry since the very first time I visited your blog. I guess, we all have come to the point that we need to improve and take it serious about the career now :) Same goes for me, and hopefully we will meet in Japan very soon!
