A Break For Now...

Hello everyone. This is a post I am surprised to be making but one I feel is rather necessary at this moment. I have been writing this blog for almost ten years and it has been a life changing experience. There aren't enough words in the world to talk about how much this space and the joint @laurensboookshelf Instagram has impacted my life. 

I love this space with my whole heart and I adore the memories we've created. As crazy as it sounds, I would not have lived in another country were it not for creating this blog all those years ago. That's how deeply this blog has altered my life. 

For now, though, I need to take a step back. This isn't goodbye forever. I want to come back stronger and better than ever. There are many parts of this blog that need updating and a refresh. I've wanted to do a rebrand for a while and now seems the perfect transitional time in my life for it. 

I will be keeping all of my current content up for the time being but this may change in the future. There's a lot of content from teenage me that I don't feel represents me as a person anymore that may be archived in the future. For now, nothing will change other than the fact I won't be posting with any regular schedule.

Thank you all for reading over the years. Words cannot express my gratitude. 

All my love, Lauren.
