The day has finally come! After nearly nine years of blogging I have decided it’s time to put the old girl out of her misery. I used to love blogging, but now to be quite honest, it feels more like a chore than anything else, and my passion for it just isn’t there anymore. I’ll still be pole dancing and performing again, but the writing side of things will be drawing to a close.
When I began Chrome Chronicles back in 2017, my life was massively different to how it is in 2025. And I’m bloody grateful for it too. I set up Chrome Chronicles with the dream of being able to work from home and have bouncy, high energy dogs (aka not the type of dog you can have whilst working full time in an office, which I was doing in 2017), low and behold that dream became a reality, and Chrome Chronicles gradually became less important to me.
I used to spend so much free time writing and thinking up new ideas for blogs, but at this point in time that’s not what I want to be doing. I don’t want to spend any more time than necessary sat in front of a laptop. I saw a t-shirt a while back with a picture of some funny creature on it with the caption “I belong in the woods” and holy shit if that’s not me I don’t know what is. The older I get the more I relate to a weird creature who belongs in the woods, not someone sat at a desk writing yet another blog about leg hangs.
One of my mates recently said to me they believed Chrome Chronicles could be very successful with a bigger platform. Yes it probably would, but I’m fucked if I’m going to go down the route of trying to play the algorithm game. In recent years, my interest in socials has dropped off a cliff. Insta has gone from being something I would doom scroll for hours to something I check when I’m having a shit. Yep, if I’ve ever commented on your stuff or posted anything chances are it’s when I’ve been pinching one out on the crapper. I have much respect for the clever clogs who are social media experts and can play the algorithm like a pro, but I cannot. And I shan’t bother trying.
I also feel like I’ve been holding myself back a bit trying to keep the blog going when it’s run its course. Time that I would have much preferred to have spent on other creative endeavors or adventures I have instead spent writing, which led me to resent it a bit. I’ve still got the website until August 2026, so I’ll keep it up until then on the very rare chance I fancy writing again but after then if the passion is still gone it’s getting well and truly old yellered.
Thank you to everyone who has read, shared and supported my blog in anyway over the years, even those who have disagreed with it as I bloody love a good debate. You all gave me enough dopamine to keep it going for almost nine years! It’s been fun and I have loved having a blog, but there’s not point flogging a dead horse, and the Chrome Chronicles horse is indeed off to the glue factory!
