I've been thinking about leaving. Some of you noticed. Most didn't. That's okay. I know I sometimes ramble about me being burnt out. Thinking about to leave and then don't. Or sometimes having to deal with depression. These are one of my top posts. Kind of ironic.

I'm not leaving. But I am changing how I show up here. I won't keep commenting, creating, posting for people who don't reciprocate. I'm tired of one-sided circles. My energy is finite, and I need to protect it.

Someone blocked me recently because I told them I felt ignored. That hurt more than I want to admit.

Here's something else that I want to mention again: I don't care about the numbers. I left so many milestones behind, where I could do challenges. But I care about community. About give and take. And the part of me that gives you love, that creates for you, that celebrates your milestones and checks on you when you're quiet? That's actually the part of me I call Luna. Not Creed.

Most of you haven't seen her fully. Haven't acknowledged her. You interact with the mask and miss the person wearing it.

So here's my last challenge:

Do something good. Not primarily for me - do it for the community, for each other.

Make something for someone who matters to you. Tell someone they're valued. Create something that brings light into someone's day. But, make it so, it reaches out to someone who seems quiet lately. Check on the people who always check on others. Give a gift to those who don't get gifts so often.

Build the community you want to live in. Be the friend you wish others would be to you. This challenge has no time limit. Of course not. It should go on and on and on...

I tried to do that here. I'll keep trying, but differently now. With boundaries. With reciprocity as a requirement, not a hope.

Make things better. Make connections real. Make kindness normal instead of exceptional.

If you do create something, comment somewhere with heartfelt words, tag me please so I can see it. Use #mylastchallenge

With love, even now, Luna 🖤
