My love for V-Day runs very deep. For the last five years, i’ve watched as digital community expanded and allowed for more people to participate to end violence against women and girls. I’ve met so many amazing people and done so many amazing things due to my relationship with V-Day.

Thus, it breaks my heart to realize that it’s time to move on. I’m becoming more and more entrenched in my research and too spread thin to give anything the attention it deserves – my family, my research, V-Day, my friends… Basically, i’ve just been struggling to keep going and dropping the balls i’m juggling left and right. Yet, it’s so hard to give up something i love so very much.

I still don’t know if i’m being foolish, but i need to be honest with myself and with V-Day, because i love us both dearly.
