Have a beautiful week readers and see you there!

*Long quiet silence*


I never thought I would reach this point. I always held true to blogger as my first platform. I've made beautiful friendships and wonderful memories. I never saw a reason to leave.
But this is a post to say goodbye to Beautifully Broken as of here.
I am moving to Wordpress for several reasons, one being that a lot more "action" is over there as many bloggers have moved there and I feel I will be able to expand and reach more people. Also, now as an author a more professional...

Hola readers!
