I’ve realised that the atmosphere of my personal 43thingsverse has changed substantially, too much for me to continue using this site. I guess it all started with that sharing fiasco… I expected it to become less of an issue over time, but for me 43things hasn’t been the same ever since. The uproar and the losses have made me aware just how special this community is, but the other consequence is that I no longer feel at home here.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me over the years. Thanks for inspiring me with your great goals and insightful entries, thanks for helping me to sort out my thoughts, thanks for recommending some wonderful books.

Maybe I’ll rediscover 43things in the future and use it again, but for now I’m going to retire my account. I may be back to read or message, but I won’t be setting goals and writing entries.

To everyone I’ve ever cheered: If you happen to be in Germany (more precisely: in the area around Frankfurt) and are looking for a place to sleep or someone to have a chat with, write me a message. I’d love to meet you in person.
