He said that while he was not quite sure what it did for me, he knew that one day, it would become unnecessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That day has come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am no longer the person I was when I started blogging four years ago.  I am no longer stabbing myself with a spoon, no longer looking for fulfillment.  As I'm sure readers have noticed, I was essentially done with this blog months ago, as my posts had been fewer and farther in between.  For the last two years, I have been lovingly encouraged to think out loud, so now, when I have something meaningful to say, I &lt;em&gt;say&lt;/em&gt; it.  That leaves little more than anecdotes to post on this blog.  When I am ready to write again, it will be in a place that has more meaning and purpose.  This blog is not that place.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am removing this blog for the right reason: because the person who matters most in my life reminded me that in the end, I'm better than this.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2513234925669828577-2754385434766569081?l=heycoachj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2513234925669828577/posts/default/2754385434766569081'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2513234925669828577/posts/default/2754385434766569081'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heycoachj.blogspot.com/2010/11/in-end.html' title='In the end...'/><author><name>Coach J</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_a0V68O3OwCg/SKisHrvEvxI/AAAAAAAAADs/FzGDc5U6RUQ/S220/100_1989.jpg'/></author></entry></feed>
