Dear Former Bloggers, Why did you stop? I myself had some major mental health challenges, a lot of which I blogged about, but there came a time when the effort was just too much. I stopped in November 2020. Five years ago. I started back up again last week. Diary of a Low Budget Superhero was launched in 1999. It had a different name then: Jungle Sweet Jungle.
