Post Cosplay Life: 6 Months Later
Greetings, Vocal readers. I've been extremely busy for the last six months and having a positive outlook on life. I'll keep everyone up to speed on what I've been up to. In October 2024, I retired from cosplay after 10 wonderful years doing this amazing craft. I enjoyed attending conventions, hanging out with my friends, and meeting new people. Don't get me wrong. I loved doing cosplay and I'll always remember the good times I've had doing it. While I'll forever be tied to the cosplay community, I felt like 10 years was enough and wanted to explore new interests. This isn't a new interest, but I wanted to focus more on my writing, which I'm doing right now. I work a regular job and write stories on Vocal on the side. Did I regret walking away from cosplay for good? The answer is no. Once again, I loved doing cosplay and meeting people at cons. I'm also fortunate to have met other cosplayers online and got along with many of them. I still follow some of those cosplayers today and respect them. I'll have a link down below on what my final con appearance was like, plus a letter to my fellow cosplayers.
