But I will say:
Do what feels right bbys. If you are unable to balance everyday life/ moving forward in personal dreams and aspirations while being on a Brandy board and being concerned with her, then yes-- take a break.
And I feel for anyone who feels like their feelings for their favs lean along the lines of idolatry.
Should never be the case tbh.
Balance is KEY
Let me Clarify
The thing is ive balanced it for years its never taken over my life or held me back in that regard and I can still carry that balance if i choose and Ive been able to do just that, Ive never come on here claiming worrying about bran causing problems in my personal life 
There is a difference between support and idolatry. In our society idolatry in many different forms is part of our everyday life. What we dont do is Look and accept others gifts and then look and accept our own and others.
we compare and contrast
oh she sings this better
oh he can do that better than her
this actor doesn't say it right
her harmonies are unmatched
her 20 years in the biz etc
What I am saying is that I sent my thoughts and wishes to the universe and it manifested what i wanted
To see and meet bran
The energy this type of fandom generates is draining and to have that coupled with a community that is 90 percent negative just showed me that its not an ideal space to operate in . When you love something or someone you need to love them free of attachment and expectation. Once those elements are gone you free yourself and the person.
I can love brandy without this board
I can love brandy without a new album
I can love brandy without seing her live
I can love brandy if she went silent for years
The extra stuff is just unnecessary is what i am saying
Beautifully put Lew, and I'm glad to hear that this place hasn't stopped you from progressing in life.
And it sounds like (to me) it would be best to break away from this negative place just to really manifest the things that YOU need to manifest for your life. Like I said in here earlier I truly believe you will go far in life and am rooting for you to.
What you said is so true and I doubt some really even realize how they could be placing a lot of the energy they put into other people into themselves.
Totally makes sense if you slowly start to fade from the board as time progresses.
And you're totally right--it is definitely possible to love Bran and other artists without all the extra--that's how we were brought up in the 90s tbh
All this extraness now is due to the expansion of the internet and it's capabilities, in a society not properly equipped to use its tools efficiently and effectively .
I wsh you nothing but the best tho luv!
