I can’t bring myself to write about happy things right now. I
usually love to write about the little moments in my kids lives that make me chuckle
or something in my life that makes me laugh. I just can’t do that right now. It’s
not where my head is (believe me, I know that’s where it should be but reality
isn’t always what we want). I’m not saying I don’t enjoy these moments still, because
I do. It’s just that when I try to write about them I sound sullen and sad. (Hmm,
much like this post.)
So, I’m thinking I’ll make it official and say I’m taking a little
break from blogging. My heart is not in it and writing crap is fun for no one. I
may come back and use you all to get some thought vomit out now and again but
for the most part, I think taking a break is best.
I’ll still be reading your blogs (I need something to keep me
sane) and I will try my best to comment as often as possible but even if I don’t
please know I’m in the background living vicariously through you.
Until next time…
Lily
Hey, this is just what I am doing. I am resetting my funny and reading other people's work.
ReplyDeleteI think every blogger can understand.
And guess what? You can blog as often or as little as you want. Why? Because you're the boss of your blog.
I really really hope everything is okay. I will miss you, but I completely understand that you need a break.
ReplyDeleteIf you need anything, let me know.
My internet ear is a pretty good listener.
Good for you. We all need to use our blogs for ourselves. When it feels good to write, write. When it doesn't, don't. You've got the right idea! If you ever want just one anonymous stranger to bounce ideas off of, instead of all your dedicated readers, feel free to email me. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteOh Lily! I hope you take care of yourself through all of this and that everything in life works out for the best for you. I love reading your stuff and will miss you. Take care, love!
ReplyDelete(That's is by far the nicest thing I've written in a while...I gotta go make fun of somebody hard core to make up for it!! =)
:( Hang in there Lily - we'll be here when you're ready to write again!
ReplyDeleteEverything happens for a reason...and it all works out in the end. Love you!
ReplyDeleteSending happy thoughts your way! Hope everything is ok and if it's not, just know that it will get better!
ReplyDeleteI can't even begin to tell you how much I relate to this. I have had many phases like this and sometimes a break is the best thing. Taking the pressure off of feeling like you have to put something together to make other people chuckle when all you want is to zone out in front of the TV or put your energy somewhere else. Enjoy your break!
ReplyDeleteBreaks are good sometimes. I had been struggling with mine too for a while but it seems to be inching it's way back. Sorry that life is full of curve balls right now for you. Good luck with your new focus.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you :) I know I don't comment much but I have been reading. I think sometimes a good break is in order. I have been thinking about things in regard to my blog myself.
ReplyDeleteLily I'll miss you and hope you come back one day! That said, completely understandable. In the meantime, hang in there, sister!
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss you. I hope your break helps.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. I've definitely been there. And lately. I've hardly been blogging all. Instead of it being something fun, it seems like a chore. Taking a break really helps. We'll be here when you come back.
