Ahhhh. I need to actually take a formal hiatus. Yesterday it all just hit me really hard in the face. I’m worried about getting well-written replies up on the forums just as much as finishing college essays for school right now. That's clearly a problem when it comes to priorities-- I know. :,)
One, I'm no longer enjoying myself by writing and two its stressing me out and thus preventing me from resting. Three, I need to formally dismiss myself from the forum for a reasonable period of time until I can clean my headspace again. Another week? Less if I clear my thoughts sooner and completely take a rest. I struggle to let myself rest my brain when there's something that needs to be done. (which is why needing to get several people post kills me mentally especially when I'm too drained to get back on them)
I think that hearing from you guys that extending my absence like this is completely okay, that I can take as long as I need, that no consequences will come of halting my topics-- because that's what I have a hard time accepting and that's why I’m not done with my break yet. Worrying kept my break from beginning!. I’ve been in this routine for five years and now I need the formal break (and a real break this time) to get better.
BF members are allowed to continue plots, I'm still in contact with Discord via a direct message. I encourage my members to be able to function without me for a bit, hault introductions, forgive me for slowing down your plots, and make more plans for us when I return!
Some good news before I take off. I’m finally finishing up my rehab for my spine and by back pain is doing better, I’m surviving my senior year, first semester finals went by well, I’m working hard on finishing an art portfolio to send out to a college board, and my volunteer work at the middle school in town is keeping me busy but is rewarding.
Take care, I’ll be back before you know it.
