The end is near!
Can you believe that the end of 2016 is here already? This year has been packed with so much drama and sadness that we're all ready to see what the new year holds for us. There's not much going on with the blog at this current moment except that things are on pace for the end of the year and I am still going on my hiatus. That's pretty much the main question that everyone has been asking me every time they've spoken with me since I announced it. I don't think most people understand the purpose for said break and why I feel it's very necessary. I can break it down somewhat for you, but I feel there are people that still won't understand or acknowledge that it needs to happen. But for those sensible folks out there here are a couple of main reasons why I'm doing this:
1. I'm mentally
stretched at this current juncture of my life. | Even if I did want to say I
wouldn't be producing at the level in which I'm use to. There are a couple of
things that I have going on in my personal life that I need to handle, and while
writing is therapeutic for me, blog work has to take a backseat for awhile. It
takes a lot to run a whole blog by yourself. There's so much that goes into
making it successful, and while some of us have the luxury of quitting our jobs
to do this full time, I don't lol. There's a time and a place for everything and
right now blogging has to take a backseat to my other priorities. Plus I'm just
tired of the output that I've been producing over the course of the last three
years basically. It's time that I step back a bit and take some time to enjoy
this reset button.
2. I need to
get physically better. | I feel way off in the way I take care of my body.
If you didn't know by now, your body plays the most important role in being a
blogger. If you're physically in shambles then your mind will suffer because
it's trying to over compensate and produce too much that it doesn't have. Plus
with me working an actual physically demanding job I can't afford to fall off
too much more. So I'm going to be working on that a lot more than I currently am
and during that process I'm going to go through some extreme changes that's
going to affect the way I operate. Like I said before, running a blog takes a
lot and I won't be able to do that at that moment.
3. I need to do
some house cleaning up in this peace. | There is so much content on this
blog from over the years that I need to go back through and clean up a lot of
posts. I have this very, very bad habit of just posting and going. Now that
there are way more eyes than I would like on this place I know that I need to go
ahead clean up all of the grammatical errors and copyrighted pictures while I
can. I'm transitioning into the next phase and instead of deleting all of the
things that actually made people come here, (and continue to come here), I'm
going to go through and fix all of it and that takes time. I have a whole draft
folder and as some of my close confidants know, it's A LOT of things in there as
well. Basically I'm going to go just regroup a tad.
There are a couple
of other reasons but those are the main ones that folks need to concern
themselves with. It's just that time where every person who gets ready for the
next level takes to reevaluate things and get stuff together. I'm not doing
anything new that no one else hasn't done before. I know a lot of folks will
miss me and what not but I promise I will still be around and I will still do
stuff with my fellow creatives as I pointed out before. I'm not dropping off the
face of the earth completely. I will post any feature, podcast or vlog that I
grace for you all to keep you up to date with what's going on. I also decided to
keep doing monthly updates just so that you all know that I'm alive and what
not. So to that effect I will still be around doing stuff for other people that
I believe in; just keep your eyes open for it.
Hope all of that
clears up the air for you all. If you have any questions you know that you can
just either leave a comment below or send me a message on outlet that I have.
I'm here for you lol! I do want to apologize to folks to that I've recently
passed up on in terms of opportunities, but it's been really hectic in the last
month or two, but it's getting back to the schedule I'm use to. So I'll be back
around, slowly but surely.
Until next time.
