Okay, so I almost made this post last night, but I thought it was a bit rash. Now, I’ve been thinking about it, and I now see that it’s a good idea.
I love you guys all so much. You mean the world to me. I’m just tired of giving and giving but not getting enough in return. Relationships should be cyclical. A gives to B, B gives to A, A gives back to B, and so forth.
I’m just tired of giving to the point where I’m empty. I wanted this blog to be a safe, positive, life giving space where we, as a community, love and support each other. However, I know I’ve seen my mental state take a turn for the worse since I re-made this blog. Now, this isn’t to blame this blog for all my problems. I love this blog. I love all of you, but the stress and the lack of support has really impacted my current state for the worse.
In a place that I created specifically for friendship and support, I find only isolation and discouragement. I’ve thought about returning my blog to its former glory, by writing for a specific character and that character only, but I'm simply not inspired to write for that character at the moment. I wish I was, though. I made so many friends when I wrote before, but now, people don’t see me as enough.
I wanted to be part of another community where I’d feel a little less alone, but I haven’t found what I was hoping for yet. So, I need time to recuperate and recharge. Being empty, I’ve learned, has a dangerous effect on my mental and physical well being.
This is why I’ve decided to go on an indefinite hiatus.
Between the 72% decrease in notes and the 3% interest in things I write (yes I calculated the statistics), I’m tired of it all.
I’ll be around for the next few days if anyone has any questions, but after that, I’ll be gone for a while. Contrary to what some people think, I do have a busy life.
I need to rethink this entire blog. Maybe it was a mistake to come back. I thought it was a good idea because I kept getting asks about my fics on my main, but the statistics speak for themselves. Sometimes, things aren’t what you think they are. I’d hate to do that after all my hard work, but I don’t want to clog up people’s dashboards and favorite tags.
So, goodbye for now. I’ll see you guys soon. Much love. ♥
