Long Arse Post
I feel like I don’t belong anywhere … in the blogging world. I don’t know how to explain it really. I don’t feel comfortable blogging at Dreamwidth anymore; though I have a couple of friends there I would still like to read.

I also think it is good to allow yourself a break, and whether it's a blog, or any other portion of our daily routines, it is important not to force yourself to do things unless "you feel like doing them". I know it sounds cliche, but it's important to not take pleasure away from hobbies, and make them become a chore as a result.
I personally write, whether it's letters, on my little notebooks full of random thoughts, or on my journal, because it feels natural to me, and because I need it as therapy (cheaper than a shrink!). But at the same time, there are times, such as last week, when I'm upset with myself, where I don't want to "immortalise" my bad mood or feelings by putting them into words. And those who stay in my life through thick and thin, well, I know I can count of them. Those who won't, I wish well.
I don't know if anything I've just said makes any sense, but all I can say is that, if it's of any consolation, that I can relate to what you've written. And that even though, in reality, I may not know exactly how you feel, that I *feel* I know how you feel.

Yeah, breaks are definitely a good thing, I agree.
I used to write in a handwritten journal but then I gave that up when I found online blogging. I just really enjoy typing ... no idea why... but yeah blogging has gotten me through some seriously rough times and it was definitely cheaper than therapy LOL I totally agree :D
Everything you said made perfect sense... thank you for your comment <3
