[hiatus notice] a brief goodbye and a contemplation of life
Dear my lovely comm watchers,
I'm taking a break. I never thoght that I would actually write a whole post about it (this has been sitting in my browser for a few days and I didn't know if I should post it) but it's very theraputic. I don't think I've ever posted about my personal life here but Tuesday was an awful day and in general, this year has been insane for me. I've had so many things change in my RL and everything kinda just came crashing down on me Tuesday.
I don't know how the election results will affect my life, or even if it will affect my life personally. (update 1/30/17: life is still a mess and this election season was just as bad as I thought it was going to be and that sucks.) But, I did some soul-searching and finally decided to get my priorities in order. I love iconing, I really do. I loved spending time at my computer, working on my graphics skills (which I've actually gotten to use in RL) and being creative. But RL is sucking the life out of me and regardless of this week/election results, I know that personally, I need to make changes in my life. I haven't been prioritizing my RL (although it's not like online stuff is taking over my life) and I just haven't been focused. I really need to be studying, writing essays, making friends, reading textbooks, etc. You know, boring stuff like that.
The only reason I am making this post is because I love and appreciate EVERY SINGLE COMMENT I have ever received here. I hope that all of you will continue to watch the comm since I plan on continuing with my multimaker comms and modding elite-inspired and will occasionally post here. Other than that, however, my presence in the iconing community will be limited. I just wanted to let you guys know that I really, truly appreciate every comment I've gotten since January 7, 2014 and will miss hearing from you. Every time I post something and don't repost to an icon-sharing comm and receive comments, it just makes my day so much better!!
I loved the four years I spent on the internet, I really did. But it's time to say good-bye for a bit - I will definitely be back. Here's to new beginnings!
