ttfn

blogger and i have been going through a bit of a rough patch, and i'm afraid to say that it's steadily turning into a love-hate relationship. i'm sick of my own voice, and maybe it's because i don't have a lot of great things to say right now . . . or, more likely, because i don't have great results to post, mentally or physically. maybe it's guilt, but then again, maybe it's because mercury is in retrograde (even though i have absolutely no clue what that means).

whatever the reason, when i read back over my own words i cringe. and when i imagine what words i'm going to type next (still being fat still sucks/surprise! i'm still struggling/lame excuse for getting nowhere #252/incident #99 has obliterated my confidence), i cringe.

this year has given me so many wonderful highs, for which i am immensely grateful, but overcommitting has seen some of my former pleasures suffer - my job, some relationships . . . fattyblogsticks, my health - and i find myself feeling completely stale. when you're a super-sensitive, self-proclaimed creative, 'stale' is one of the most punishing states of being. stale does not produce beauty or originality. stale does not produce posts that are warm, funny or inspiring. stale does not like the word stale.

with a big trip sneaking up, i had anticipated a blogging hiatus, but i've decided to take an early breather. my greater goals are still in place (healthy eating/exercise) and i hope to come back here, refreshed, in a couple of months.

most of the time this outlet has been an absolute joy. something that never fails to inspire me, and make me smile, is reading your blogs. i'd love my beautiful followers to hang around while i'm away, but it's up to you.

hopefully see you on the flipside.

much love,
fb xx

  2. Sometimes a break is just what we need - relax, refresh, renew. Good luck, hope to hear from you again soon! ♥

  3. :-( You just need to be you. You don't HAVE to be funny or inspiring. Sometimes I can read a post and somebody is dealing with disappointment or felling "stale".
    As readers, sometimes we just need to know that we're not alone in our struggles, our disappointments, our crazy. There is value in that too.
    Only you know what's best for you, but whatever you choose, I'll still be around here.

  6. don't feel like you "have" to do or be anything. do what's best for you. if you need to take a break or even stop blogging, go ahead. if it's more of a pain in the butt, then it's not worth it. I do hope we see you on here, if only as a commenter. I will be here if and when you decide to post some more.
