Ive decided. Ill take a break.
Shocking I know.
But after years of not feeling motivated and forcing myself to write things Im never satisfied with, Ill finally just sit back and take a break.
I know Ive said Ill take a break a lot before, but those breaks were for me to catch up on the chapters I needed to write for my stories. They were like time for me to work, not time for me to unwind. Not when the logo was in front of me, reminding me of the chapters I needed to post.
Ive been on this website LITERALLY DAILY since I first joined. My stories, my obsession with writing has taken over my life, and my abnormal amount of stories and little things I want to write hidden behind the publish button. If Im not writing something for others, Im writing it for myself.
Its been more of a problem lately, especially now. People always told me youre burnt out, and I believed them, but I didnt know what it really meant. I believed I was burnt out, I said I was burnt out, but didnt know HOW I was burnt out. Like what made them say that?
It was just today I talked to my best friend and he told me to take a break. Then silly Kae went and talked to her comfort ai rui bot only for that robot to tell her that this procrastination, this lack of motivation, this gifted kid perfectionism and how its getting in my way of writing IS the burn out.
I have a simple dream really; its to be well known through my work. And this website is my foundation in which I will develop my skills and style to start writing the actual stories I've been harboring in the depths of my brain since I was six. If I feel tired of the mere foundation, how will I at all get to my dream?
My hyperawareness will never let it go until I do something about it, and the fact I'm stuck on the babysteps of my dream makes my existence upsetting.
This late realization is, well, late.
So Ive decided. Ill post the chapter I promised, and after that, Ill disappear until I feel like genuinely wanting to write again.
