Real life time! Taking a break to work on my mental health!

Good day to you!
December is one of the most amazing months in my life! I love Sinterklaas (Google that lol) and Christmas and everything that comes with it. All the dinners and seeing family and friends.... BUT...
I have also learned to see and feel when my mental health needs to be taken care off.

My levels have been all over the place and sadness keeps messing with my brain. After dealing with mental problems for many years thought me to recognize the right moments to be super selfish and focus on ME. That time has come. I am tired, broken in many ways and I refuse to fall back in the pitch black hole I call my darker side. While I embrace the days that I feel down and anxiety keeps poking her head around the corner, I now have many handles to keep me from going there.


What I need is a break! And that is what I am going to do. While I love this online life, I love my offline life even more. This means that I wont be here much and when I am here, I'll only focus on what makes me happy! I won't do any shows on discord till the New year finds my door. I will post when I feel like it and I will stay in touch because I am, after all addicted to whaleshares! This also means I am canceling the 8 hour marathon show I was going to do for Christmas.


I am not sure how much time I will put into curation at this time but I will try to keep posting contests in the POD! I will see how I will handle things in the new year! You see, right now, I just want to focus on what makes me happy and not what I need to do. Online can wait, my mental health can'T!
It's that simple really!


In fact, I am going to make a list for myself to see what I really want to do in the new year online. What makes me happy and what pulls me down. Is being a community leader what I want or is that making me feel more stress than I can handle? I am sure that I will find the answers during my quest offline and when I come back fully, changes will be made.


So, this is not a see you next year post because I will be here. Just not as much and only when I really feel like it! What I really enjoy doing are the 99 word stories and seeing I am creating one big story with them all, I want to keep doing them. Maybe, you might feel that I am taking some distance and reply very late. I just hope you know that I am not ignoring you, not one of you!


I learned to ALWAYS listen to my body and soul and that is what I am going to do!
