Taking a break from Blogging, Taking a Break from Dating
Break from blogging
This has been a long term problem I’ve had with blogging and writing. I don’t know why I’m doing it and not passionate anymore. I think it’s simply burnout. Or pandemic fatigue. Writing hasn’t felt fulfilling for a while. The blog’s anniversary is coming up on the 25th, and other than that, I have nothing to write about. Nothing is burning inside to motivate me. My life has been pretty repetitive due to the pandemic and not much inspires me. This isn’t due to the depression I deal with or any other health problem. Maybe this need to write will come back later after I get vaccinated and as things open again, and I can have a full life with experiences to draw from.
I simply don’t know why I do this. So I’m going to take a break from blogging. I plan on one more post for March on the Blog anniversary on the 25th, and a post on my birthday on April 3rd. After that, nothing is planned. I’ll see how I feel then.
Break from dating.
I am also taking a break from dating. This has already been going on recently as I’ve paused my profile on the dating apps I use. I haven’t had success or many matches on Bumble, Tinder, or Hinge. Then again, I haven’t really used them much, or been interested. Even women I was attracted to in the past I don’t feel attracted to. I’ve never liked dating, I don’t like meeting new people, and I feel the rejection has made me bitter. Even thinking about opening the apps is nauseating. Even if I won the dating lotto and met someone today (Not likely), I’d feel like “whatever”.
I’m not ready to date. Dating feels like a gigantic waste of time for little reward.
With everything I’ve learned about dating and relationships the past year, instead of motivating me to improve, it’s turned me off dating and women because of how they act in that area of life. It’s like they are employers, and you are going into a job interview with no/little idea of what they want or who they are, and they want you to conduct the interview too. I don’t see how this adds to my life in anyway that friends or family don’t already do. It’s not worth it. The older I get the stronger I feel about this. Maybe this is permanent. For now, I’m not putting any effort into changing this. (It would take a lot… I have overwhelmingly negative experiences with dating.)
Meh.
Well, that was real positive…

It’s is positive thinking when a person knows that he or she has reach the point of burn out. This pandemic has been both negative and positive. I find myself posting less but when I do I make sure it’s meaningful. Enjoy your birthday 🎉 and take the time you need for self.♥️

I am sorry that I am only getting here now to read this.
Sometimes we DO need to take a break, and regroup within ourselves.
I still love to write, but also find days where I am uninspired, and unable to. And then I just shake my head, wondering how it can be a passion of mine, and yet I can still feel so ‘lost’.
Let me tell you this though : you’re GOOD at writing, and I believe your creative juices WILL flow again.
Until then, take the time you need. ❤
(I am not much of a dater at all these last couple of years, so I can't really give advice in that aspect, ha ha ha! All I can say is that YOU are important, and so you need to keep focusing on YOU. Everything else will follow 😉 )

Thank you so much! I felt guilty after the last time you responded to a post, and I replied with an emoji. (Glad to see this is anxious thinking.) With the little bit of the break so far, it’s no wonder I need time off. And as for dating, I feel I’ve learned more about it by proxy… From learning work/job skills and writing. 😁

Please don’t ever feel guilty about the way you respond to me – I am not easily offended, and I definitely understand that somedays there just aren’t words. I’ve got you covered 😉
Here’s hoping that the time off is really helping, and that you will be ‘back with a bang’ in no time 😉
