A semi-unexpected break

Hi everyone, I hope you’re well and no this isn’t clickbait 💔. Today’s post may come as a surprise but long story short, I’m going to take a little blogging break…now for the long part to further explain! I’ve never gone away without telling you beforehand so right now you’re witnessing me keep up my side of the deal 😜😂.

I’ve been thinking of this for a short while, mostly in the early hours when I wake up but I tended to forget as the days went on so it was kinda expected but not so soon. I’m usually my most present in those moments and aware of what should happen so that started to drive me towards the idea and sold it to me.

What started as more of a relaxing retreat and also wanting to show myself that I can take time away soon melded into less of a choice because of my health. I so often forget that I don’t have to be here, I WANT to be here so that means it’s okay to take breaks too and I should avail of them without the guilt if that makes sense? Basically I’ve been reading the benefits of blogging breaks from top to bottom and I like what I see 😂.

I suppose I started considering it at the right time as that made the decision to take this step a lot easier! And seeing as my last break was back in December 2019 this is long overdue! 😲

My flare-ups have been taking control and don’t allow me to write/type or even read that well (which is annoying seeing as I only just got that book haul 🙄). To be honest it’s taking so much out of me to even type this right now as the words just all look so confusing. I was getting by on scheduled posts I had prepared whilst I was doing my Floristry course last month but now that I can focus more on this space I’ve found it tough to do so.

I really think that course took it out of me as it was very physical and maybe I should have built myself up to it? I’m glad I did it though as I enjoyed it and just need some time to allow my body to agree! I will regenerate whereas unlike doctor who, I’ll stay looking the same 🤷😂.

The migraine side of things has knocked it out of me and lately I’ve been in so much pain that when I’m free of it I don’t want to spend those fragments of time staring at a screen as then it’s just a downward spiral. When it’s not that it’s other things trying to take ahold but I was somewhat dealing with them and this has brought that to a standstill. There is something I’m getting in touch with my doctor about that I’m fearful of but I know it’s only right to get it seen to and that’s been on my mind as well so I want to nip it in the bud and hopefully get it sorted out.

It comes as a relief that I can step away and come back later on 😌. That might be sooner than expected as you know I have a warped perception of time after I told you that my kind of last minute when writing a post is the evening before in how to write a last minute blog post 🙈😂. Given my track record I won’t be gone a month as weeks feel like months when I’m away from this place so for me that time will go by fast! I’m hoping the circumstances will change that are pulling me away and the pain will dwindle down to a level that pacing can control.

The pandemic has really woken all of these ideas up in my mind, it’s crazy! I’ve started new hobbies, discovered goals and I have stuff to work towards that I’m really excited about. The pain is something of a barrier but not if I play my cards right and don’t mess it up.

This has been a huge place to depend on during lockdown and the events surrounding it and that’s strange to think about seeing as it’s always been somewhere for me to escape to from my pain when I’ve been housebound. I guess I want to see what this time of life is like without it as that would be interesting.

In that sense there’s no need to worry about me, I’m in a great mindset and am used to my chronic pain it’s just venturing though a bad stage right now to let itself be known. I’m going to keep up with doing other things I love which although may not be able to include posting, I will pop on here to read blogs I follow whenever possible as it would feel like a punishment if I couldn’t do that ✨.

I’ll keep on planning as I have some very exciting blogging things on the back burner! I would have shown you earlier but NOW you have to wait and knowing they exist proves to you that I’ll be back 🤣. Do you know what also proves this won’t be long? I’m yet to show you my September Favourite’s and you know I like to get that out of the way (makes me all edgy if I don’t 😂). Seeing as that’s something I cannot do right now this is the perfect time to cool things off for a bit and avoid any unnecessary stress (or an inconvenient feeling everytime I try).

Oh and incase you’re wondering (I was 😂), my drafted posts won’t go to waste either as none of them were really halloween themed whereas I have loads of festive ones (remember how last year I didn’t get to share them as I went on my break? Well they’ll be returning! 🎄).

It’s my birthday next month so I’ll most likely be here before then so that this won’t be my last post as a 21 year old 🎉. Away from here you’ll find me enjoying all things autumnal and I’ll continue to post on Instagram so as to maintain an outlet although it’s nothing like being here at all! 🍂

This was half thought out, half spur of the moment as I feel like it needs to happen so even if theirs a shred of doubt, it’s the best thing to do right now ✨. All in all a semi unexpected break is like a Hobbits unexpected journey but a lot less adventurous 😎😂.

I’ll see you soon and will be back with a bang 💥 I’ll miss you a lot but like I said, I’ll still be around 💫 Take care and I hope you have a wonderful day…or should I say next couple of days? 🤔 How about: Have a lovely time without me!…..no that’s not right or even possible now that I think about it 😏. Just have a good certain amount of days before my return! And remember I love you, it should keep you going 😂💞xx
