Enjoying a Break

I used to see my time away from writing as a negative, something that would burden me in one way or another. I still feel that I need to write something, but I now know that I'll always return to it and get something out there. It isn't the first time I've felt like I have nothing to say, and I know that isn't true, I have plenty to say. I just don't feel like saying any of it.

I've been ensuring that curation hasn't suffered as a result of this lack of will to write, and soon I plan on doing something big again to help support minnows and give them a larger place on this massive network, so keep an eye out for that. Many might remember that last year I gave away 500 Steem followed by several delegations that lasted a few months, I plan on doing something similar again real soon, but perhaps just based on delegations via some form of competition that gets people really creating and working hard for that delegation.

College is getting a bit tiresome, I don't feel at all challenged, nor do I really find most of it fun given the assignments are based on being an individual creating their own idea and getting graded based on the individual's creation. It doesn't make much sense to me, since filmmaking is such a social process. That said, I'm glad to be there. Even if I'm not all that motivated. I'm getting the highest possible grades I can get so far, so that's a positive. Another positive is that it seems the time is passing quite quickly, so it might just be over sooner than I think.

Because of college, I'm basically a peasant now. It's a bit depressing since I'm patiently waiting for the upcoming months where some film work is seemingly waiting for me, but it still feels a bit too distant. I did reach 4k SP but capitalism's favourite time of year came and I had to sell off nearly 1k Steem to afford Christmas presents for people. I'm trying not to touch stocks or Steem since they're essentially savings at this point. Last resorts.

Photography is something I'm still trying to continue doing, but this country has been too cold and dark early for me to consider getting out there a lot, especially after a boring day of college classes. I do want to keep being creative, but the weight of the world is kind of kicking me in the dick and keeping me distracted. For example, I've been watching things, and I want to write about them, but I have to write about research stuff for college, and then I have to attend the classes, and then shoot a shitty individual project within a week or so.

Anyway, this little rant is over. Things will be getting a bit more active on here from me, again. And I look forward to creating some form of competition to hand out the 3,000 SP I have to delegate. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying a little break away from forcing myself to write all the time.

It's easy to forget how mentally draining keeping up on writing can be. I only post two to three times a week at most. Pair that with my day-job it's enough to feel it after a while.

Hope the break does you good.

Thanks. I can't imagine how tiring it is to write constantly while dealing with a full-time job and everything else that life brings. Especially when what you write contains so much effort and preparation to bring in that quality.

Take your time and back with full force when you feel yourself ready for it. ;)
