Taking a Much-Needed Break: My Journey Back to Writing
Written on
Chapter 1: Where Have I Been?
Hello everyone! Yes, I’m still here and doing well.
Update on My Recent Absence
Greetings to all! If you’ve been curious (or perhaps not) about my whereabouts over the past month, I made a spontaneous decision to take a mental health break. While I firmly believe in the importance of consistency and perseverance, I felt it was essential to step back from social media and pause my storytelling for a bit. After all, how can I call myself a writer if I don’t heed my own advice?
With spring arriving, I couldn’t resist reconnecting with friends and soaking up positive vibes with my wife. It’s been absolutely wonderful.
By the way, can we take a moment to discuss Helldivers 2? I am completely obsessed with it! At this point, it feels like an addiction. If you’re interested in a review or want to chat about it, leave a comment! I might write one regardless, but I’d love to know if anyone is interested, given that game reviews aren’t my usual fare.
Recent Changes in My Life
Things have been a bit uncertain at home lately. I’m currently job hunting, which means I’ve been spending a lot of time on LinkedIn, sending out my résumé and reaching out to potential employers every single day. It’s challenging, but I’m managing.
This break has actually turned out to be beneficial for my creativity. I’ve given my mind—and more importantly, my subconscious—some time to process the stories and scripts I’ve been developing. I plan to return to my regular writing schedule this week, aiming for one or two posts weekly. It feels amazing to get back into the groove, and I’m excited to share what I’ve been contemplating during my time away.
Sometimes, taking a step back is exactly what you need to propel yourself forward. It’s refreshing for the soul. Remember to give yourself a break when necessary—life is too short not to.

Cheers!

Chapter 2: The Power of Taking Breaks
The first video titled "Shaboozey - A Bar Song (Tipsy) [Official Visualizer]" captures the essence of unwinding and enjoying life. It perfectly complements the themes of relaxation and creativity I've been exploring.
The second video, "Cole Swindell - You Should Be Here (Official Music Video)," resonates with the idea of cherishing moments and connections, reinforcing the importance of taking breaks to appreciate life.
