Although it has been over a year since my relationship ended, part of me misses the affection and playfulness of being with a partner. The other part of me knows that I'm not ready to be in a relationship at this stage. I'm okay with a break.
Having friends to talk to, keeping busy with my hobbies, and putting my thoughts down in this blog have been more than helpful. However, there are some days where I want to be by myself, lay in bed, and do nothing. I want to take a break from doing hobbies and blogging. I simply enjoy doing nothing.
And, it's okay. I work hard. Downtime is okay.
So, I have missed a blog post here and there. I know that there is no need to justify why. I'm good. I just need some downtime for myself now and again.
I like seeing your posts, but I would never count it against you if you skipped some. And, everyone needs down time and even alone time. You have my permission (FWIW) to get a good book or something and just take time for yourself.
ReplyDeleteThanks, RP. I like taking brief blogging breaks. I"m not seeking permission. This post was to sort out my having off days and taking care of me.
DeleteI often feel society pressures us to constantly be "working", even during our down time; the pressure to always be on via hobbies or creative pursuits or other things. We all need time to recharge and there is nothing wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteBest,

Yes, I tend to be constantly on the go and working. Keeping busy. I agree that it's okay to take it easy and to take some time for some much needed self-care.
