Hello everyone, and thanks for having stuck around!
I’ve been MIA for almost a year from here, but I’m slowly starting back up on my online activities and social media presence. I’ve been taking it slow, but I’m getting back into my groove for sure. I actually hadn’t even touched my laptop for months!
Needless to say, this pandemic has been hard on everyone in different ways, and we’ve all dealt with it differently. For me, it looked like a break from talking to pretty much everyone, not being online, and unfortunately, not even reading very much. But that was what I needed at that point in time. So that’s what I did. I have no regrets about it, and neither am I apologetic about it. I wrote a review every week for almost three years here, and I know I felt really bad not continuing something I’d committed to doing. Committed to myself, and you, my readers.
As the days turned into weeks and then into months, I started to accept that this was something that was probably not going to happen at that point in time. And so I stayed away and gave myself permission to take my time. Once I did that, I felt much better – I felt like the pressure was off. Which was essentially just pressure I was putting on myself. So yeah, I was away and now I’m back. And regular posting shall commence once again. Hopefully, I’ll stick to my schedule of posting every Monday, but since I’m just starting again, I’m gonna give myself some leeway in the beginning.
In case you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you’ll be able to see updates there as per usual, whenever I put up a new blog post. Oh, and maybe after a while I’ll be able to record some podcast episodes again too, who knows? Pretty much gonna just take it easy and see where things go. Oh, and if you want to join me in reviewing some books and contributing to this blog, hit me up!
