Well, it's done. I closed down my book review blog. Almost 6 years of my life, and I'm leaving something behind, and that's really hard to do. But the wheel has turned, and sometimes when things become too heavy to keep carrying them, all you can do is put them down and decide to keep on walking without them.
The door may be closed, but it's not locked, though. I'll probably still post a review there every now and again, when the mood strikes me. But it was taking up so much of my time that I felt guilty whenever I took time to do other things, like work on embroidery, or play video games.
Or write. I haven't done much actual writing in years, because of the effort I put into reviewing. So that fell by the wayside, and now I want to pick it up and start walking forward with that instead.
And to that end, I'm taking a little break from online stuff for a week, to step back and enjoy some of the other things in life that got shunted to the side. Probably most of this will involve marathoning some TV shows and playing video games, going for walks, that sort of stuff. And trying to remember that I don't need to feel guilty for doing any of them.
