In Case You Were Wondering…

by guera in Personal on 24 May, 2008

…where I’ve been for the last 2 weeks, well I’m still alive but needed to take a bit of a break from the blog.

The truth is, I’ve been dealing with some personal issues that I didn’t feel I could or wanted to share with the world in such a public way as blogging about it. Even though this is a personal blog, and I feel like the people who read and, more importantly, comment on my posts are friends, the thought of “complete strangers” knowing all my personal dramas was not something I felt comfortable with. At the same time these issues have been pretty all-consuming, leaving me little energy or focus to blog about frivolous day-to-day life stuff.

My apologies for such a cryptic post. I hope you understand that I’m not quite ready to talk about what’s going on here just yet. Maybe I’d be better off just spelling it all out rather than spark your curiosity and speculation (its alright, I would be curious too!). Perhaps I will soon, but for now I guess I need to deal with this offline.

I’m sorry I haven’t been commenting on your blogs either. I am reading them as much as I can and they are a welcome distraction!

Thanks to those of you who emailed or commented to see if everything was OK. I really appreciate your concern and it means a lot to me that you were thinking of me. I don’t want to lose the community I have found through this blog so I will try to keep blogging about our daily lives, as I have been doing. I think posting will be a bit light for a while though, so I hope that you will bear with me (and stay with me) until I can get back to some kind of normal.

(hugs) - I missed you . I didn’t want to intrude so I didn’t email you.
We are here when and if you are ready to share your burdens.
I understand blogging something personal is like telling 100’s of people and baring your soul on the internet is hard.
I am thinking of you.
I hope you hav renewed energy and things come together for you.
Take care Guera.

I was just thinking about you today. I hope everything is okay. I always feel better when I write things and you know what I almost always delete those posts. Well, or at least tone them way down if I feel like I must share it.

Take all the time you need. When you update we´ll all still be here ;) ((hugs))

Were your ears burning??? We were talking about you over at the Forum, cause we missed you. Take all the time that you need. I will keep checking my feed and if there is something new then that’ll be good, if not, I will just keep checking.

Take all the time that you need and I hope that you are OK. Catch you soon and HUGS :)

{{{HUGS}}} You have DEFINITELY been missed. But some things really are more important than blogging (shock, horror!). One of the things I LOVE about RSS is that I can keep up to date with blogs I enjoy reading without having the frustration of visiting often to find out. I don’t think you’ll lose any readers.

Hope things are okay and that you’re back soon. And feel free to share what you’re comfortable sharing and no more. I will try hard not to speculate. ;)

Oh I missed you too.. had to post on Aussie Bloggers in case I had missed something somewhere along the line… So glad to hear you are ok, and I totally get not needing or wanting to share every little bit of your life with the blog. Take as long as you need, we’ll all still be here when you get back into it! :)

Hey! The great thing about blogging is that it’s by you, for you! It can be whatever you need it to be.

Don’t worry about us. We’ll be thinking of you, and cheering you on, but just take care of yourself. We’ll still be here when you’re ready.

Does chocolate work for you?
