The Little Hater

Whenever I take an extended break from blogging, I try to avoid apologizing for it on my return. Because that's boring. This video by Jay Smooth, however, is not boring, and perfectly describes what's kept me from here. Thanks to Karen, my guru/role model, for sending it to me.

Yup. That's it. I think the lesson here is "don't take a break," but that's easier said than done.

I'd love to hear from you guys: does this happen to you? What do you do about it? In addition to the perfectionism/guilt spiral, I also begin to believe, without fail, that everyone is mad at me. Everyone! I realize this is insane, but the insane part of me still believes it.

More soon, including an ANNOUNCEMENT (all caps!) coming next week.

I agree with Asha about posts after an absence feel like a gift from a long lost friend. I always wonder what people are doing when they take a break especially one that is unexpected.

This video is perfect. It's weird how I go through life thinking these exact thoughts, convinced I'm alone and here he/you are expressing my inner thoughts. So thank you.
