Back from the Abyss
Akasha on May 28th 2008
Spring is really marching by isn’t it? Sorry for the minor absence there while we moved. I didn’t expect to be gone for so long but with all of the tasks that come along with moving to a new house (unpacking, painting, buying furniture, etc.) I found that I was no longer as interested in the internet life as I was before. This has been steadily growing for a few months, actually. I don’t think it’s that I’ve lost interest in the Internet. Rather, it’s what I do currently do online now that I’ve grown bored with, which is primarily the fanlistings.
With that realization, I started to scale back on what I do in the community - closing websites and resigning from the Senior Staff, as well as handing some of my other duties to different volunteers. I feel better about my future with TFL now that I’ve done that. I don’t want to leave entirely but I was concerned that with the path I was going down I would burn out. My main goal was not to cut and run - the community hates when that happens and as a senior member, that would have been a really crappy thing to do.
My future goals? I’m probably going to continue focusing on my blog, reshaping and retooling. I want to start promoting myself more, getting back into the community. People like Kya continue to amaze me with their unique style and I want to draw more inspiration and learn new things again.
Now that I’m living with G I also have to learn how to prioritize my tasks. I have a lot less time than I once did as a poor student living at home. It sucks cause I find myself having to do things like schedule time to see friends!
So that’s my life and mindset in a nutshell right now. Along with the new house, I have a new job at a really awesome company. I’m doing something more along the lines of what I can see becoming a career - I’ve always loved books (big surprise, eh?) so working at a publishing company is a real dream come true.
Also, I haven’t had a Diet Coke all month.
