I think you should feel proud of your writing here, which has been really good, and also that pausing for a while is a good idea. Writing takes a lot of thought and attention and given how much has been changing in your life taking a break is an opportunity to see what else attracts your attention and benefits from that time.
Since I started writing here for 3ALBUMS6OLDGUYS, I have been absolutely gobsmacked by how long it takes to write a 10-minute read. Ive been up past midnight "finishing up the last 10 minutes of writing" many times. Go reclaim some time for other enjoyment, hope it helps!
Oh my goodness…this perspective! I just realized how wildly true it is that sometimes I spend two hours a day writing, and it is only ten minutes to read.
(I love writing so it’s time well spent…but like…wow. That conversion really hit home.)

Take care of yourself!
It's good to take some time away and just enjoy things, without feeling pressing deadlines - even for things you love!
Rest up Chase! Take as much time as you need, we'll be here when you're back!
I love that you are doing this for you.
Your writing is wondrous and engrossing and I’ve learned a lot from you (and about you) in these past three years.
Thank you for making this space, and for being so dedicated, and for modelling self care in a way that feels…good and safe.
I appreciate you, my friend, so very much.
I hope your vacation from writing rocks. 💖
(I’m totally going to tuck into the archives! And maybe…take a writing vacation of my own.)
