So it's time for a little break.

My finals are over, and I'm now free for pretty much the whole month of May. However, I'm pretty much going to take a break (for the most part) from this place, as well as a few other things. I'm still going to be around here lurking and doing some modly things (such as Who's that Pokemon), but don't expect me to be posting much around here for the next week or so.

The reason being is mainly because of my attitude and how I've been feeling lately. I've brought myself down so much these past few weeks, and I feel like it was more than just because of finals. It's been happening both in real life and online, but... here's the thing. PokeCommunity for a while has pretty much been a stress reliever (for the most part) whenever my life in real life is hitting some sort of fan. However, it seems that when I've been online speaking to people lately, I've just felt worse. Tonight I simply decided to not come by here, and go on GPX to mass click. And might I tell you that I feel better right now during this time than I have been the past few nights?

Lately... everything has been getting to me, and I've been feeling offensive to... little things these days lately as well. I know to some people I've said 'I'm okay, everything is fine' because well... I just feel like it's just me wallowing in self-pity and letting my self-confidence take a toll. In fact, my confident in my abilities as a mod took a toll from what someone said, but I'm not going to say anything about it. You can try to get me to tell you, but I'm not saying anything. It's something petty anyways, and I'm sure they didn't mean for me to feel that way. In fact, it was probably just me being a moron and (believe it or not) just thinking the worse.

There's so... so much more reason (or rather, more explanation) as to why I'm taking this break. But to be honest, I'd rather not say too much in fear of my saying something stupid. I don't want anyone commenting on this saying 'yeah, you look/sound like you need a break' or anything of the sort, because that's just going to cause me to take another toll. I don't need anything of the sort. However, I am going to say that if I have offended you in any way, shape, or form these past few weeks, I'm sorry. You can say I haven't been myself lately.

For anyone questioning on what else I'm taking a break from (as mentioned in the first place) well... it's going to be MSN Messenger. I've been a moron and a jerk on messenger just as much as I have been on here, and I've even caused someone to feel like I'm mad at them. They already know this, but I definitely took a toll there, wondering what the hell I've become. I just... need a break from conversing with people, really. I'm probably going to be closing off VMs (not like I receive many anyways), so if you really need to contact me, PM me. Again, I'm going to be lurking and doing modly duties, but I'm not going to go around posting too much. I'd rather people just PM me about more important stuff... but yeah.

... That's it.

On a different note, you have about 42 (more like 41) more hours or so until the first 'Who's the Pokemon' ends. If you haven't guessed which Pokemon it is yet, then you better hurry.

And... since this is a blog entry I'm going the Symphonia 30 days. Don't click the spoiler if you don't bother with memes/not serious/blah blah blah stuff.

Awww... I'm going to miss you

I hope you feel better soon~

I hope this break does you good, Tara. I look forward to seeing you back to being energized and amazing as per usual. Take the time you need~

If you need a break, then take a break. Even if you wanna take a DLoA like some others have recently, we'll watch your area until you feel ready to take things on again.~ Good luck with things.

Take as long as you need. My PM box is open if you need to rant about anything still. I'm here for you.

I'll hold down the fort keeping Went and Shivi and Nick and Luke and any other SMods I forgot busy with reports from the Trivia sections :P

Thanks Sammy. You too, Anna. Hopefully my 'chipper' side will be back.

I'm fine with coming here and doing Modly things, because for the most part it doesn't really require much general interaction that some of the threads in OT and MSN have, which is the majority of the problem. Thanks though. If comes a time that I can't even handle moderating I'll consider a DLOA.

Dondon you forgot about Netto. Shame on you. Again, I'll be lurking and handling mod stuff.

derp...

Good luck with your break. We all need a refresher sometimes.

Everyone needs some time to rest every now and then. I know I'm a bit late replying, but please don't feel the need to come back here unless you know you're truly ready to return. If you need someone to chat to, my PM box will be open and I will attempt to get on MSN every now and then.

Until then, have a nice break!
