During the holiday season, I took two extended breaks from blogging, writing, and social media. It was probably the best way I could recuperate and rediscover what really matters to me and not to everyone else.

It was a much-needed break but, I didn't realize how much I truly needed it, even if it was just to take a breather away from the screaming snow white glare of a screen. The ill effects of looking at a screen for too long are ones I had only heard about and not experienced myself, up until this past year.

The more time you spend on the internet, the more you allow it to eat away at you. 



Coming back to my daily routine of sitting in front of a computer and reading through Reddit, Facebook, and/or Twitter reminds me how much work goes into every post I create, write, edit, and post. No matter who does or doesn't read what I publish is irrelevant in comparison to the reasons as to why I write in the first place.

I enjoy writing.

I find it cathartic. I somehow find solace while diving into the idea of reading an article or post, learning something new, and then putting my spin on it or talking about what it all means to me.

It's the equivalent of talking to myself out loud, which, I admittedly do, without appearing to be completely out of my mind.

This year, I want to become the best blogger, writer, and creator I can be. I've put a lot of work into this endeavor and it's time to legitimize what I've been working towards.

I hope everyone enjoyed their New Year's celebrations. I look forward to this year and what it may bring.
