Of Burnouts and Birthdays

So today is my birthday. I am mumble-mumble years old. Really, the less said about it probably the better, but i did want to bring it up because as birthdays are wont to be , today is a time of self-reflection. I am so grateful to have this blog, it really has lifted me from a dark place. I know I can sometimes be a bit morose now, but trust me, it was much darker before. I was looking back at my posts in September and i realized that in just 22 days I have put up 43 posts. That’s almost two a day. That’s a bit overkill, no? 

Don’t get me wrong, I definitely LOVE doing this. ( I would so do this as a full time job if I had the chance) I am so grateful and honored to have people kind enough to like and comment on these posts.  But I also want t have a care with my welcome as to not wear it out. The last thing I want is people to see one of my posts in their feed and think “What? Him again!” I am almost phobic in my thinking that if I go 24hrs with out posting, everyone will leave. It makes me clingy and no one wants that.

So I am going to slow down for fall. (As best I can) maybe post every other day or something like that. I definitely want to have a long term relationship with you all, so maybe I need to not camp out by your doorstep. Anyway, the sun is shining here. The weather is clement and I am going to spend the day with my dear ones. Then tomorrow I am off to Saint Louis for a few days vacation. I know I’ll have a lot of posts come from it. So we will talk again soon. Just no more today.
