To quote the lyrics of Terence Michael Joseph Butler:
You’re searching for your mind don’t know where to start
Can’t find the key to fit the lock on your heart
You think you know but you are never quite sure
Your soul is ill but you will not find a cureOkay, okay, melodrama aside, every once in a while, I seem to get stuck in recharge mode. >_<’
While there’s nothing wrong with taking a break every now & then, er, recharging the batteries, one of my problems seem to involve getting stuck in the break. Waiting. Now, while resting is not a bad thing, waiting for some sort of a magical burst of energy that never arrives, is.
The frustrating part is, this is just another variation of “I don’t know what I want, but this isn’t it”. It’s one of my pet peeves. If I yanked out a teeth from a client every single time someone uttered a variation of “I don’t know what I want, but this isn’t it”, I could make some pretty disturbing… er… bling.
The fact that it took three weeks to sink in doesn’t help either.
**EDIT**
@distractedbyzombies brought up another fine point I forgot to mention.
Part of me kept thinking I should compensate for my absence by “returning” with the most incredible post ever. Needless to say, the passage of time & the incredibility of the post manage to sustain each other in something of a feedback loop.
I need to post something awesome to make up for the time I’ve gone without posting, but I need more time to think up of something awesome enough.

Stuck in the break. Oh yeah. Been there. I almost didn’t come back after some months off last summer.
I kept thinking I needed to come back with something equal to my idea of who I was here.
Resolve to be lame and jump in. That’s all there is to it.
“I kept thinking I needed to come back with something equal to my idea of who I was here.”
That too. I kept thinking my “return” should be the most awesome post ever. -_-
Absolutely, what @distractedbyzombies said. Resolve to be lame then jump right back in.
Also, you don’t owe it to anyone but yourself to post, and then only when you feel like it. Your blog is for you. That other people read it is nice, but not in itself necessary to blogging.
I’ve not been here long enough to warrant a break, but I truly understand where you are coming from. I’m taking a break from life, if that is at all possible. LOL.
I completely agree with @zombiemom_speaks comment. So very right on!
Nice to have you back.
break away, free up!
Yah. When I get super busy or real sick or almost sick I turtle up and everything is out of mind and out of sight. For a little while. If it were up to me… that little while would keep getting extended… which it sometimes does.
Better to have things that just keep you doing things… I never wanna go unemployed again. I could come up with my own work and probably make good money from good ideas… but I just don’t trust myself lol
Welcome back.
Interesting quote. Somehow I can relate.
