Hey everyone,
I will cut right to the chase.
I need a break right now. I am going through a tough time, and I need to set aside extra time to take care of myself. I've really wanted to continue posting on a regular basis, but I can tell that it's not the thing I need at the moment.
I have every intention of returning to Steemit in force soon. I am still committed to the people that read my content and the platform itself. I just bought a $1,000 camera to build up a home studio for vlogging, so I don't intend on falling off the face of the Earth!
I need to go back, read some of my own advice, and get back on track.
Thanks again to all of you that always show me love and support.
Talk soon,
Im glad to see you again, Chris! Its been a long time. I hope youre doing good now,
Oh my gosh ahahaha so much better now! Good to see you too! I am happy to be back.
Sorry for the late reply. I need to go back, read some of my own advice, and get back on track. This made me chuckle lol. Have a nice day, Mr. Wise man.
I'm sorry to hear you are going through a tough time and I hope that taking the time you need will help you sort through it all. All the best, rest and look after yourself.
Hey, @jusipassetti! I'll be sure to rest up. Then I'll be back with a vengeance! Just a minor road bump is all. Thanks for the support!
I have no doubt that you will bounce back stronger than ever @chrismccron - but yes, we all need a little bit of reprieve from time to time in order to replenish. Take care hon xxx
Hey, @Jaynie! I appreciate it. Yes, just need to replenish. I'll be back before you know it.
I will nag you if you don't come back soon enough ;)
(just teasing... kind of...) hehe
Lol... jaynie is full of love isnt she ?
This deserves a HUG @asianetwork hehe ;)
@chrismccron Sad to see you go bro. Anyhow, I wish you all the best and stay positive, no matter how tough the situation is...
Hey, @Wilhb81! Won't be gone forever. Or hopefully even too long. Just need some time to regroup. I'll be good soon enough. Thanks for the kind words.
As always, you have my support. I'll eagerly be waiting forth return post and keep you in my prayers. Hooo-ra.
Thanks so much @Spozone. Means a lot! I am happy to see so many people showing up to show support.
Hey work is keeping me so busy it's all I can do on steemit is maybe read through my feed and make a few comments, cast a few votes, and try to maintain a little involvement in the community here. I haven't quite figured out the magic of being able to invest hours to write whatever "good" content it is required to make a living from blogging on the block chain. I see people's wallets that certainly have and I'm jealous, envious even because some of their "good" content looks and reads like Basura. Looks like a duck to me... Quack quack. I guess the joke is on me or I'm just ignorant and need to acquire more knowledge or a better grip on society. LOL.. Like that will happen. I'll keep my eyes open for your words of wisdom whenever they appear and if they don't I'll be be saddened but wish you well.
I'm having withdrawals.... Hope you are well
Good on you, man! Way to make the self-care a priority. It's something that is too easily swept aside these days, especially on the addictive social media platforms. Go, take care of you and we'll see you when you return! If you happen to need support in the meantime, don't be afraid to reach out. May your break be restorative and inspirational. <3
I agree. It's too easy to push it to the side. I definitely will be doubling down on some self-care. Thank you for your kind offer of support! I think this will be a fairly quick break. I'm already feeling quite a bit better. Many thanks :)
Ah... I hope you're doing well bro. It's been awhile since I chat with you man! Whatever it is you're going through, I know you'll get through it. And if you need anyone to talk to, just holla on fb or discord. Anytime for you <3
Thank you @Zord189! I've been amazed how the community has shown up. It means a lot. I'll be good again before you know it. Looking to redouble my efforts at that point. Take care! <3
I absitively posolutely get where you're coming from. I'm sending tons of awesome, "back on track" vibes your way while...

Thank you @Deborism. The community has been great. Seeing all these comments show up meant a ton to me. Can't wait to get back to producing content on Steemit. Missing it a bit already!
Hey dude - don't let me go reaching 100% vests now. You need my auto-vote! And when I'm a super-whale, which I plan to be in the next few years, well, you know!
Who will I have to check in on me from time to time to tell me that I'm appreciated? Shit. I'm going to fall to pieces!
What's the road-bump? Maybe I can sit and listen to you for a wee while? You know? Impart some of my old-fartery agony-aunt wisdom on you? :)
You will be missed dude! - Looking forward to vlogging with you.
Hey @Raymondspeaks! Thank you for your awesome comment lol I'll be sure to always let you know that you are appreciated.
Road bump is just stress overload. Work mostly. Making some adjustments to get things moving in the right direction.
Vlogging will be a blast! I'm a little nervous, but I'll let it rip ;)
Hey bro @chrismccron it's okay to take some time out to rest and regroup and I believe you will bounce back even bigger and better. Please just let me know how I can make that period full of life and fun for you, I will do anything. Xoxo
Thank you @TheLoveJunkie. That's kind of you. I am finding the fun and joy in things again quickly. Just needed a quick moment to stop and reflect a bit. :)
Hope you come back soon!!! Enjoy your break!
Thank you, @kimmiecfields. I will be sure to soak it all in and enjoy the time off.
EVERYONE of us needs a break sometime! Enjoy your time away and your new camera! How exiciting! Your #steemitbloggers "family" will be here when you return! 😊
Thank you! I've been playing with it a bit already. It has been a lot of fun. The #steemitbloggers definitely live up to the name of "family" with how they have shown up for me in this post! All the best to you!
Hey Chris, whatever it is that you are going through, remember your friends here are wishing well for you and praying that all goes well at your end. We are here for you and hope your bump turns into a smooth patch soon. <3
Thank you, @Sharoonyasir. It's already smoothing out. I am glad that you're all here through thick and thin. :)
I hope you can sort things out and will feel better soon! Wishing you all the best
Hey @TripsWithTam! Thank you! It has been great to see you join us. Thank you for your warm wishes. You have a fantastic day.
Thanks, you too :)
Recognizing that you need the break is the healthiest thing! It is great that you are in touch with your needs at this point and I wish you luck in dealing with things. Good luck and we will see you again soon!
Thank you, @Byn. It means a lot to hear from you! I will deal with all of this in time. It's nothing too major. Just needs some extra attention. :)
listen to your guts, honey - if they're telling you to take a break, you best do it!
<3
Yep! Gotta listen this time. It's a must. I appreciate the support.
Take all the time you need @chrismccron. Steemit will be here when you are refreshed and ready to start writing again! Best wishes to you!!!
Thank you, @Kechiah! You've been a great new addition to the group. I will be ready before you all know it! Take care!
sometimes we all just need a break to regroup our thoughts and energy. Stay positive and focus on the positive things in life and you will be back in action and rearing to go in no time. Remember always that we are behind you and awaiting your return. Go well and see you soon.
Thank you! I was afraid to take a break, because it felt like all my Steemit momentum would disappear. I can see that isn't the case now. You've all shown up for me in such a big way!
I'll rest up and come back with a vengeance!
thats the spirit, and we'll be waiting that's a promise!
Have a good rest, and we will be waiting for you to get back soon. Wishing you everything of the best!
Thank you! Love your username by the way hahaha
I appreciate the well-wishes. I will be sure to come back soon.
hey Chris, it's okay to give yourself a break. I took a very long break when i was emotionally drained. A 3 months break in fact! and only came back blogging because my work has to do with it. Take the time you need, and we will look forward to seeing you. Gather some of your thoughts, go somewhere to get inspiration. Maybe just read a good book! Hope it helps.
Breaks are great and necessary. It sucks when you get bogged down and try to just keep slogging through it. I am happy to hear that your break was a productive one.
I'm doing all kinds of great things for myself that are restorative. I should be good again in no time.
Have a great day!
I totally understand needing a break, just wanted to drop in and say that I miss your posts!
