Disappearances
I suddenly missed this blog. But life has been life-ing, and work has been work-ing, and I accept that I have my ebbs and flows. (Probably why I can no longer sustain a community, except for the one community that I am required and quite happy to be in—my family.)
Anyway, lots of bookish things and bookish travel in the last few months. This is normal, given it’s my work. Also my hobby. Occasionally, that embarrasses me to admit, because should we not have a life outside of our work? But there it is and such is my lot.
(Ignore my dramatic phrasing. I enjoy both my work and hobby.)
But also, I find lately that when I don’t need to be “on” (for work, during events, socializing with bookish peeps, etc.), I prefer to be silent. I hoard my books, I read my books, I see and do bookish things, and I don’t want to talk about it with the greater public, outside of a few close friends in my DMs. That is all I have the energy for.
Sometimes I think it’s because my hobby is my work.
Anyway, documenting that I am still here and things are still happening, and I may disappear and pop back in or come back to regular posting. It’s a situation I won’t stress over.
But if anyone’s reading this, I hope you’re at a time in your life where you can have pockets of lovely, quiet time with yourself.
