Entry #36
Yeah, today is my third year on this site. Since I signed up, I have always enjoyed being here. Wasting my nights in here, laughing, having fun... I liked it. I really did.
But, lately, I haven't. It isn't that I don't have time anymore, I could always squeeze a few minutes in here to do whatever. But I'm just not motivated to do this anymore. I don't have that old willingness I used to have back in 2007, 2008, earlier this year... I think I just realised what I was doing here everyday... And that would be nothing.
Yes, nothing. All I did was some meaningless things, like if it was automatic. I wasn't liking it. It was all too fake (!), I could say. Basically, I felt like I was wasting my time in here, while I could be doing much more away from here.
I have quite a lot at hands right now. I have a course every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, that takes my whole afternoon and tires me a lot. This is all for a test that I am going to do by the end of the year, to get in the best college where I live (it's pretty good, Brazil-wide). I won't go much further, but all in all, this takes me a lot of time, and it should be taking more, if I was a dedicated student (a.k.a I-don't-like-studying-but-I-pass-every -year-with-good-grades... somehow). Also, lately I've been thinking about my future, what I'll do in life etc...
All of this leads me to one way; semi-retiring. If it's doing no good right now, why insisting on it?
I'll still try to remember depositing every day (it takes me a minute or so, duh), but I will no longer post, not even lurk anywhere. This could last until the end of the year, maybe for the whole vacation period, maybe forever.... Who knows. What I'm sure of is that I won't be around for now. Maybe I'll miss being here after a while, but I really need this "break".
So, yeah. Bye for now, see you sometime.
+1 good bye news post.
