This is Me Saying Hello
Tuesday August 16, 2016
I am typing this out and I am going to finish it and I am going to post it within a 24hr period.
This probably won’t be some opening of floodgates followed by post after post of new content. I’m not going to even entertain the idea. But I did want to say a little about why I had my longest hiatus ever and divulge personal information that’ll likely make me cringe after posting it.
My creativity is dampened. This is in connection to the chronic pain I’ve had since October of this year. When something terrible happens to you there’s this idea that it’s temporary. Because usually it is; but not in my case at this point in time. So, I’ve had a few treatments and my current treatment I like. It helps and the side effects are minimal. But it does influence how I approach my life and my personal, creative projects have somewhat suffered. It’s not just this blog. It’s literally everything. It’s hard to find that high from accomplishment right now. It mostly just feels bittersweet at best when I complete something. It doesn’t mean I don’t want to do them. I want to blog. I want to create videos and update my Instagram and have home projects again. I want to plan vacations. It’s just that currently those things feel exhausting. So I have to tackle them in a very prioritized way so that they are enjoyable.
But holy shit do I miss this blog.
And I miss you guys.
And I want to UPDATE U P D A T E UPDAAATE.
I have a few old posts I wrote months ago I want to put up. So I think in order to move forward I’m gonna keep things really low key. Things might be really unstructured.
And there’s not 1 thing I’m “good at updating.” Everything is subject to latency for me right now. The best way to get a hold of me right now is send my Tumblr an Ask.
My Instagram is updated pretty much each weekend.
Oh, I’m on Twitter again, a lot. Because it’s an election year. You can @ me and I’ll probably see it.
I’ve also opened up my snapchat (happiijenny) and lately have been doing snap stories of magazines (I no longer have a scanner.)
I thought I’d share some music I’ve been listening to lately with end of summer vibes.

I, too, took a huge hiatus from a lot of things that I used to love because I got stuck in a rut because ~life~. I’m glad that you’re back and I hope things only get better here on out! :)

Welcome back Jenny!
It’s good to time some time off sometimes to take better care of your body and refresh your mind and soul.
I see you seemed to have had a great time in Toronto. (I live in Toronto) I’m glad you were able to go on a small trip to relax. Hope things work out for you soon! =)

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs- Completely understandable that creativity/esteem might suffer when you’re too busy feeling yucky. Glad you’re feeling more yourself now. Welcome back! :)

Take things at your own pace. I’m looking forward to when you feel happy blogging again!

Man, I’ve been following your blog for so long I don’t even remember how I found it. (probably the magazine scans lol!) Your blog is my inspiration and it’s what made me want to go back to blogging because me loving your blog made me realize that people still enjoy blogs out there.
But it’s okay if you don’t update as much as you used to. Will follow your blog as long as the link sushi-cat.net takes me here :p
Stay True! Stay Happy!

Take your time with blogging and welcome back! x

Aww! *sends 100 gentle hugs* I’ve surely missed reading your blog, but your wellbeing is much more important. If anything, I follow you on instagram and cure my withdrawal by looking at your beautiful pictures there. :)

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and may your new year be filled with happiness and more glitter! Hope the chronic pain continues to improve.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been here. I’ve neglected blogging too. I think it’s a mix of “life” and kind of losing the motivation as more commercial blogs come around
