    As time goes by

    Hey guys, I don't know how many of you are reading this, or if anyone really cares but I guess this is an important thing for me personally.

    There was a time where this helped me... a lot. I grew and changed and improved and I am so thankful I made all this stuff, all this writing. There was also a time where I could commit to the writing. I was so eager to keep writing fics.

    Alicon 2018! Con report/update/thanks to all!

    Well... what an eventful week I have had. Firstly I would like to apologise to all the people who found this on FIMFiction, the amazing people who have been waiting for me to publish stuff where... I just haven't been able to do anything. Once again, university on top of being a part of Alicon has just made my life incredibly busy and it's going to be like that for a while. Please bear with me

Things are getting hard, I am taking a small break · 10:50am Mar 18th, 2018

In a clear act of genius, I decided to make my major Literature this year and from here on forth. This is great, I'm loving my degree and I finally have a lot more passion for my full education degree now I am learning what I want to teach. I couldn't be happier on that front...

However...

My life has devolved into wake up, read my university readings, get up, read messages and talk to my friends briefly before I go to uni, get to uni and do more reading and writing as part of my assignments and readings. I check my phone and read read read. I write some more uni stuff, I go home and finally get to do some reading that I enjoy. I might go to a friends house and do some more writing for uni and work on some more reading. I'll get home and write out messages and do paperwork. If I am lagging behind in the reviewer's cafe then I will read and write out a review for a fic. Then and ONLY then I will write about 50 words towards of one the stories I am working on and crash.

My entire world right now revolves around reading and writing, and whilst I really do love the written word, I'd have to have a sexual fetish for it in order to expose myself to the copious amounts I have to do during the day.

Something has to give. It's getting kind of ridiculous and my love of writing is quickly turning sour, I REALLY REALLY don't want that to happen. Not only am I not enjoying it anymore but I don't feel like what I am writing is up to the standard I want it to be. So I am refraining from any fiction during the more intense parts of uni. Holidays are in about 3 weeks and who knows, hopefully, I will be refreshed and ready to go. This is far from a goodbye and gets lost, just a see you all later!

I love you all and I'll see you for my next chapter :raritywink:

Hey, I get it. If you need to set this aside to fill out a top priority, then do so. Your readers can always wait. If you need to tell others that you need a break, say so. We understand.

You are an exceptional writer and if you need a break then take one. Like how Mr. CrackedInkWell said we will understand and those who love and enjoy your writing will support you. Never feel like you have to push yourself to meet expectations. Teachers who inspire realize there will always be rocks in the road ahead of us. They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how we use them. Your path may be rocky now but it depends on how you see it; are they there to make things difficult or to test your resolve and become a source of strength? I am glad you also want to be a teacher if you have ever seen the series Assassination Classroom you will have heard the saying at one point, "If I wasn't prepared to be flexible as the situations demands, I wouldn't have become a teacher."
Don't worry about life because, "The might current of society is bound to get in your way and there will certainly be times that things don't go as you'd hoped. When this happens, don't look to society for a cause. Do not renounce society. Frankly, you'd be wasting your time. Instead just say, "That's life!" and muddle your way through with frustration. Once you're past it, consider: If society's swift current is tossing you around, how should you be swimming there in its midst. You don't always have to stand and face it head-on. You can run and you can hide. If it's not against the rules, you can try a sneak attack. You can use unconventional weapons. Stay determined - not impatient nor discouraged - and with repeated trial and error, you're bound to reach a splendid outcome eventually."
One day you will be the teacher you want to be and you will look back at your life and feel a sense of accomplishment for your struggles. Yes we all have a few flaws that we aren't happy about but they are not a bad thing in fact, "Examined from another angle, your faults and weaknesses can be weapons." I personally have moments where I have major OCD and a strength is I notice the little details that are off. Back to what I was saying is you are a strong and wonderful person. Time is something we all need and sometimes life decides it wants to stack the deck against you. Play the hand you are dealt and make the most of it. I wish you the best and hope you never lose the drive to learn new things, "To live is to learn and to learn is to live, you cannot have one without the other."
Go and live your own story and take the knowledge that you are your own hero. Level up your intelligence and conquer the road before you with fearlessness. Always have a few traps played to back you up just in case. Never forget that everything comes at a cost and it is always equivalent. You are never alone for everyone you hold dear is with you always. Have a good day and remember you are loved; never be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

With all the stuff you have to do, I see why you would want to take a break from writing for a while, and there is no problem in doing so. I'm going through the same with Highschool and real life problems, so I completely understand.

Yeah man do it, live your life! hey look at me i'm a somewhat struggling yet imaginative writer and got lots to say (but with a plan!) i'll won't abandon ya:) at least you're not leaving the brony fandom!
p.s: I mean whose got stories left to tell about a cute,dorky yet sexy wizard that's known as sunburst;)
