So I’ve been struggling with my muse for months now and I’ve come to realize something. Susan was great. Susan helped me spark my creativity in a way I didn’t think was possible anymore and I met wonderful people along the way. But as most good things come to an end, it’s time to wrap her up. Susan was fun because the mun was scared and going through lots of stressful life changes and it was far easier to express through her than to go out and go do those scary, exciting things that interested me. Well, as I’ve taken leaps to do those things and step by step worked myself out of a 2-year-long funk, unfortunately it’s left me with little time for her. I’ve met some wonderful people over the last few months, learned new things, landed a job in a new industry and even decided to go back to school to pursue a higher degree. I’ll never forget my time writing her or the fun I had, and to the two of you I talk to a lot off tumblr (you should both know who you are, lovely people, my Aussie and my wise fox), I’ll be in touch soon, I promise. I’m sorry if this lets down people or if they are upset by this, but I think it’s time.
Don’t ever let other people suck the joy out of writing for you, but don’t let yourself get stuck in it either. The world isn’t as terrible as Tumblr makes it seem sometimes and getting stuck in a cycle of perpetually being offended by everything isn’t good for your soul. Go for a hike. Talk to people you think you might not like or who might not like you. Let other people like things. Let yourself like things. Unabashedly. You might end up in a hallway chatting with a famous rapper and a stand up comic and feeling like the world is as weird and wonderful as you thought it had the possibility to be.
I’m not deleting her. I might be back one day. I just can’t see that day in the near future. When I invent something amazing one day, I’ll probably come back to shill my amazing product because I’m shameless. But I’m cool with that. I’ll miss y’all. I’ll miss y’all more than you probably know. (And yes, I probably mean YOU! ;) ) Over and out, friends. Have a wonderful time of it. <3
