I've been thinking. When do I actually take my Christmas break? There won't be any Yammer House ads or anything in this blog and you'll hopefully understand why soon enough. Everyone else at Yammer is enjoying their blogging break that started in April (when Yammer House first opened up) and I sort of want a piece of the pie. I want a break too. If they can do it, why can't I?
The easy answer is... Our production would jump off a cliff into a dry swimming pool. That's why I haven't been able to take a break over the past seven months. Yammer House has also been a pretty nice place for me. It started as a great solution to lockdown boredom (for that virus that doesn't exist anymore), then it turned into a passion, during the second semester it became my way of procrastinating and now it's almost a distraction.
I'm not really one to make big and emotional blogs about sappy crap that nobody reads, but I think I'm going to break protocol and seem a little bit human today. Mental Health sucks. If you pay attention to it, you lose track of everything else around you. If you don't give yourself enough time to process it, then you'll be engulfed in what I can only describe as an emotional fire. I love this blog. I've given my heart to this blog and have made it my baby, but that came with sacrifices that I'm no longer comfortable with giving up.
I'm not going to say I built this little personal sports blog (originally called Yammer House Sports) into a real business, but it is a real business now. It's registered and it does a lot of stuff. I wouldn't be the same arrogant, but somewhat jovial bloke that I am today if I didn't make Yammer House. As I said, it has been a blessing to have, but I'm not sure it's ideal right now. It takes a lot of time to run this. It's a lot of fun and I love doing it, but it swallowing me and it is time to step away, conveniently in time for the Christmas holidays.
I know nearly nobody will be reading this blog, but if you are, please take these next things to heart. Look after your family this summer, love and pay attention to yourself and, finally, smile. I don't know how you celebrate the holidays, but if you're surrounded by people you love, cherish it. It's truly beautiful. I hope we can make this little blog into a great place with more writers who have a lot of talent. This blog means a lot to me and that's what I have to say today.
I look forward to being back again sometime soon, but I'm not putting a timeframe on it. I don't know how long I will take off, but I have a feeling some groundbreaking news will drop that will change my holiday plans. Stay safe, everyone.
