I guess this is good-bye

Good-evening, my friends.  I'm just popping in to say that I'm going to be taking an indefinite break from blogging.  I've been very sporadic about posting lately and I'm feeling sort of out of the loop and am just not sure how to get back into the rhythm of it.

I'm leaving for school in less than three weeks, and I really have no idea what sort of time I'm going to have for blogging and all that while I'm there, so it'll just be easier to leave with the expectation that I'm not going to be blogging at all and then maybe surprise you all with a  post if I find I have the time and inclination for it. 

School aside, I've also just been feeling really insecure about my blogging abilities lately.  It's probably mostly due to the fact that I haven't been around as much so I'm feeling disconnected from everyone, but in all honesty I'm just way too good at thinking negatively about my writing and worrying that nobody really cares to read what I have to say...or that I'm getting boring because I write the same sort of things all the time and people are probably getting enormously sick of my pathetic sense of humor and yada, yada, yada. 

I know it's mostly just lies, but I still can't seem to keep myself from getting down about it far too often.  And add to that the fact that I have so many posts I want to write but not enough energy and drive to actually write them, and you've got frustration, people.  And stress.  And a recipe for a very grumpy individual.

So, right.  I think it's time I just stepped away from it all.  For a season at least.  I'm definitely hoping to be back before too long but we'll have to wait and see how it goes.  Love you, guys.  Thanks for putting up with me for the past three years.  I'm going to miss you.  And please don't forget me.  I think that's one of my main fears, that I'll step away for a time and then come back to find that everyone's gone.  Please don't be gone.  Because blogging just isn't much fun without our little chats. 

Very sincerely yours,
Miss March (a.k.a. Alyssa)
