An explanation for my abscence
4 years ago
I don't know if anyone will actually read or care about this, but I wanted to give you some small explanation for my inactivity here. And the mundane answer is, that real life happened. I have a full time job and although it's not straining in a physical way, it still drains me mentally. Be it from unexpected extra tasks I have to do, the fact that I don't like it as much anymore as I did at the start or that I do have to perform very long stand-by duties.
It's exhausting and when I come back home, I would rather spend the time I have left with something that I enjoy, in this case video games or Youtube, instead of writing a story or something, for which I don't feel as much motivation as I did early. Maybe I'm writing the wrong kind of story or it's because I have been stuck on it for so long, but the thing is, I have a lot of blockades lately and I get overly critical when I'm working on it. Couple this with the fact that I'm pretty much constantly tired, because of the starting time of my work and you have the perfect recipe for me to neglect that hobby. To be honest, I don't have the desire to do anything special at all and just laze around in my home all day long.
This is probably a very common turn of events, but I still wanted to give some small explanation to the people who are interested.

I sooooo feel you, I also often just come back home after work and not feeling like doing anything at all.

I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe we either need to have a bit more discipline or find a way that works for us.

Klingt ziemlich vernünftig.
