Travelin’ the Stars
It is time for me to take an indefinite LOA.
Ever since I started writing on Chaos, I've been very "go go go" and wanted to write in every thread possible. Sure, it got a little overwhelming at times, but I loved it. I loved creating my own story and being a part of everyone else's. It was a lot of fun. But I have been writing here for 5 years now and never really gave myself a true break. There were times where I stopped writing as much or my muse wasn't as active, yet I was still going onto the site and reading through posts.
It has slowly become a mix of burnout and FOMO.
I'm starting to stress more thinking about writing than just actually writing. I have so many ideas for characters and stories and factory/codex stuff that I would get so worked up and never actually write them in the first place. Even though that is what this entire forum is about. So it is time for me to take a break. A true one. Logging out from my account and not looking at the website. I'm going to miss it, a lot, but right now I just don't have the energy to write like I used to. I thought about even writing one last thread with my character

. But again, it is just me thinking I have to write one more story. I'm fine with that one just staying in my head for now.
My final year of college academics and athletics is approaching here in the next few weeks, and that will be occupying all of my free time. Another reason that I think it is time for a true break.
I know Chaos will be here when I eventually decide to come back to write again. But for now farewell. It has been a pleasure to write with you all.
