Going on Hiatus

I hate to become one of those bloggers who writes primarily about blogging, but I guess that’s happening right now. I wanted to write this post to let you all know that I’m going to be going on a hiatus from Those Graces for an undetermined period of time.

In the past blogging was one of my only hobbies because I didn’t have a creative outlet in my work. Now that I’m working for myself, I have a huge sense of fulfillment from being able to get to do the work I want to do when I want to do it, kind of like I did with blogging.

I’ve begun to reflect upon the desire for more privacy. It’s true that bloggers choose what they put out there, and I’ve made a conscious decision to share less online. At some point, I became uncomfortable with strangers knowing my thoughts and feelings on subjects. Being open can be so fulfilling, but it can also feel like I’m giving away pieces of myself without knowing what will happen. Just to clarify, only good things have come from this blog, but I’m at the point where I want to turn inward.

As I’ve gotten more comfortable with myself, I’ve been able to open up with friends and be myself fully, which was something that was hard in the past. Sad to say, but now that I have more of a support system in my life, I feel less of a need to blog. Blogging was always a way to share my thoughts and interests that I didn’t share with people around me. I’m happy to share more now have an amazing group of friends.

I’m not sure where this hiatus will go. I could see starting over on another blog or coming back to this one. I’m honestly not sure. It feels kind of sad to admit that this might be the end of the road, but I’m not really sure yet. I just wanted to share this so you all weren’t thinking, “Where did Courtney go? Is she coming back?”

In the mean time, I’m still addicted to Twitter and Instagram so those are probably the best places to find me for now.

Until next time, xo.
