Sometimes I update my journal just to hide my last journal entry. In this case I update because my last entry was such a bummer that when I thought about it quite recently I realized that some have probably been wondering whether I've gone and died somewhere in a freak circus acrobatic performance accident under mysterious circumstances. I am happy to say that I haven't. I am well.

I just needed to take what I like to call an "intentional break" from deviantART as opposed to an "unintentional break". An unintentional break is what happens when you haven't got anything to update with. An intentional break is what happens when you make the decision not to update whether you have anything to update with or not. In either case, there are no updates for quite a long time.

I had just gotten tired of the devART scene, with its comments and favorites and stuff and such. Not because people have been negative (everybody here is great). I had...just gotten tired of it and I wanted a break. I realized something about everything here was stifling me. I didn't know what it was at the time, but I think I'm starting to understand now.

I don't know whether people are watching me, reading this, wondering or even caring, but to those that are (if there are), I'm not promising anything. I don't know if I'm through with devART. Not yet. Not even after these months stepping in and stepping out. I think there's a chance that I can get excited about managing a gallery again even if I don't know if it's now or never. I don't want to make a big fanfare about quitting or staying whatever the case. I just want to make a journal entry here that I can live with whether I leave it to rot for a couple years or come back in month with a jazillion pictures I can't wait to show off. I just didn't like how I left off last time. I don't want people remembering me storming out in a huff and never coming back. It didn't seem very fair.
