10/01/18 || I was going to start this post with some sort of apologies, but then I thought about it and I need to stop apologizing for not being online 24/7 and for not providing content 24/7. Isn’t it more important to be present in real life? I’m gonna make that a goal for 2018: I won’t feel guilty for not being online when I’m present offline. And content wise as a creative person you need breaks from creating, you can’t be productive in that sense (again) 24/7. So I’ll blog when I can and I’ll post when I can, that doesn’t mean that I don’t care about this blog or that I am not studying because believe me that’s all I do lately. As an update on that: I did my first exam earlier this week and I got the best result ever, I’m so pleased with that and I feel so much lighter now that I am one exam less away from graduating.
