Probably not, but I think I need a break, a big one. I worry Rusty might mark me as a spam account here and on noise, but that's a chance I might have to take.
It is not a decision made in haste, yet, at the same time, I still have 4 unpublished articles that I might have to delete. I may have presented myself nonchalant on both platforms the last week, but this was something that was always running at the back of my mind. My stomach feels twisted and gnarled, but I know this is the decision that I have to make.
I have spent long hours and only then have come to this conclusion. I have contemplated every aspect of taking this step. In order for me to proceed with my life, I'm experiencing a shortage in time for both platforms.
This decision was made after critical thinking of what needs to be done next in my life and after evaluating the time I need to achieve it.
A detailed time -table for the next 80 days dictates I take a break from all social media platforms, including noise and read. I have already deleted all my other social media a week ago. However, the decision of whether should I take a break from both noise and read.cash was not an easy one and hence took a week for me to decide.
I'm giving these exams for the third time and I want to dedicate 10 hours of effective studies like other students of the course instead of my 6 or 7 hours. I am convinced that this is right now me.
I still have so many things to say/write, but now is not the time.
'Learn to manage your time, Stea.'. I have considered that too, but-
It takes me an hour or an hour and a half to produce an article of 4 or 5 minutes read time. It takes me a further 3 hours to be happy about what I've written, and I have to be happy with what I have written.
Sometimes, I spend days reading articles of other users, commenting, and upvoting them, which is also an integral part of this platform and should not be avoided.
It is time-consuming on this side, and I do not want to do it half-heartedly.
A bird in a hand is worth two in the bush they say, and right now, for the life of me, it's getting difficult for me to manage both (my life and the platforms).
Sometimes in life, to take two steps forward, you ought to take a step back.
This is why I'm willing to risk both, noise (1042 subscribers) and read.cash (100 subscribers and 1000+ views) accounts that are fetching me decent tips, upvotes, and comments.
I am ready to concentrate on my life now.
I joined noise on the 7th of July, which makes 26th September my 80th day here. I shall stay for a day to say final goodbyes. Having spent 80 days here, today marks an apt date for me to take a break of 80 days.
I shall be back latest before the year-end, with the same name. I value all my articles on read.cash and posts on noise.cash.
I have not converted any of my BCH earnings into fiat, and shall not do so, all my earnings shall be kept as it is. Me not converting BCH to fiat shall be almost like an oath for me to come back.
I shall not delete my account either, this will be the account I shall continue on. I am very proud of the articles (and Random thoughts and Miscellaneous series pinned on my noise account) that I have written. It makes me chuckle from time to time. Before anyone else. I am my own fan. I do not need anyone but me to believe in me, and thus, losing them shall be a great loss, which I am not ready for.
I still remember how happy I was when I was featured in @LucyStephanie 's 10 Best read.cash Articles I've Read So Far.
And, how lucky I am to have won @Panky 's lottery not once, BUT TWICE!
I am grateful to my sponsors, but I am especially grateful to @TengoLoTodo for pushing me to write here.
Without his coxing, I wouldn't have produced 19 decent articles here. It was purely unimaginable. It was unfathomable for me to acknowledge it to myself that I could write something that would bring joy or a smile to someone.
@Demonlord and @naveee3, you guys are actual angels on this planet for helping me during my initial days.
@OldBastard and @myklj999, I love reading your rants!
@tired_momma @Theblackdoll, @natanson @EirMacEnaj, @Coquicoin, and @Pichi28, you're all such hardworking lovely ladies, I wish we had met earlier.
@natanson, was my first friend here, she made me feel comfortable on the platform.
I will miss having conversations with @tstn (my favorite Robot), @Porwest and @Cryptozeug! You guys have an awesome sense of humor but are also humans with great insight and knowledge. I cherish your company, even if virtually that is. Conversations just flow with you guys. Sometimes, after a long day, I log in to my account, just so that I could speak to you.
@Abaraxas, Daddy, nothing would've been possible without you. I still think of the day I switched on my laptop to play Drawasauraus at 5 in the morning. I remember the conversation I had with you (and the other user), and I thank my lucky stars that I did.
'If you need a platform to rant, you should join noise', and that's what I needed. You never mentioned anything about the earning before I joined, that was the best part. I needed a place to rant, and noise delivered it.
Thank you for introducing me on noise.cash.
This post is already making me feel like I'm dying, I SHALL BE BACK BEFORE YEAR-END WHEN BCH MUST HAVE CROSSED $1000!
It is now time for me to hit that Publish button. Before leaving, could you please tell me which of my article you liked, and why? :)
If you're still reading, I love you :)
Popping in, maybe you might write something;)
