VEDA is over and I am so happy to be back to blogging. I’ve missed it here. But, I’ll only just say hello before I wave goodbye again.
I wrote a version of this post a week ago in anticipation of this day. I knew then that I needed a break. I don’t know why people normally unplug, but between a daily vlog, two blogs, dailybooth, tumblr, and twitter, there has been a lot of me on the internet this month and in the background of it all, I’ve been falling apart, putting myself back together, and then falling apart again.
I love having this whole internet life and, even more so since VEDA, this amazing group of people who make me laugh and listen to me be pathetic. I think I just need to take a minute to find some peace and face things instead of distracting myself from them. In other words, dear internet, it’s not you, it’s me. Yeah, that old line.
I’m not actually unplugging. I mean, I’m only human and I need the internet for work and school. But, I’m going to disappear from everything except for email. You can still reach me there. Otherwise, I’ll see you in a week or so. Love your faces.

I think we’ve all been there before. Sometimes you just need some space before you can come back. It will serve you well I believe. You’ll be missed.
Have a great break and good luck this week getting back into the school routine. I haven’t watched many VEDA blogs this past month but I plan on it the next few weeks. I’m looking forward to it. =) Have a great week!
Good for you – unplugging is definitely necessary every once in a while! Have a great week :)
This makes me sad, but I completely understand. Enjoy your “break” and I so look forward to seeing your beautiful face around these parts again. Looove you. :)
I hear ya! Between all these things we do for “fun” it can be overwhelming at times. Have a good break, see you soooon :)
Sad face, but I good for you! We’ll miss you while you’re gone!
Love your face too. See you soon
Oh Ashley, I’m so sorry. Yes, a break seems much needed. I haven’t been involved in blog things as much as I used to, but I’ve always admired your honesty and how you share so much of yourself with others. Take a break and I’ll definitely be looking forward to reading your blog again when you’re ready.
Love you and you’re amazing and all of that stuff I’ve said a million times.
Enjoy the break! We all need to unplug every once in awhile.
I think we have all been there. My husband teases me that I’d “go into a catatonic state” without the internet for a day. I told him instead it would be wonderful. You have to unplug for awhile and regroup… everyone will still be here when you come back. Hang in there and enjoy your you-time!
I was thinking about you today. Miss you! I hope you’re having a good break, though. :)
I’m doing the same thing right now… well, except for this moment when I’m leaving you a comment. I’m rarely on twitter or FB, I’ve given up on Dailybooth for now and my blog is left in the lurch. I’m surprisingly ok with all of it!
