Winter Blues

I haven’t been on here for a while. I’m slacking. I’m sorry. I know it feels like I’m about to fill you with paragraphs of excuses but, please be assured, this is not what this is.

I had got into a really great routine of posting and had fallen back into the swing of updating you on my life, my shopping sprees and, of course, the countdown to Christmas began.

Then, something happened. It was dark when I woke up, it was dark when I got home and, for the first time ever, I think it really started to affect me.

I have heard people speaking about this before but it has never seemed to make any difference to me or my moods.

All of a sudden I was in a rather dark place (no pun intended). My moods dropped, I found it hard to produce any form of motivation. I was following my daily routine of work almost zombie-like where I simply had to do it, rather than wanting to do it or finding any enjoyment from it.

It scared me; I was a shell of myself and saw no way to get back.

I really do hope to be speaking to you a lot more now. I am working on a few things but right now I have to be selfish and my focus has to be myself.
