Greetings, friends at Hive. Today, I am putting my time and obligations on hold to feel free and be able to write. At first, I thought about not writing anything because I felt like I was giving explanations that no one asked for or that no one would be interested in, but I think it's about sharing situations in a space where I already have time and have created content, and that's also what this work is about: being able to create and share in any scenario. I am taking some time off from Hive (a few days or many, I don't know). The main reason, without a doubt, is her, my almost 19-year-old dog; her health has deteriorated in less than a month due to an infection. These have been difficult days, with a lot of sleepless nights and very careful care; my time is more divided, more limited, and more difficult to fulfil with various commitments. I want to devote myself to her, care for her as she deserves, and, if this is her final moment, be with her completely; my commitment of love is to give her what she has given me: absolute love.
Many trips to the doctor, many expenses for medication – in short, a list of situations that have overwhelmed me, and I feel responsible for stopping because my day-to-day life is full of obligations, and I just want to fulfil them as best I can, but I don't want to fall into anxiety or anything that makes me feel bad; I want to be calm, in search of well-being and balance, and to recharge myself with good things, and for that I need time, and I am giving it to myself.
I always try to make my decisions outside the house, while out walking, having a coffee, or enjoying a glass of wine. I know it's cliché, but I love that dynamic because it gives me peace. At this stage in my life, I am looking for everything to flow smoothly and to be calm in the face of life's eventualities. I am in a process where I am transitioning from one job to another, creating new work spaces, where I must also accompany my daughter in her graduation, where I also take care of a second dog, and without a doubt my main focus right now is accompanying my dog in her recovery or whatever may happen. I am also looking for a break at Hive to rethink my contribution there and my content and strategies that help me continue, so I think taking a break is something that is happening organically and is necessary.
Thank you, Hive, for creating spaces like this, where you can simply write with no greater ambition than to support, guide, and understand, and that is a lot and should be infinitely appreciated. See you soon, friends. I hope to return with good news to continue this task of creating content for an exceptional community. See you soon.
