Sometimes, the dark cloud creeps up and remains for a long time. Blocking out all the light, hiding good things within the gloom. Until all you want to do is sit in the dark and do nothing.
I’ve not been in a good place for a long time. But I can have good moments, dotting through life like a string of fairy lights.
There are times I can just work through the dark cloud like a sailor can work on a turbulent sea, riding the swells and dips…
… but other times, it feels like the whole world is a dark cloud and that warm sunshine is a long way from coming back.
This is not a bad post. It’s not a “be worried” post. It is a… “I’m tired” post.
I’m tired and I’m struggling to be present right now. To care right now. To put in effort on anything I enjoy.
This post is here because I was 2 mins away from deleting my blog, and my social media and just packing in my writing and my business.
This is here, to remind me this is just another moment in time. It will pass. The cloud will move on.

Thanks x
Sending prayers, Ari. I hope you’re doing better now.
Thank you kindly, Andrew. I am doing a lot better now.
I’m glad to hear it.
Take a breather Ari – you’re a gifted writer and though the writing passion may be wavering a bit like a candle does sometimes, please don’t snuff it out. Take care and feel better okay?
Thank you so much Linda, I really appreciate your kind words. I am doing a lot better now. x
I’m glad to hear that Ari. It has been a rough patch for you the past few years.
True, but just gotta keep moving forward 🙂
You are a strong woman Ari. {{{Hugs}}}
I will remember “this is just another moment in time. It will pass.” Thank you.
Yes, it helps to remember that.
Absolutely. It is something profound, to keep remembering.
I know how you feel, Ari. I’m glad you reached out instead of deleting everything. It’s fine to take breaks away and come back when you are ready. There is no pressure to post all the time, only pressure we put on ourselves. Take care of yourself and do things that make you happy.
Thank you kindly, Suzanne. I am doing a lot better right now and I’m glad I never deleted everything. I definitely would have regretted that
