I do not even know where to start. I have been MIA for eight ( 8 ) months. Shame. I tell you, I have a perfectly solid and valid reason why it's been a ghost town in here lately. The past months have been nothing but intense craziness. My work place has been transferred to our corporate head office since March of this year. Stating the obvious, travel is 24-kms one-way, so x2, that would be 48-kms every day. It does not help that we have one of the most terrible traffic systems here in the Philippine. Imagine having to wake up at 4:30AM every single day if I want to clock-in at 8 o' clock in the morning. I didn't think I'd last, but luckily I am surviving. I just don't know if I will ever be able to adjust to this living in the South & working in the far North kind of thing.
Thriving.
I wish I'd get my blogging mojo back. I have tons of scheduled and unfinished posts that I have been wanting to share with all of you, but I just can't seem to bring myself to wholeheartedly write about them. I have been going to bed tired and have been waking up the following day still tired. So whatever little free time I have, I choose to get extra hours of sleep or hang with friends or simply do nothing. I try to enjoy these little un-frazzled moments.
Even in my 30s, I see that I am still a work-in-progress. As tough as the past months have been — transferring offices, a good boss resigning + a close friend resigning, everyone wanting to be a super cook in the kitchen, everything that came out from these experiences taught me a lot about myself and have shown me that I am resilient & can slay while I'm at it :)
Have you ever struggled in being a grown-up? What do you do whenever you feel like there's just so much on your plate? Any advice on how to make adulting easier? Peace + ❥ Love + Good Vibes. RUSS.

Just literally take each day as it comes. No sense in driving myself bonkers trying to do it all - that is my life theme. I do what I do, when i can do it and that is all. I won't do more or less than what makes me happy!
Don't even worry about it! Take care of you first and foremost! At the age of 48 I realized that I come first or I have nothing of value to offer others. Wait until you feel good about blogging again then slay that too! You will get there. Sounds like there are a lot of changes in your life right now and that will be great content to share later on! Sleep is SO important! I do not get enough good sleep myself but working on that. Take care for now!
I've been an adult half of my life already;) So sure I have a piece of advice. Do not be the adult all the time;) The more child you leave in you the better adult you'll be - and more effortlessly, too ;)
Well welcome back. I do work and I understand how difficult it can be to have a life/work/blog balance. You do what is easy for you, what makes you happy. Even if it is just saying hello and how things are going. Maybe blog about that. How are you feeling?
Good luck to you
I can remember feeling the same way often in my late 20’s and early 30’s. Just hang in there, things get better
I totally feel that I am barely adulting lately. I am so beyond exhausted with life and everything I have to do. I've also lost my blog mojo a few times. You will get it back. Don't force it.
Adulting, I say this to myself at least once a week. It’s crazy how time flies, sometimes I wish I could take back not having so many responsibilities and deadlines to meet. Now that you are back in the game, it’s your time to shine! Slay away and best of luck with work and other tasks that come your way.
I've been adulting for a very long time and it's still a lot of work. There are ups and downs and times when I want to crawl under the covers and pretend not to be an adult for a while. But overall, it gets better. You find your groove. You find your joy. In the meantime, take care of yourself and take it easy on yourself. <3
Ah, we all have those moments! I've recently gone on a hiatus too but more like a digital detox. Anyhow, welcome back to the blogging world — yet another crazy world ;) All the best!
Ah, adulting. The great nemesis to all of us. The thing about being an adult is that it really just means we have more and more on our plate as the days go by. You have to just take them as they come and handle what you can when you can.

No one said you couldn't live your life - so don't feel guilty for GHOSTING your blog, LOL! OHHHH ADULTING. I just LOVEEEEEE IT! (sarrrrrcasssmmmm lol)
The best thing I can tell you is to take it one day at a time. You will get it back!
I think it happens to the best of us. There are often times when I have to step away for a bit. Take each day as it comes.
Ikes that is a crazy schedule. Me personally, I would have opted to move a bit closer so that I had a work/life balance. I get that it is sometimes hard to up and move. My husband worked an hour away on a good day. He hated the commute. Thankfully, things changed a year ago. He now has to go to the nearest office every now and then.
Good to see you back and I do hope you get to go back to blogging 100%. :) Well, take it slowly. Life is short. Enjoy every minute of it.
I have to admit I'm not sure I manage to adult most days, I feel like I just hanging on by my finger tips to everything.
Sometimes we gotta take breaks which is a-okay! We're only human.
I want to to thank you foor this very good read!! I absolutely enjoyed
every little bit of it. I have got you book-marked to check out
new stuff you post…
It's important to look forward not back. So don't worry about things you haven't done but focus on what you can do now or in the future. What's important is to set yourself realistic goals which include time for yourself!
Being in an appreciative mood as much as possible really helps.
Why, that is a work commute to get use to for sure! Sometimes we need to take breaks from the online world so we can get back on track. Totally understandable and glad to have you back!
Yeah, I admit being an adult is not the easiest thing. It's funny how the kids (including my young self) wish to be a grown up as soon as possible. It's great to see you back. Let's enjoy this ride, while it last. :)
adulting is a joke! I just want to stayin bed in my jammies all day watching cartoons! One day at a time! breath in and breath out!
I think we all know this feeling. But I am sure that this is just a phase, and it will eventually pass.
Yes, yes! I totally get where you are at. For me, listening is important. Following inner guidance is key. Remembering my why is also critical. And then, sometimes, ya just gotta stop and consider - maybe, it’s time for a break, yes? Xo, Evelyn, PathofPresence
It happens to all at least once in their life time. It comes and goes, but at the end of the day, its all about how happy you are.
My big adult challenge is to love myself with perseverance,consistency. Are you passionate about your job? You're so brave and strong!
Adulting kinda sucks but we have to sort our priorities (which I sometimes fail to do lol). Take your time and just go with the flow. It's okay to look back but enjoy present, carpe diem. You got this!!! <3
Boo to adulting! IT is so much work and almost no fun anymore!
Adulting is definitely not something that anybody would ever enjoy, at least not me. Hope you are able to face all the challenges and live a happy happy life! Keep posting regularly!
I can definitely understand. Life gets in the way sometimes and I was so busy last year that I stopped blogging for almost an entire year. Hope it gets better soon for you!
My folks would like to go and take a hiatus and a digital detox, but more than ever we needing to rely on technology. hope the writers block gets better x
Glad that you are back at it and for sure.... take each and every day as it comes your way and make the most of them too. Good luck to you and will be back to catch up and visit your site some more. Dig in and enjoy the ride!
I remember feeling that this once in my early 20s. Adulting can be hard but hang in there.
Bless you, getting up at 4.30am just to be able to get to your day's work would be too much for me. Give yourself a break and don't expect too much if you are doing those crazy hours. God bless, Mich x
thank you for the update on the blog! I'm glad to hear your stories and wish you the best for everything going on!
I am sure you will find a routine that works for you. This is a hard time for everyone and it is a struggle to figure out how to manage our time and our days. I am enjoying the extra time at home.
I remember going through the same when i was in my 20s, the process was exciting but felt difficult sometimes.
It is not always easy to adapt to changes. Be patient with yourself and with the process. May be it could be helpful to post shorter blog posts until you find a new routine.
