The Life & Ramblings Of A Zillennial

A Busy Time

person sitting on rock on body of water | The Art Of Letting Go | Accepting You Have A Mental Illness | My Week Thus Far | Call Me By My Name | A Busy Time | Ten lessons I've learnt in 2025

You may have noticed that I have been trying to post more regularly for the last few weeks. Not as much as I would like to but still more than before. However, I wanted to let everyone know that for the rest of the year I won’t be posting as much. And I won’t be able to visit your blogs as much as I wish I could. It’s a busy time for me right now and to be honest this year has been so exhausting I find myself verging on burning out. As much as I love blogging, I’m not going to force myself to blog more often when I don’t have the energy for it.

I also feel like it’s time for me to try new content both for this blog and my YouTube channel which I have lowkey abandoned recently lol. I want to share more restaurant reviews and lifestyle videos on there. I’ve noticed people seem to enjoy those and I also enjoy making them a lot.

Plus, I have a lot going on in my personal life for the next two months so I’ll have much less time for blogging. Sometimes life just comes first.

Anyway, I wanted to give you guys that heads up so you don’t think I’ve randomly disappeared or anything. Thanks for understanding and sticking with me (I’m assuming you will…)

Let me know what your plans are for the next two months and what you’ll be up to.

I recently published my first book and would be honoured if you took a minute to check it out here.

    Your “real” life has to come first, Pooja, blogging is an avocation. I hope that you get things sorted out and feel great! 😊❤️

        Will stay away from the phone.

        In general it’s good to remain calm, stable and patient.

    Important to stay tuned with your artistic inclinations, Pooja! I would love to be blogging more, but haven’t been able to do better than about once a week checking in, lately, so I definitely understand that life does what it will with us at times!

    Besides, I’m a subscriber to your YouTube and would love to see you there too! hah

    No need to explain being MIA. I haven’t posted anything in ages, because there’s no time to write blog posts and I’m not a fan of my laptop. Screen is too small for me and I prefer using a desktop computer.

    Breaking a routine might feel a bit awkward or uncomfortable at first (or brains love having a routine) but it’s okay to take breaks from blogging/writing. We’ll be here when you get back or decide to blog again.

    I feel the same way. It’s hard. Life has changed and we have to change along the way too. We try hard to create the best content and what feels good for us and audience. It’s the creative struggle.

    I literally have to recreate myself every 4-5 years it’s tough. The feeling and content is important.

    I finally had a run of form the last couple years and found a way out of my writers block, content block, wanting to change things on my website, how to find back that feeling and push. So I had to take things offline to remember “life” again and find a way to breathe life how I am feeling now.

    Hopefully some of the word resides or helps.

    I love your journey and works so I definitely enjoy your posts even if not frequent as you want, but you deliver a clear communication and value that is just beautiful.

    I would absolutely love to see more content from you on YouTube! So that’s exciting! But of course, your life and YOU ultimately always is first. That break should help you feel more replenished and refreshed too. Your light and beauty will shine just as much offline as it does online. I’m all for the continued evolution of everything happening here! 👍🏻💪🏻💕

    Life has been busy for me. I’m trying to figure out what I want to do with my blog, which I abandoned for the past month lol. I’m still reading everyone else’s blogs. But I don’t comment as much as I do.

    I’m just trying to take it one day at a time. That alone works for me.
