Why I Sometimes Need To Disconnect

 

If you ever scroll through Facebook or Twitter for a few minutes and really soak in statuses and tweets,

you begin to realize just how much we’re all longing for a place to be heard………….to have a voice.

This summer I’ve had some face-to-face encounters that have reminded me of just how deeply I need people with skin on in my life.

Laughter

Hugs

Eye Contact

Smiles

Tears

I need these types of things in order to feel alive………….in order to feel whole.

I haven’t been as faithful with blogging, and part of me has felt very guilty…………….

as if part of who I am is less if I’m not here………………….

being heard.

The truth is, life goes on  for the planet when I don’t write publicly.

And sometimes, the things I’m feeling and thinking and experiencing are just too personal for a public forum.

So, I just felt like I needed to say this morning that I’m still here.

I still love you all.

I’m still processing life and death and everything in between the beginning and the end;

but other than an Instagram pic and maybe a little thought about the photograph,

I’m not doing much on social media for the next few weeks.

You can find me on Instagram by searching for

@tammynischan.

I’d love to see you there!

I plan to dive back into blogging on a regular basis in September.

Until then, I will only be blogging once or twice a week,

but it doesn’t mean I care about you any less……………….

Maybe by somewhat disconnecting from public forums for a while,

I can actually have time to care a little more.

Please feel free to email me if you need to talk.

I love hearing from you.

I hope your day is filled with hugs, laughter, and friendship.
