hibernation

hey, I received an email asking me about my blog and realized I should leave an explanation.

I am taking a break from the internet world (except for school) and sort of the social strings attached to everything. there have been a number of horrible things that happened the past year, and I thought it would end with 2009, but it's dragged on due to a decision hastily made through emotion. I need to get my life back together and create memories that aren't tainted with depression as they have been for the past year. I want to thank you all, especially the readers who comment, because it really makes blogging worth it to meet people like you online. it's so comforting to know that I'm not alone, something else that has been driving me deeper into a hole. there's someone I still want to give a chance but I don't know if he wants to give himself one anymore.

I've privatized my Twitter as well, so I'm not sure who can still see it, but no need to even think about it because it's temporary as I will return.

so I leave you with this little post:

I got my nails painted a light shade of gray, I really like it. and my sister gave me this cross ring from F21 that was also on sweetarrow



hopefully my hair will be longer with some color in it next time I'm here!

so now I guess I'll go back to listening to Lady Gaga's Brown Eyes and feeling pathetic and lonely.

P.S. I posted the eczema tips, but it's two posts below instead o_0

P.P.S. I'll still receive all your comments, but they'll be in my comment moderation folder. <3

2/23/2010 EDIT:
I will be back very soon! My Twitter is open again. I wanted to thank everyone for their kind words; each comment has left a personal spark of joy on me and I will be eternally grateful for every letter and word ^_^

Now... what is up with all these "HEY FOLKS I KNOW THE COOLEST ENTERTAINMENT SITE" comments? O__o

Hey Michelle,

I have been a reader of your blog for quite some time...if I recall correctly, I think it was on chictopia that I first "found" you. Anyway, I rarely leave any comments, but I thought I would send you a quick a note to wish you well, and to let you know how much I've enjoyed your blog all this time. Best of luck to you...I hope 2010 will get much better for you!

Dear Michelle,
I was getting really worried there...and it made me feel perplexed cuz I only know you through the blogosphere. It just made me realize there are so many more layers to a person than from what you read and see. I hope you find the strength to get through whatever struggles you are facing & even when you feel horribly weak, please don't let it get the best of you. You are a gifted girl with many talents and I love reading your blog because it's not entirely focus on how beautiful your pictures look or what you believe is the best trend out there. Haha, which is not a bad thing, I assure you. I return to your blog because you stay true to yourself and for some reason, it really soaks through to me and I'm sure to a lot of your readers. No matter who you meet and what they say, please believe you are a unique individual & many of us would be so lucky to get to know you in person!
Love your blog & when you return, I'm sure you'll return with a a vengeance. haha =)

First, awesome blog title - I can totally feel that vibe from looking at your blog. Second .. I, of course, do not know what went wrong in 2009 because I'm just a stranger online browsing through blogs, but I really want to say keep your head up .. I've gone through many rough patches, twists, and turns in my life and was only able to find happiness after I learned how to push forward. Easier said than done, I know, but words of encouragement always did bring a smile to my face if nothing else at all. Hope things pick up for you with this New Year. Following :)

My eczema is triggered by stress and I have it bad at the moment, so advice from a sage veteran is a great help, thank you. You sound really sad so I have a joke which I hope will make you smile if only for a few seconds - I went to a Chinese restaurant the other day and had to say to the waiter "These noodles are a bit crunchy." He said "You're eating the chopsticks."

I was shocked when I couldn't view your blog a few days back but I can totally understand how you feel because I been through that so I just stopped a while not updating. :)

The ring looks really good and now I can't wait to receive mine! Hope to have you back soon!

aww, I'll really miss you! Your posts have more substance than most fashion bloggers. You're really a gem! Plus, I love your ring collection!

I've stopped following blogs a long time ago, but I always come back to yours. I don't usually comment, I just lurk through google reader, but I wanted to say I'm sorry you're going through tough times right now. The latter half of 2009 was also hell for me, and now in 2010 I'm trying to pick up the pieces and move on. It's not easy. Sounds cliche, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You might not see it now, but hang in there, you'll eventually see that little speck of light in all the darkness around you. Take it easy, lil lady. I look forward to your next post, whenever it may be, and hopefully things will have taken a turn for the better by then. *hug hug hug*

good luck with whatever you have to take care of! I wish you the best and I enjoyed reading your blog.

Hi there,

I've never commented on your blog before but really enjoy reading it, especially for your art and DIY posts.

If you're feeling unhappy, there's nothing better than to just take time off for yourself. If your blog is a healthy outlet for you, then keep it up by all means. If not, you really don't owe it to anyone to continue it. Regardless, of what you do--and this probably doesn't feel like much coming from a stranger--I really hope you feel better soon :)
