Chatterbox: Down to Earth

So... *stares at

So... *stares at feet* I guess, I'm not going on hiatus, but like, trying to not be so hyperactive?

Right now, I'm spending lots of my free time of screens, mainly one oddly addictive app I have and here, on the CB. I love you guys and all, but the truth is that I'm devoting too much of my time to my laptop. So now I'm trying to work on being less attracted to electronics and more to reading or writing poems of even *insert dramatic gasp here* going outside??? Just spending my time differently than checking here every half hour or thinking about the Rise of Berk app on my phone.

So really, I'm just saying that I'm not going to be as hyperactive. Start posting, say, every two or three days instead of every 12 hours. I'm still going to be involved with the poetry challenge and Kyngdom and RPs and stuff. I just want to get out of the habit of running to check my phone or Chromebook right after I get home.

And... I don't know how to end this post.

back to the Down to Earth

I honestly think that’s a really great and responsible thing to do, and actually, same here. Lately I’ve been less active on the CB, and though I still love this place, I think it’s better for me this way. I need to devote more of my time to other things, and as school starts, I’m going to have less free time, too. So, yeah, I never made an official post about it or anything, but I guess I just wanted to say that lately I’ve been kinda doing the same thing, and kudos to you for taking the responsibility to set limits for yourself.

That’s a great idea, Luna. It’s a very mature decision, and I respect it. Thanks for letting us know about it!

Funny, I'm always trying to do the opposite. But of course, we are different people, and it sounds like you know what you need and you're going to do what's best for you. Were I wearing a hat, I would take it off to you.

... So I'm the last one left, eh? *Collaspes slowly to knees, surrounded by hay with a hay polearm in hands* I guess... It was inevitable eventually... *Dazed and distant*

That's totally okay! I personally haven't been as hyperactive as I used to be because I tried to spend my time on more important things, and now that school's here, my schedule's in jeopardy. But it's completely fine! Take screens in moderation, and do other things as well!
