If something takes over your life and does not, in some way, add to your quality of life, then maybe stepping away is a good idea. You're right. Your friends will understand and patiently wait for your return. The beauty of a place like this is that you can come and go and post your writing and thoughts without knowing who will read them and be affected by them. Whether read by a friend or a stranger, you have the ability to reach an audience you would not have otherwise. So, do what you have to do to keep things in balance in your life and when you are here, be sure to post us some of your wonderful words and thoughts. Hope all goes well for you. You are a wonderfully talented man. Remember that our friendship does not depend on the frequency of our visits.

good to be in reality - even thoughts is just a little playground for me - good luck R - Puck

I know what you mean Rene.. I canceled my facebook too .. although I reopened my account five times before I officially cut it off :) But thoughts, is not only a place where you met good friends, more importantly it's a space for you to express yourself and empty your mind.. creatively or actuality.

We'll always be here .. love you Rene.. xxx

Glad you have taken a look at yourself. I didn't have internet service for several months, it showed me that life does go on without it. Take all the time you need, but when you get back, I want to read the rest of Just a Story! LOL, just kidding, but please let us know, in time, how you are doing. Best of wishes friend!

<3 Miss you
