The Creative Burnout

This is what burnout looks like. I tried to post 3 times a day on 4 platforms because "gurus" said I had to. I hit a wall. I hated creating. I hated my audience. I just wanted to stop existing online. So I did. I took a month off, fully expecting to lose everything I had built. Instead, I came back with a clearer mind and better content. My engagement actually went up because I wasn't just churning out garbage anymore. Sometimes you have to let the battery die completely before you can recharge it properly. This failure to "keep up" saved my love for the game.
