You know when you get to the end of a vacation and you’re really ready to go home? You want to sleep in your own bed, watch a movie on your own couch, see your pets, see your friends, eat normal food, and just breath in the smell of your own house. You know that feeling? Yeah, I didn’t really have it this vacation.
I LOVED Maui. It was paradise and I was there with the two most important people in the world and I just didn’t really want to leave. So I’ve been taking a few days to mourn the return to reality. Pardon my absence.
why would I want to leave?
I let myself disconnect while I was away – I didn’t blog very much, I hardly checked Facebook, and I only opened the computer a grand total of three times. It was a wonderful break. But now I need to get some momentum going in the other direction. I seemed to have a block about writing this first post-vacation post. So, in order to give myself a kick-start, you get this: a post about my reluctance to post. With any luck, this will open the floodgates and you’ll be deluged in writing yet again. Here’s hoping.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? A reluctance to return to writing after a break? Or just a reluctance to return to “real life” after vacation?
(Don’t worry, I’ll post some more Maui pics soon. I have hundreds, it’s just a matter of finding the best ones!)
Welcome back from your holiday. I’ve been really enjoying your pics on Instagram so can’t wait to see the rest of them! One day I WILL make it to Hawaii
(I’m @AlohaAmy by the way!) x
Hey! I’ll definitely get pics up soon. Maybe even tonight
You should definitely get there some day – it was awesome!
Maui is such an amazing place. We found it hard to get back into things once we returned home as well. But it just gives us a good reason to try and get back there once again (the sooner the better).
It’s always good to have travel goals – I find they help keep me sane! I like to try new places, though, so it might be a bit before we go back. Or maybe not
I hope you had fun on your holiday, welcome back to the (not-so)fun reality that is life.
I’m excited to read more posts from you now that you are home – you should know that I am a total Moments of Exhilliration addict by now despite the fact that I don’t comment very often (sorry!).
That’s awesome! Please keep reading
And I can definitely relate to not commenting – I don’t comment nearly enough on the blogs that I like, despite knowing how much bloggers crave comments. Sigh.
I feel that way at the end of every vacation. I pretty much never want to come home. Also your top (dress?) is adorable.
I know… And I always get kind of depressed when I get home. Nonetheless, it’s totally worth it.
It’s a dress – thanks!
