hiya friends,ย ย ย letโs talk about rp burnout,ย ย ย because itโs a real thing and at some point i think we all experience it.ย ย โธบย rp burnout. aka youโre tired of this place, this culture, some of the people, the way things are treated, the drama, everything really, but ( like so many of us ) you donโt necessarily want to give up and give in and stop writing because you love it. so what do you do? well lo and behold, friends, i am not an expert. but i do have some advice that iโve found to work,
step away. it doesnโt necessarily have to be a formalย โhiatusโ but if youโre not here, and youโre not writing or you donโt find yourself wanting to be here, donโt be here. you donโt owe anyone replies. you donโt owe anyone anything. you owe yourself everything.
go hang out outside for a little while listen to music or a podcast and go for a walk / run.
do some of those chores around the house that youโve been neglecting, cease the endless dash scrolling and the obsessiveย โi need to keep up with every trend and bit of newsโ
step back. step away. take a breather.ย
reconnect with what you love about your muse or rp in general. you like making blogs? make a blog, you donโt have to promo it or write on it or anything, if you just like the process of setting something up, have a space for you to do that.
be selective with your replies and your threads. is there something you like writing right now? write it. fuck the whole system. write what you want with who you want.
stop stressing about appearances and the wholeย โis what iโm doing going to irritate someoneโ because you know what? it shouldnโt matter and it doesnโt matter if susie from susieland doesnโt like that youโre writing this or posting too much on the dash. it has literally zero impact on susieโs life. susie can unfollow.
this. is. a. website. it has zero power over you. it doesnโt have to have power over you. do not give it the power over you.
itโs super easy to be addicted to tumblr, believe me, i know, cuz i am. but once you take some time to ground yourself in things that you actually enjoy, and that make you feel good about yourself and the world around you, you can get back to a place where you can actually enjoy being here.ย
do the things that you enjoy ! because you enjoy them ! because thatโs what youโre here for ! thatโs what you deserve !ย
this is a hobby. remember that this is supposed to be a hobby.ย
โธบย and if you have things that youโve found to work that you want to add, please add !ย
