Taking a break

I'll come back!

By Maryam BatoolPublished about a year ago 2 min read

Hi everyone,

First things first, Thank you so much for your support. I'll always be grateful for my dear little family here. I joined Vocal in October 2024 and it's been a crazy ride since. I got to share my little poetic world with ya'll. Your support lifted me to write more and I started writing stories too. And I swear; Every one of you guys means a lot to me...

Now, let me get straight into this;

I've not been uploading regularly for a couple of days now. I've got some parts of stories on due that I haven't completed. Some of you are waiting for the next parts but I swear I don't have the time to write them.

My exams are coming up soon. And because I'm no nerd; I didn't study this past whole year.

As each day passes, I'm realizing that If I don't start taking my studies seriously now, when exams approach, I'll be screwed. And ya'll know when it comes to studying time passes faster than the speed of light.

Why do I need a break from Vocal?

I've only got 2 reasons;

Physics!

and

Maths!

A few days ago, I accidentally managed to open and look at these books.; it felt like I hadn't studied a word... Can you imagine? A word? Even tho that's not completely true... But really... Somehow it is. Also at the start of the term, I was sick for 2 months and didn't go to college... And as much as Math and Physics look dramatic; I've got other side subjects too, that don't make it easy to manage everything with study.

Vocal actually takes so much of my time; I don't need to tell ya'll this. You guys know that we have to spend quite a few hours here.

I know most of you might be thinking,

"We're studying too! What's the big deal? We can manage both"

You're right! But in my case, I didn't study this whole past year. I know it's not a good way of presenting myself, but here I am being completely honest.

Yeah, you can call me one of those students who study when the exams are on the edge. I've got sendup-exams and other bunch of test-series that my college has prepared this month.

That's it.

I'll not be uploading much of stories or poems for some time. Maybe not at all.

I'll try my best if I can read some of your stuff! But, I wanted to let you know that if I can't... You know why...

I'll come back when my exams end.

.

And again;

Thank you so much, for every single comment and love you've shared with me. Thank you for everything 💗

    Good to see you have got your priorities right. I am sure you will do well. Make sure you let us all know. I would offer tutoring but I got a big 'F' for physics. I hated it, and it showed. I did not see the sense in knowing how fast a guy riding his bike against a 10 m.p.h wind coming from the Northeast when he was going South had to do with anything—who cares!!!! Take care and best of luck 🤞🤞🍀🍀
