Hiatus.

Spring,

I have been reading your blog off and on for over a year now. While we vary quite a bit on our political views, a lot of our religious views seem to align. Its also comforting to read about other people going through the whole quarter-life problems. Admittedly, any problems I have are decidedly what I like to refer to as "first-world" problems they are still very serious within the context of our lives. I hope you figure out whatever it is your going through right now and can return to writing on a regular basis. Of all of the blogs I read yours ranks in top 3 or 4 best written, though I could tell your heart hasn't been in it lately.

your internet friend,

anthony

I'll miss being your sometimes-silent lurker. Did you ever post about the church you want to dedicate your life to? I don't recall reading anything about it, and I'm insanely curious.

I read your site via an RSS feeder and have since the first day you moved. I really enjoy it and hope that you'll find that you miss it and return! I do know, though, that the urge to blog comes and goes. I had a HUGE lapse of interest with CapnK8 and only last week began to start getting my blogger hat back on.

The reason I mention that I get your site via RSS is that I never saw your April Fools' post. Had I, I would have freaked out. So there you have it.

If you don't blog, by all means write a book already. You're too good a writer to waste. :)

I agree with Kate and would love to read a book written by you. About the marriage issue; its hard, I totally agree. Just know that you aren't alone in that.

I hope things get better, and in the mean time, I will miss you writing.

And just a note: I missed you're writings on marriage. So much of what you wrote was a direct echo of the things I experience in my own marriage and I felt a little less alone by reading yours.

Okay, now that I've probably guilt-tripped the hell out of you, lol, let me say I'm sending a few prayers up for you. Blessings! ~ L

wow, will i miss writes of spring.

but i hope that spring finds everything that she needs away from here.

hugs and <3,
carrie

Spring,

I will miss you and I hope that this is just brief.

As for marriage, harder than you ever thought, isn't? Hard to comprehend what it will be like until you actually live it.

I can assure you it gets easier once you get settled in and find your groove. Hang in there, enjoy your break and get back here!

Have a good time writing for yourself Spring. We all need a time on our own. I'll be eagerly awaiting for your comeback.
Take care!

Spring,
I'm a high school student who stumbled across your blog one day while searching for a haircut(google images brought up that picture of Cameron Diaz from the holiday). Your writing has opened me up to the world of blogging. I've read several, and none of them have become a favorite like yours has. Even though we don't have much in common, I find myself hoping I can grow up and have as much talent and skill as you do! Have fun on your blog break but make sure you come back. I've wanted to comment many times but for some reason have been hesitant, so this really motivated me!

You've been talking about this, and feeling it for a long time, I think. I also think this is a good thing.
I think all bloggers go through this. However, I hope you come back. You're one of my favoritest blogs (In my reader, you're filed as 1 - Awesomest). And I hope the hiatus isn't permanent.

I just found your blog, and I really enjoy your writing. I look forward to reading more!

Oh, fine. Go on your hiatus but please come back?

Spring,

As much as I will miss reading what you post for the next weeks, I am excited that you are taking some time off to write for yourself again. Your saying that has made me realize how much I miss doing that too. I'm excited also to hear about the church and the job... thanks for sharing about the job. It's comforting to hear people say they love their jobs because I am not at all at that point yet and am skeptical about whether or not I will ever be at that point. It is truly encouraging that you love yours, and I am happy for you!

I think it's healthy to take a blog break. I tried, but failed miserably. So I wish you luck :)

Can't wait till your return.

So, way back in December of 05, I started a xanga because I loved reading yours so much. Then, I moved over to blogspot when you left xanga. See, look at your profound influence on my life! And now I love blogging. My posts are probably pretty lame right now because life is so crazy at the moment, but maybe one day I'll get back to writing things that are a little more insightful.

Don't stay gone long. Loves.

Well, I am glad you didn't do that joke. I'm terrible with distinguishing between the fools and the not-fools. I suck!

We'll miss you! See you in a couple weeks!

Come back soon!

I'm slowly trying to return to blogging. I definitely lost steam with my inability to decide what to write and bumpy transition from xanga to wordpress.

I am eager for your return as you have been a guide through this. Good luck!

It's times like these that you must see the value of what you are doing as a blogger. The people who read your blog regularly - who are influenced by it.

I'll be thinking of you as you enjoy your hiatus and reflect on what this blog means to you. Who knows - maybe some of your personal writing will eventually become something you can post here - or share with a wider audience.

Rooting for you.

David

unfortunately, i've been out of the digital age for a couple months...and i totally missed reading your blog.

and, by the way, i totally miss you. perhaps we should meet up soon or something.

So I have kept checking your blog regularly even though I know you are taking a break for two reasons:

1. It's a total habit, and I love it.
2. I've really been hoping that you would come back early.

Looks like you are a woman of your word.

Um? Where is the post? It is almost noon. I want to be reading a new blog post by you.

Love you.
