I don't like the whole off-and-on thing. I don't like 'taking a break.' Either you're with me, or you're not. And that's how I kind of deal.

I was taking a break from university so I could play handball full-time for a year.

I saw that my image was changing or fading. One of the reasons for taking a break from clubs was to be missed-not forgotten.

I'm taking a break from music... everyone was so mean about it and it was so hard that I wanted to die.

Right now I'm taking a break from hip-hop documentaries. But I would do it if things lined up.

It is OK to take a break. Sometimes we want something so much that we diligently give effort towards it day after day after day. When you feel tired, remember to not guilt yourself over taking a break. It is OK. You can pick up where you left off tomorrow. Ask for help if you can. Exercise some self-care. Look after your own needs. Love yourself. Be kind and generous towards yourself. Remind yourself as to why you are important. Refresh and recharge your spirit.
