Sometimes taking a step back is healthy, even when things are going well.
Rest assured there are still plenty of people out in Gridcoinland who very much appreciate your effort and dedication.
We can not really stop people from creating FUD, thats the problem of a decentralized environment, in the end you have to believe what you are doing is right, and let that console you when people try and tear down what you have done.
So take your time, relax, forget all about us, and if you feel rested and ready to return, then do so. If you dont, it will be a real loss, but ultimately you only get one life, and what you do has to make you happy, thats much more important than Gridcoin.
Good luck!
