It's been a 100 days since I joined Steemit, and I've been posting mostly my self portrait photography work for anywhere between four to seven days a week. That is four to seven days of coming up with a concept, getting myself ready, shooting, post processing and occasionally writing something to accompany the pictures. There has not been a day where I didn't log on to Steemit even when I wasn't posting myself that day. Quite frankly, I became obsessed right after the first post I made.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing to be obsesses about Steemit, au contraire, but I don't want this to turn into a job or chore for me, to be something I have to do, instead of wanting to do for fun. I already turned one passion into a job I now despise.
I've never before been this inspired and motivated to create, and improve on, my photography than I am now, BUT it has been taking its toll on me. Between Steemit and the necessary evil that is The Day Job, there is not much time for anything else. I've been neglecting my other interests, and people, too.
I'm taking just a couple days off from shooting myself and looking at my own face from the screen for hours while choosing and processing the pictures. Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere for long and I have a couple fun projects I'm working on. Now I'll indulge in some Penny Dreadful, tea and knitting.
I think the mud mask compliments my eye color really well, maybe I should rock this look more often.
Have fun on your break !

So take as many time as you want to regroup EveIt's easy to become addicted by Steem and @eveuncovered
Its tough balancing steemit. At times I feel like its an addiction, or some sort of distraction from what I really need to work on. At others it can feel like a chore. Trying to find a balance though has been as rewarding at it has been challenging.
Yes definitely, I'm trying to find balance on how much time I should invest in this.
Will miss your posts😪But have fun on your sabbatical! 😜
Don't worry darling, I'm already working on something new, I'll be back with a bang 😉
🙋😄
you are a good friend who support me. the best friend's in this esetim. please you please i love my poetry. i accept your suggestion
Sometimes the stars align in just the right way whereby our motivations and desires simply take over - and rule the day... Inspiration is the mother of invention - and you my dear Eve, are an inspiration not only to yourself but to all those who aspire to acquire your lust for life and engagement therewith…
Inpiration surely has taken over me! But what comes to being inspiration to others, I wouldn't know.
Dorian Gray: Photographs are so ironically impermanent. They capture one moment in time to perfection. A painting can capture eternity.
That is why I take so many photographs, trying to catch the eternity of myself.
thx for sharing
nice look ;)
You should enter this contest:

The new theme is the human body, thought it would be appropriate for you!
I'm not really into those contests, too many rules and all 😉
but there was only one rule, mark nsfw if nude.
Penny Dreadful Season 1 & 2 were great, Season 3 was disappointing.
We'll be here when you get back :-)
Anti social , humh yeah
Enjoy your time off! UPVOTED.
I know how you feel! I'm doing steemit on top of my full time day job and a part time night job. In fact, I'm eating my dinner getting ready for job 2 as I type this. It's tough and it important to take a break now and then to recharge your batteries :) Enjoy your time off and see you when you get back :)
I just wish I could take the time off from the real work and do this! Much more fun :D Your work seems like a hassle, remember to take care of yourself!
I'm sure in time, if you continue to grow your account like you have, that you will be able to live off steemit very soon! :) My work is a hassle sometimes, it's certainly tiring. But thanks, I will remember :)
Haha, that will be a long way to go with the spending habits I have, a girl needs new clothes.. ;D Weirdly, as you never see me wearing much...
lol! I can understand that :)
It can be hard to do this seven days a week. Especially when you've found some success - you start to feel like taking a break will make you miss something extremely important.
But do take all the time you need for your health and sanity. You've given us so many beautiful photos already and we'll all still be here when you're ready to share more.
Yeah I guess I've started off pretty well, though I definitely still feel like a newcomer!
Can't hold my inspiration down for long, already working on something 😅
Oh good - something to look forward to!
So lovely
Thanks! :)
I really like that model on your face. You are a very beautiful and very creative girl
Penny Dreadful...I watch that show!
Only couple more episodes to watch :(
Recharge those creative batteries.
Run in a field, sing a song, party with friends.
Steemit can wait. Inspiration isn't an assembly-line affair, as you know.
Enjoy the time off.
The thing is, I have plenty of inspiration, time, not so much :/
I totally understand you :)
Take a break, we'll be here when you return ;)
Take a break dear and recharge. Looking forward for your next pictures 🤗
I already started working on something, inspiration couldn't stay away! :)
For me it is just the opposite ! I have been too busy doing ummm... stuff :D Take it easy and enjoy the few sunny days we have left this year :) We have the whole cold & loooong winter coming :(
Haha I can relate to that too! I'll surely have to make a run for some warmer, or at least brighter place for a little while in the winter.
Jamaica would be nice.. ;D
Wouldn't mind that at all..
Well let's go then! You can pay our trip with your Steem ! ;DD
Enjoy your break. Try not to miss me too much. I know I can become addictive. :)
It's getting hard but the reunion will be all the more better!
You're doing the right thing, otherwise, you will - as you said - ultimately reach a breaking point, no snapping or hating, just plain indifference, this sort of rot sets in one's soul and grows inside, keep on rotating between new or different things, don't trap yourself in a never-ending circle and always strive for change.
Also wanted to say that you've got a charming gaze and a colorful aura, good luck!
late upvote for the tee
Too little, too late :(
