User blog:Olimar McCain/Might be taking a break

I don't know if you people noticed, but I've been getting increasingly less active on here the past few weeks. There's a reason for that; I've been losing my motivation and I fear that a burnout is coming if I keep going the way I do now.

There are a few reasons for that:


 * 1) I feel ignored. I've been sending messages about organizing things and asking if certain edits break rules. I've noticed that people have stopped responding to me, without saying any names. It just feels like some don't want to collaborate with me anymore and it's really demotivating. (This is not about people who got into fights with me for this and that, I'm referring to those who genuinely don't respond to most of my messages)
 * 2) Constantly having to clean up after others is exhausting. I know that I don't have much authority on here and nobody is forcing me to do that. But every other day, there's a new face that clearly only made an account on here to put their own two cents without any regard for rules or proper editing guidelines. This is supposed to be a hobby, but it's starting to feel like a chore.
 * 3) I'm neglecting my university duties in favor of this. I was already struggling with them, but me forcing myself to continuously create pages or categorize/update them just makes me realize that I could be using my time more wisely. No offense, but I should've gotten that degree by now and I've got nobody to blame but myself for that.

I will most likely still check in now and again to see what's new. I did plan to do regular movie nights and update things on weekends (or whenever I find time for that) to prepare for 2024 releases. I've got at least 2 new fandom pages planned for December, maybe more if time will allow.
