I spent the first nine years of my life as an only child, so I didn't find it difficult to spend time alone growing as a person and re-establishing my priorities. I'm creative soul, an artist, and I credit my creativity to most of my time alone as a child which led to uninhibited thinking and imagination.
Some consider isolation unhealthy,others aren't sincerely happy so they use outside interaction as a means of fulfillment. Some frown upon such individuality because they are afraid that this type independence will lead to loneliness and certain individuals are simply fearful of being exposed to their own thoughts. But I believe that these meditations are invaluable, because they are your own unique thoughts, and lead to an expansion in the products of the mind.
I consider these same concepts prevalent in the idea of hiatus.
Sometimes we all just need to get away in order to evaluate and process life.
TO THINK.
My hiatus consisted of purification and spiritual enlightenment.
My theory?
Once I expel the weeds, thorns will choke no more.
This proved to be true.
I could contemplate with a sense of clarity that made me look towards the components of my life with a keen eye.I was figuring out who I am and why I am who I am.I could immediately look towards what I may have perceived as failure in the past and understand why I had to “fail” in terms of the present.
After recuperation my vision began unveil itself again. I was working towards my goals, expanding myself creatively, understanding the life I wanted to live and enjoying it completely.My time slots began to fill, I was working. I was creating, learning, loving and I was doing it better than before.
I had taken a break from certain parts of my life to establish new paths.

For Interior Designers, D.I.Y Philosophy Extends To Web Magazine
Quick Takeaway: These are things I have been thinking about for years. Maybe one day Art Star will get there, but we need your help. More writers, more editors, more photographers. Message us and join the team.
The End Of Email
Quick Takeaway: I definitely don't think email is going away anytime soon. Chat is great but the record keeping component is difficult, and the sorting component (what is just dirty jokes between friends and what are the million dollar ideas) even more so. Email can be focused, is easily searchable via google, and give you a chance to organize your thoughts in a way you simply can't do in real-time.
Mobile - It's Not Just For Out-Of-Home Anymore
Quick Takeaway: I have been saying this for going on a year now, but if you aren't thinking about mobile, you aren't even in the game.
