So This past week was very stressful for me; I had to study for my Biology Teacher Examination and I called into work so I could study… I PASSED 😁 Now, the reason I am making this silly thread is that I wasn’t on E4 for almost a week and I feel like I missed a whole generation of Pokémon lol. **How long have you gone without E4? What’s the most important thing you have missed? A pre-order? A card?** ---

i don’t know how long i’ve been here… 4 + years almost… it’s becoming so hard to read everything these days…as there is too many threads. worst experience, maybe last year, i missed the xmas secret santa… i was away a few months as i was moving houses, and countries. Then come back, and everyone is sharing secret santa posts 😭 i’ve been in every year, except one… \>.\<’’ i can’t wait for this years 😊 ---

I always take time away from the hobby when I need it. I think it’s an incredibly important skill to have as a healthy human bean to be able to put things away when something else in life calls on your attention. Congratulations! And good on you for having the maturity necessary to set those kinds of limits for yourself and follow through. ---

I take breaks every once in a while. I think the longest break was just shy of a year. I always find myself getting engulfed with side projects and other things that I am not able to multitask into as many facets as usual. ---

When I joined here I basically joined to get the Shiny Rayquaza EX Promos from Glenn when there was the distribution with the release of XY6. After that I spent some time without entering here, almost a year I think. But after that I came back and became active and I think there’s only been few days I haven’t entered. I try to enter at least once a day and I always check everything new 😊 After becoming active here I basically stopped visiting the Finnish Pokemon Forum as there the people generally are much younger and more interested in the TCG side of things. I think as a collector this forum suits me so much better 😊 ---

Hmm, not sure. I rarely post, but I’m here pretty much every day. I kinda just skim through to stay in the loop ---
