Hello There, Old Friend...

Why hello, blog world, so nice to see you again.  You'll have to excuse me for my little hiatus, I was merely busy living life being too lazy to write.

Yes, too lazy was definitely the reason.  Coupled with too tired and too busy.  But mostly just too lazy.

However, while I might have been too lazy to drop a note, I was having a grand ol' time living life (see? not a complete fib).

The problem with this, though, was that blogging became a chore to me.  I started this blog as a way to document my struggles and successes (and just damn good times!) that I encountered as I navigated my crazy life.  Which is great.  In theory.  But what it became was a daunting task I felt tied to - to write a review on every musical I saw, to upload pictures from every fun night I had out with friends, and to give the world my thoughts on every book I devoured.

And while that is good and I do want to preserve these memories I'm making, maybe that's not what I need this blog for anymore (thank you, Instagram, for stepping in as my memory-keeper!).

What I need this blog for now is to organize my thoughts; to send my ideas out into the world.  And while many of my deepest ponderings and true concerns will be absent from my posts, I think it will be helpful for myself to at least allow you a little peek into my heart.  And, really, can you blame me for being a bit withdrawn?  You never know who might stumble across this and read it...

Cheers to being back amongst the masses.
