How It Goes

"How's your blogging going these days?"

I dare say it isn't, really. 

(Hai, it's me.)

However, I have noticed some people are still visiting, so I want to say that it means a lot to me.

A couple of years ago, I had a blog with a decent following and cute, consistent premise. I would basically tell and illustrate personal anecdotes I thought were poignant, which I think I've only really done once on this one, and with no pictures. I dropped the old blog for personal reasons, and started a new one for even more personal reasons, and promptly, life felt weird.

I think I was able to be consistent with the old blog because it was a very consistent time in my life. I was commuting to college, which I'm good at school; I was in the same relationship the whole time, comfortably feeling like I was in love; family life was stable and nothing new ever happened. Now I'm training for an even more mentally challenging career; my social life is reliant on friends who can't always be there for me when I feel like I need them; and my last grandparent died, my brother changed his name and this very day my sister bought a wedding dress. My feelings are everywhere, and while I've written a post-like little Something almost every day, nothing feels appropriate for long.

But there's always some whimsy in my head I can belch out into words, and I think trying to get back into that will do me some good.
