If anybody has read this blog in the past (though I am guessing that isn't the case), it is apparent that all of the old posts have been long deleted. I did this because I felt that this blog wasn't serving the purpose that I had wished it to. I wanted this space to be mine to think freely and maybe encourage conversation. Instead, it became a place of frustration. I would vent but I wouldn't feel any better afterward. I turned it into a dark place when it was supposed to bring me light. Any I couldn't have any of that.
I had grown disinterested in blogging for many reasons, but the most apparent to me upon reflection is that it felt as though nobody cared about what I was saying (like, nobody rad the blog). I find now, however, that it is a comfort to be able to say the things I want to without the burden of having others scrutinize my thoughts. This was always supposed to be for me anyway.
If you've stumbled upon this blog, you are welcome to stay, if this is a place you feel you belong. I know how important such places can be. Please comment if you care to. Let's get this conversation started.
