I'm Still Here

My last post was November 21. That's the longest I've gone without writing since I started this blog. It's not that I don't have time; there are plenty of things I waste my time on that would be better spent here. I just got lazy and a little sad, to be honest. While some people may appreciate a nice, consistent routine, I mistook routine for rut. And thanks to my spiral of self pity, I missed out on a lot of wonderful things in the past couple of months.

But I'm trying to pull myself out. And I hope to get back to the place where I enjoyed writing more frequently, where I felt that the things going on in my life were worth documenting. Not for anyone else, but for me.

I don't know about you but I have a destructive tendency to let bad things get worse because I can't imagine trying to fix them. Sometimes it's little things, like the time in college I waited all semester to talk to a professor about a grade I got in the first week. Sometimes it's bigger things, like letting a friendship go completely sour because I didn't want the confrontation. And so it was with this little blog. It seems very trivial in the scheme of things, but the thought of starting this back up was a little overwhelming for me.

But here it is. And maybe I'll be back tomorrow.
