with 8 days to spare!

I almost made it a whole year without a post! haha. oops.

anyway, I've just spent the last 45 minutes or so looking back through this blog. I've had the itch to blog lately, but I'm an easily-distractable girl. always. still. even at 25.

I figured I'd post here for now, but this doesn't really feel like my place anymore. I never really made it mine, and in so many of my posts, I can read between my own lines & see the me who is always trying not to look too bad but to still be honest and and and. which is fair, because who wants to look bad? but that's not where I want to be in my life. I hide all the time, everywhere, always. so when I finally possibly maybe commit to blogging, I don't want to hide. fair?

in the meantime, my dear 7 followers, I love you all. I miss having you in my life, and I'll be sure to post a link to my new blog here somewhere. when I start it. ;)

oy.

sometimes I get so overwhelmed with love for people -- even (& sometimes especially) strangers -- that I feel like my heart could just burst without warning.

antsy.

I'm struggling with a lot of arguments on all sides of everything (literally everything. not just politics. promise.) lately, & my inability to articulate my own thoughts on it all is making me antsy.

All I've really managed to do is acquire a desperate, grasping hope that I've somehow not yet succumbed to doing the very things that make me cringe.

Thing that make you go "hm."

Word.
