Out of the Way

Blogging hasn't left my mind since June. June. Yes, June! (And for the record it's December) Ever since I wasn't able to blog as frequently this summer, I built up this anticipation and expectation that my first blog post after my summer hiatus had to be nothing other than epic. I had to have all these cool thoughts, stories, perspectives, ideas, opinions... yadda, yadda, yadda. Well, all I did was put this unreasonable and silly expectation on myself for no reason whatsoever. No one was doing it to me, just me doing it to myself.

Since June, I find myself thinking- "Oh that would be something cool to blog about. Or, I have something to say about this or that...." Why I never did blog about it, is beyond me. It goes back to that unnecessary pressure. Humph.

After having 2 conversations recently of me being asked about why I haven't blogged recently, I told myself I need to get over myself and do it. Here I am, at 2:19 am in the library, getting over myself, when I should be studying for my final exam tomorrow morning!!! (Anything to out off reality a little longer eh?)

So here's to me blogging about nothing really, just getting the first one out of the way so I can move on to other things. Hooray!
Whew, glad that's over with.

Random poem I've been liking recently:

The Five Freedoms

"To See and Hear

what is here,

instead of what should be,

was, or will be

To Say 

what one feels and thinks

instead of what one should

To Feel 

what one feels,

instead of what one ought

To Ask

for what one wants,

instead of always waiting

for permission

To Take Risks

in one's own behalf,

instead of choosing to be

only 'secure'

and not rocking the boat"

-Virginia Satir

Thanks for reading! Happy thoughts :)

It's good to be back :)
