Back

This is probably the longest break I've taken from blogging ever since I started blogging back in High School. That's kind of sad, because I've always enjoyed writing - not only that, but writing used to help me think through issues and ideas; I felt like I perceived more of the world; in turn, I felt like I had more fodder for creative ideas and thoughts that poured out seemingly a dime a dozen.

In short: I felt like I was brilliantly insightful and could lay down insight and witticism with careless ease. A few months ago I was talking with a friend of mine about how both us of used to write a lot "back in the day" and no longer did. We shared the sentiment of "ahhh, crap, I no longer have anything interesting to say...I'm getting old and boring!"

I went back and read some of my old blog and diary entries. Yes, I used to be quite expressive, and yes, I used to be pretty insightful. However, it turns out I wasn't nearly the master wordsmith nor cutting-edge intellectual I thought I was. Writing seems harder now because I understand more about what it takes to construct and convey ideas.

Regardless, I think I'm ready to start blogging again. Starting with later on today: I'm playing a tarot game with myself on Twitter, and I'm going to post the results and some thoughts here. Yay.
