where do we go from here?
As I mentioned in one of my blog entries earlier, it's time to shut down this blog.
Otherwise, I fear that this blog will die a natural death. I fear that it will just fade away and soon enough, it will be some kind of relic, a forlorn reminder of what my life was like at one point.
I fear that I have long lost the drive to put my thoughts into words. Writing is hard work and I just don't feel that I'm up to it anymore. Plus, the new job is just too taxing, too draining, and too energy-sapping. At the end of every work day, I don't have anything else to give. And some of the stuff and shit that I had to go through are not making it any easier.
I started out back in 2004 and it's been a long journey. I'm glad to have known some very nice people and some not-very-nice people. I made some great friends too. I've learned a lot of things about friendship and loyalty. I went through enough shit to last me five lifetimes and boy, it's been a catalogue of highs and lows. Some were not terribly dignified, but that's OK too because the main thing is to learn from the lessons of life.
At the risk of sounding a little Obama-esque, I do think that it is time for change. This is my 800th entry, and this blog will be no more. I suppose I could, should continue but it's not going to accomplish anything or serve any purpose. It can be a dreadfully brutal world, blogosphere, and I'm not sure if I can stomach it all. So I've decided to step back and maybe do other stuff, you know. It's time to move on, or at least do things differently.
It was fun while it lasted, and it was a great therapy. But for now, my head and my heart are just not the right places at the moment, so it's time to say goodbye.
From now on, the cyber version of me will only exist in Facebook. That is where I now conduct a small part of my life, and you can look me up if you feel like (although I must tell you that I'm not a big fan of superpoke this or pillow-fight that).
I will continue to write about people and things which I care about - my daughter, my family, my feelings, my hopes, dreams, fears - but it's going to be in a somewhat restricted realm. I still want to write and record my memories of the past; where I'd been, my happy places, all the memories which have remained stubbornly lodged in my head. I need to figure out where I am now, where I'm headed and all the stuff I want to do in life.
Thank you for your support, and thank you for the memories.
I'll see you around, folks.
