Dear Blog,
For the last year, I was unable to partake in one
of my favourite activities…blogging. The website that hosted my blog since 2006
closed down and the search for a new home started. This in itself can be quite
traumatic, as I was to find out later on. I was comfortable with my previous
site and I knew the other bloggers very well. Some even became friends outside
of the blogging community, and to this day is still very close to me.
I missed writing, discussing, debating and
analysing my own thoughts and experiences. It is amasing how your soul dies
little bits every day when you do not write, at least that is what happens to
me. My soul soars when I write. I’m not the best writer there is and I merely
express whatever random and crazy thoughts I have. My blog is and never was for
the entertainment of others, but merely a form of escapism for myself.
A lot of people have asked me over the years why I
blog. I tried to explain, but unfortunately, not everyone understands. People
assume blogging is in order to get attention. Trust me, if I wanted attention I
would take all my clothes of and run around naked in the streets. Not that
anyone would really want to see that…
It’s going to be difficult to get back into the
habit of blogging, but I believe the time is right. It’s time for me to start
feeding my soul. I’ve spent enough time feeding my career, and dealing with
family dramas and secrets. Oh yes, the last 8 months have seen 2 major family
secrets come to light. For an outsider looking in I guess they would assume
that I should be extremely upset and hurt by the information, but I’m not. I
actually feel free for the first time in my life. Truly free, and I finally
understand so many things that happened in my past.
The old saying of “the truth will set you free” has
most definitely been a theme in my life the last 8 months. A theme I plan on taking
through as far as I can.
See how quickly I ramble on about various things…this
was supposed to be my intro blog and already it’s turned into a whole post.
How I’ve missed this J
