It occurred to me today that I have left a massive sinkhole in the middle of my story. I was a regular blogger for a few years, and then I disappeared. And then I reappeared! With a totally new life! What happened in between then and now, you may ask (if you were a previous follower). Who the hell are you, you may wonder (if you have stumbled upon my blog for the very first time). So, it will be my aim in the following weeks to fill in the spaces, and maybe delve into my "origins" in more detail. One thing I have come to realize is that my beginnings affect the rest of my journey. Do they dictate my future? No. Do they rule over what happens to me the rest of my life? No. But the happenings did shape my beliefs, my personality, my backbone. They gave me something to work with, something to be challenged by. I refuse to say, this is why I have the emotional issues I have, so I'm fucked and there's no point in trying. Instead, I concur that there are things in my childhood and beyond that may have contributed to these issues, so my challenge is to recognize, accept, and work through them so that I become stronger and wiser. This is the essence of life.
I have an icky headache, so I hope the previous paragraph made sense. Look for more posts soon!
