It's Been a While Now...

March 8th, 2010, I sat down at the computer and started this blog.

A lot has happened since then. Over the course of the last year, I seriously considered leaving this place behind--perhaps it no longer fit me like it once did. The thing is, blogs are beautiful because they fit us individually. No matter where we find ourselves, or which fork in the road we choose to take.

We lived M/s for a very long time. We never really stopped being it, but somewhere along the way, we did stop living it. We have decided to begin making our way back into the deep end. To once again live what we are.
I struggle desperately with the dichotomy of managing a shitload of people and responsibilities, and being a slave. This struggle is not exactly made easier by the fact that we work together and the company was restructured in order to avoid any semblance of him telling me what to do. Ironic, no?

A lot has happened since I started this blog. I found a home in Blogland. A place where I fit. Not being here has not been good for me. Being consumed by work, I find that I often have little to say that I can actually share here, and even less time to say anything at all.

I miss you. All of you. The awesome regulars that, for some strange reason, have never deserted me, the quiet ones who peek their heads out occasionally to say hello, even the annoying and odd anonymouses who are so very sure I'm doing it wrong (they may be right, but I don't mind).

So thank you. Thank you for being you, and taking the time to read me.

  1. I come for the poetry. lol. Really, lil, I feel a kinship, no matter how silly that may sound because our lifestyles are totally different but it's there and I'll come visit as long as you're around.

  3. With the upmost sincerity, I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't found your blog. At the very least I would have one less friend, which is a pretty deal. I think it goes without saying (but I'm gonna say it anyway), I will read here as long as you give me words to read.

    Enough with the corny crap...

    Congrats on making it six years!

  5. I lurk, quite happily, and am always pleased to see a new post here. I love reading your words--so often, even though I'm just starting out and you've been living M/s for so long, you put words to emotions I struggle to express. Thank you for sticking.
