Whelp!
It’s slightly ironic that now that we’ve sort of gotten back in the groove, I’m saying things are changing. And we may even be on a bit of a pause again.
I’ve been doing this blog for 10ish years now. (Ish because it’s been 11, but I did take about a 2-year break in there. So, it’s 11, or 9, or 10ish, depending on how you look at it.)
I have no intention of completely stopping the blog. I think I’ll still be here every year for the new birthday thing and the birthday questions, probably the year-in-reviews, hopefully some international trips, more 52-in-52 projects, and occasional stories here and there – and of course whatever new endeavors I take like more schooling, or putting more creative works up.
And hopefully I’ll have more marathons and other athletic events, starting next year when I do the New York Marathon.
Plus(!) I am still determined to give my kidney to a stranger on of these days. And you will be the first to know when it happens!
So, obviously, when I list it all out like that, it doesn’t seem like I’m going anywhere too far for too long. I’ll be around. Just not every day… at least for a while. (And I’m not sure if I’ll ever desire to do daily posts again.)
A lot has changed in the last 11 years. Video has kind of been the new way people update people on what’s up. I’ve certainly, as I’m sure you can tell, seem to become more enamored with TikTok than blogging for at least the time being.
Also, we’ve had a major pandemic. While I have still gone places (while generally taking many precautions), I do a lot more from home now – which isn’t as riveting to tell stories about, usually.
Plus, so much of my life in the last few years has revolved around school and getting more degrees. And yes, there’s definitely stuff to talk about in that realm, but every day?
I have a lot of things I’m applying to, classes I’m taking, and skills I’m trying to gain. But that’s generally more long-term stuff, and doesn’t have enough updates to make it work me updating you every. single. day.
If you’re a blog subscriber, you still might see random bursts of posts here and there, as there are STILL empty spots in the calendar from places I made a draft or wrote down an idea and just never officially posted. And now that I’m not beholden to posting every day, and I do have the time to go back and fill it in, I am gonna try to do that. I would like one big cohesive thing that has everything I meant to say – if I can ever finish it.
So, I will be around – ish. (And I really look forward to seeing you every time I am!) Just don’t expect regular updates for a while. If I end up taking on another big project and am able to jump back into daily posting, I will most definitely let you know!
See you when I see you!
