Here I Am Again

I sold y’all a dream last year, didn’t I? (I’m shaking my head at myself if that’s any consolation.) I’m almost as bad as the Cowboys with my let downs. I know. And I apologize for it. Let’s cyber hug it out…

Okay great.

Where have I been, you ask? Everywhere. Right here. Nowhere. Over there. In my skin. I’m learning a lot of new stuff about me and the world I live in. But I’ve been doing that, so why haven’t I been writing? Frankly, I’m avoiding making these things I’ve learned permanent. As I said in my last post, writing these things down is what makes them permanent to me. I’ve been absent from my journal, from tumblr, from facebook (mostly), and from this here blog. But I’ve been present in a lot of other places. People’s homes, inboxes, classrooms, David’s Bridal. I’m doing new shit. I walk/run two miles three times a week.

 Okay I’m lying. I have three days a week that I designate for said walk/run. I seldom make all three. See, this structure/discipline thing is really a struggle for me. Progress is a process, though. And I’m making some pretty decent strides.

I’m watching my friends grow, too. They’re reminding me every day of the wonderful choices I made when I decided to keep them in my life. Next to my family, they are my greatest blessing. I’m proud of them, and I’m so thankful for what they add to my life. But I digress.

Again, I’m here telling you that I’m trying. Maybe you believe me. Maybe you don’t. Maybe no one even reads this blog because of my chronic neglect, so I’m really just talking to myself. That’s fine. I was an only child for eight years. I’m used to this all by myself shit.

Ohhh!!! So. Very soon (tomorrow to be exact), a new blog will be launched. It’s called Progressive Intellectuals. Follow the movement, y’all. You don’t have to agree with everything that we say, but I hope & pray that it inspires you to form your own opinions on shit that really matters.

Until next time. Peace, love & other dope shit.
