Just like that, another year gone
Time flies when life isn't shitty, huh?
Ok, that was a rather crass way to open up a post, especially since I haven't posted anything in months. Honestly, though, I've been so busy just enjoying life that I haven't had time to just sit and ruminate on all that's going on in the world and my life. And you know what?
It. Feels. Fantastic.
Despite the total lack of posts, 2011 has been an amazing year for me. I mentioned it all in the brief ten-year anniversary post: new job, new car, new boyfriend, new outlook on everything. I gained about five pounds, which has forced me to buy new pants. But all in all, good times.
I like to think that I will look back at 2011 as the year I got my swagger back. After two back-to-back years of feeling completely hopeless about where life was taking me, everything's falling back into place again. Yeah, I'm still living at home, but I think I'm going to be able to make a move in 2012.
Hopefully.
I was in the car on my way home from work today and thought about this blog and all that it's meant to me and still means to me. I've noticed the gradual drop off in my posting, and it's led me to realize that I don't need to feel guilty for not posting as often as I need to. Maybe I've outgrown my journaling/blogging phase. Or not. I still don't know.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I'm allowing myself to do what I've already done. I'm officially declaring a hiatus from My Twenty-Something Quasi-Soap. Now, take whatever meaning from the word "hiatus" that you would like. Maybe this means that I'll be inspired to start something new. Maybe I'll take a few years off and come back to this when I'm at another new phase in my life (new location, new marital status, parenthood - oy!). Maybe I'll decide to come back to this instead of watching hours upon hours of back-catalog television. Or something insane will happen tomorrow and I'll be right back here. Who knows? The official status, for now, is hiatus.
And, for now, that's all I've got to say about that.
