I'm back, with my tail between my legs, begging forgiveness

I'm ashamed to have to admit to how poor of a blogger I have been, and still am. I'm young. I'm hip. Aren't I? I'm a product of the digital age. I have electricity now and a fancy, schmancy desktop that is just aching to be used for more than playing The Sims. And I'm a writer. I should be ON TOP of the blogging scene. I should be the blogging master. But I'll let you in on a little secret: I'm a paper elitist. I like to handwrite things. I don't think there's anything better than putting a pen to paper and seeing what comes out.

And I'll tell you something else: I don't like to do things half-assed. If I can't commit myself to something 100%, I don't see the point in doing it, and so I just sweep it under the rug and forget about it. I started this blog last year because one of my professors told us that we had to start blogging and what came out was stiff, rigid, and blatantly academic. You can take a look--all those things labeled, "Capstone, Core, Champlain" etc. are all assignments that I completed for a class. The blog didn't feel like mine and so I just kind of gave up on it after the semester ended. But now I'm back and I've got a whole new "taking my life back" attitude, and guess what? I'm taking my blog back.

I think I need this blog. I think it will be therapeutic to start writing again. And I mean, really writing. About more than just assignments and class work. I want to write about things that interest me and that don't involve Champlain College. I've been in a rut lately. People used to call me the Love Doctor because I always wrote love stories, but I haven't been feeling very loving for a while now, and so I've been lost in my writing. What does a Love Doctor do when they aren't feeling loving? That's something that I've been struggling with. But as I said, I'm taking my life back. I'm taking my love back.

So, I'm sorry that I've been shitty. I've been just as shitty to be around in person, I can promise you. But I'm going to try to be better now and keep this thing updated more than once in a millennia. And who knows what will happen? Maybe we can build a beautiful friendship.
