Back Again

Wow. Two months short of completing two years away from this space. Where did all that time disappear?

Of course I have mulled over possible posts, made notes and even put together  blog schedules. But honestly, there has been such a lack of inspiration and such a bout of laziness that in the scheme of things that need my constant attention, the blog has been the first to gather dust in a neglected corner.

There was also a point when I was wondering if I should delete the blog altogether. Why must I write when I've nothing to say, I've been asking myself.

This space is not a personal diary or journal. Since I don't do exciting stuff like travel to exotic places, create stunning pieces of art, get creative in the kitchen or do fun DIY projects, there is no real theme to it. I'm not a mommy blogger or a fitness freak, I don't do product reviews and if you know me personally, you know I don't qualify to be fashion blogger either. Why must anyone take an interest then? I'm yet to gather the courage to share any of my poems or short stories with the world. So that's another reason out the window.

Why must I write when I have nothing to share.

After giving it a looo-ooot of thought, I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to grant the blog a last fighting chance.  At the end of the day, it's my space, even if it is about nothing. And maybe, just maybe, that makes it 'something'.

A blog about nothing. Think of it as a scribble pad of sorts. Something to scroll through when you have nothing to do. A quiet conversation. Little musings you may browse through, perhaps late at night when you have a few moments to yourself. Of course it also gives me something to do, something to write. And every once in a while when a comment pops up, it's a happy surprise that adds a bit of glitter to my day.

So I guess that's that. I'm hoping I'll stick with it now. And this time, I'm going to put in the effort & pick up the courage to step outside the comfort zone of family and close friends (eep!).

A friend has been on a mission to write a little something each day of the year. What's more, she's actually managed to stick with it. It's quite inspiring because I've always  struggled with discipline, as an attitude. But posting once a week seems quite doable. So, with a new, clean look, a fresh name and a blank page, I begin this practice once more.
