Things are different now. Things feel different, I feel different. Unrecognizable. Maybe it’s because I’m older, but the words don’t seem to flow to paper the way they used to. I feel like I lose them somewhere along their way through my fingers. It’s been 5 years since I last published anything here and honestly probably almost that long since I wrote anything meaningful in the first place. A lot has happened in those 5 years – some things are exponentially better, and some exponentially worse. I need to write about it, need an outlet, need to unburden myself in ways that don’t just transfer it to someone else. I’m going to start writing again, and maybe what I do write will find it’s way back here to my tiny, abandoned corner of the internet. We’ll see. Maybe there’s nothing wrong with putting a message in a bottle.
