Been Away, but Now I'm BAAACK!

I admire people who have time and energy to post to their blogs every day, and have something pithy and important to share.

Last week felt like the end of an era for me, in various ways. The past year has been very, um, not good, and I finally felt free of all the turmoil that has been plaguing me all summer. Staying offline and away from some things I had become obsessed with has helped immensely. It's very easy to lose sight of reality. Reality pales in comparison to an ideal or fantasy, and the ideal never lives up to the perfection of the dream.

But anyway... that is all over. All of it. Gone. Done with. Ended. Over.

Endings are difficult.
