My blog is going through an early-life crisis: although the intention of my blog was not to write about travel, the bulk of my writing has been inspired by the past seven months of life abroad and my re-entry into the States. However, now that life has returned to “normal” (o lo que sea), I’ve had a difficult time deciding whether or not to continue blogging. Here are my issues: Who am I that I should put my life and thoughts up for the world to read? Why should I expect that people want to read my thoughts? I don’t offer a space for controversial discussions about politics, religion, etc. (I think those things should instead be discussed at dinner tables and parties!) I don’t want to enter the crowd of people “searching for intimacy in any form possible,” as I read in some TIME magazine. I've been stuck.
After speaking with a few people who know me very well and who are very straightforward (great attributes for people who help guide my life), I’ve decided to continue and let the blog develop as it will. I’ve loved writing; I’ve loved having an outlet for writing; and having this space motivates me to write better than I would in my own journals. And I like that. Regardless of whether this is read or not.
So. Let us continue with the games of life. And with the words they stir and incite…
