hello august

the funny thing about a blog is that you re-read your own thoughts as they came to you then

my last blog's header was "young & free in nyc" and that's really a motto i lived up to
but for some reason it doesn't seem appropriate this time around
i think about where i was in my life when i started that blog, where i was in my life as i blogged in it often
the things that happened as i drifted away from it, and the things that have happened since i last wrote in it.

i'm glad those posts are still there, somewhere
but i don't want to keep going with that blog anymore
that chapter's closed.

all i ever do these days is read and re-read over and over things that i've stored, saved, starred.
things that
remain

& it feels heavy every once in a while
blogging then was therapeutic,
maybe it'll be the same this time around

so here's to a new blog
a place to pour my thoughts
as i enter this new chapter.

dear august, please be good to me.
you were always my favorite.
