I began this blog nine years ago. It was made to fill a certain criteria for the course I was studying at the time. Very soon after creating it I realised that I really enjoyed having an outlet for my creativity, whatever it was I was thinking or doing at the time always had a home in this blog.
It must have been as I was coming to the end of my degree, three years after starting this that I just stopped updating it. Perhaps it had just run its course, maybe having an underactive thyroid that was undiagnosed at the time had just taken the motivation out of me, it could have been that I simply didn't feel creative anymore, regardless of the reason this blog became neglected and forgotten for six years.
When I think about what has happened in the last six years it's a hell of a lot, far too much to write in this one post. I've still wrote, taken pictures, and had my hand in creating things, it just never made its way here where it belonged.
The reason I'm writing this on here now is in some way an attempt to get me to write more for a purpose, to motivate me and inspire me to get back to being the person who loved to create these posts no matter what they were, or if anybody saw them at all. The truth is I love writing and I feel I have something to say, and the ability to say it in such a way that people enjoy reading it. I may not draw, illustrate, or paint as much as I used to but there is still a part of me that needs to express what I'm feeling, thinking, and experiencing.
It's the first of January 2019, I've drank a really strong coffee and I'm finding it difficult to get to sleep. I've just moved into a new house and at present the only bedding I have is a fitted sheet, a crochet blanket, and two jackets which are my pillows for this evening. In no way am I complaining, I've slept in slight variations of this in the Summer. However, moving house on New Year's Day when the shops close early and you could do with buying bedding is probably something I'll pass on in the future.
This also seems like as good a time as any to bring back this blog and get me to write again. I have no idea what's going to follow, but let's just see what happens.
