I used to blog a lot. Sometimes several times a day but I haven't really blogged in the past couple of years and I didn't give it much thought. Maybe I was too busy trying to live day by day.
Well, this past summer I participated in a summer blogging event with the Reverb Broads. They provided prompts and while I didn't use each prompt, I did blog quite a bit considering my radio silence until that point, so to speak.
Tonight I wasn't sleepy and rather than fight uselessly to go back to sleep, I opened up blogger. My previous blog redirected to a personal domain that my ex bought as birthday present but it's since expired and I haven't felt like removing the redirect. I liked not being able to read my thoughts from when I was still with him.
For whatever reason, I got curious to see what I wrote about and I deleted the redirect. My last post was March 1, 2011, exactly two years ago today.
This made me think about my ex for two reasons. First of all, March 1st, was a silly joke between us and every year we would try to be
the first one to wish the other person, "Happy March 1st day!" We
didn't do this with other months, just March. The reason why we started
this silly tradition is silly, but it was a tradition that we did for 6
years. The second reason why this reminded me of his was because around this time, two years ago, is when Dan and I announced our separation and divorce.
It seems like a coincidence but like V, I don't believe in coincidence.
I never really thought about why I paused blogging until just now. Subconsciously I was probably trying to sort out the various emotions I was experiencing privately without it coming back to haunt me, after all, "The internet is forever." This is a good thing for sure but at the same time, blogging was a nice hobby and avenue for self-expression.
I can't say that I am for sure going to continue blogging, but the urge is there again so that's a good sign.
