My blog of half-important thoughts and consistent communication practice. |

There was never much hope. Just a fool's hope. ~Gandalf I'm not going to lie to you I don't have a plan for this blog, but a purpose does seem to be slowly emerging. I'll give my thoughts on this and that: maybe politics, a little religion, and talk about cultural touchstones that are important to me. Overall though I am going to be as personal as I feel comfortable sharing with the internet. This is going to result in some raw ideas coming up that may need to be cooked for longer, but I am not trying to write a perfect tome at the moment. Okay, listen up. Umm...You're a bunch of dirty misfits. But you're all that's left, so you'll have to do. ~Cayde-6 Writing is my passion and working on this blog has become a therapeutic source to me. I owe a lot to everyone who has read this blog; I don't know what interest first brought you here, however, I thank you for the time. Do or do not. There is no try. ~Yoda |
| Hello there, Well we are now halfway through the first month of the year. Welcome to your third year of lockdowns, restrictions, and mandates in a pandemic that has overstayed its welcome. Where has the time gone? It does feel like yesterday that I was seeing reports of an outbreak in China; wondering about how this might impact such a connected world. Honestly, I've made the best of these strange times; hopefully, dear reader, you have been able to do as well. For the first time, my own life feels as interesting a story to tell as anything I've imagined. I have high hopes for this year and the next; come hell or high water. One goal holds my vision and shapes my plans for the year ahead. Strangely enough, this goal unrelated to writing is the main reason why I am writing now. Writing has always been a claiming activity for me and I need to start taking better care of myself, so after a rough start to the year, I am getting back to what I set out to do years ago. It's strange how much getting that preferred author status on this website shattered my confidence after my first decent month of blogging here. I sincerely thought it was a mistake on the part of the community when it happened and felt like a fraud. The yellow suitcase always stood as a certain marker of quality that I didn't think my profile contained. I let that get to me. Call it too high standards, or a fear of disappointing others; it was part of the crucible needed to refine me. The first half of 2020 was certainly the hardest time of my life... and by the end of that year, it was probably the happiest. Forgive me, this time of year always brings my mind to reminisce. However, I can't wait to share that story with the world. I think we all could take comfort in a story of that kind. Deus Vult Gratia, KS P.S. Memento Mori |
