The First Step is Admitting You Have a Problem

I have been thinking about blogging again for sometime. About a month ago, I even thought of a good blog in my head. I just never wrote it down. And then the motivation faded, as it always does, and I was once again reduced to simply sitting on the couch and dreaming up all sorts of lovely things that I could share with anyone who cared to be shared with. And then a few short days ago, my mother grabbed her ipad, sat down across from me, and said "Why aren't you blogging anymore?" And once again, the motivation came back. Quite possibly out of guilt, but as long as the finished product is available, who cares about how it got there? I think we can safely say that child labor is evidence of that. Too much? Maybe. My apologies.

So now that my motivation to write something profound and witty has come back, I am now faced with the problem of finding some sort of material to draw from so that I can write. In the past, it's been easy: I just write about my travels, and away we go. That is always funny. Well, it is mostly me just making fun of myself, but that'll do! But now I don't have that luxury. I am just at school in Vermont. That is nice and tame. I don't want to write a blog about how awesome I am, because quite frankly, that would be VERY short lived.

So I started a new blog to distance myself from the old ones. I'm a new person, a new me. I have new experiences that I never could have had before, and quite frankly, experiences that I never would have wanted before. I think it is those experiences that I want to write about. I might not post every day, and the postings that I do make will occasionally be dull. Those of you that read it might stop reading it, but that's ok. If you would rather spend your time watching Gossip Girl, I suppose I understand. There are a rather large amount of seasons to catch up on. I am going to write about my reflections, about my thoughts, and about things that I find interesting or intriguing. Or maybe, like this posting, I will just write to fill the space. I know all of this sounds horribly egotistical, but bear with me. It will get better.

I wanted to title this blog "Descent into Madness" but that would have given the wrong tone. I want this to be a place where we can explore the madness, or assumed madness, of everyone else around us. Maybe ourselves too. I have more than my fair share of neurosis. Who doesn't? Essentially, I am going to write about everything and anything. But I sure hope I have a fun time doing it. Stay tuned for the next installment
