Hello!
It's been almost five years since I went to Canada in July 2013, and I haven't written a single blog post since coming back the following February. I've wanted to, but not known what to write about.
Well, no. The only thing I could think of was - my life. My thoughts and feelings, experiences, etc. A sort of online diary. What stopped me doing that was not knowing what, how much, would be appropriate to put out there. I guess I still don't, but I do want to start writing again, and for people to get to know me, so I'm just going to do it. I'm going to write about a day trip I took this weekend and that'll be a start.
Another thing is that, while I enjoyed it, writing was exhausting. I spent hours and hours writing and editing posts, staying up till the early hours. That hasn't changed - I'm editing this after finishing the post that will come after this one, about Guernsey, and that one took around five and a half hours. It's 4am, I've just heard the first early blackbirds, the sky is starting to lighten and I have to get up in three and a half hours for work. I'll feel the effects, but I chose to stay up and write it because I knew that once I go back to daily life, I wouldn't be able to write it as easily, the memory wouldn't be as fresh, I wouldn't be as motivated to switch on my laptop at home after sitting in front of a computer screen at work all day.
I can't and don't want to carrying on doing that, though, I'll need to find other ways so I don't stay up so late. I guess it's just practice, maybe. Anyway, for now, this and the following one are both done, and I'm publishing a blog post for the first time in 4.5 years! I hope you enjoy reading them :)
