Closing up.

     So, here's the real reason I believe I haven't been willing to update this thing.

     Jon and I broke up for good about two months ago. Believe it or not, I'm not upset -- I haven't felt this good in a long time. Since the time school started, things got really harsh and very difficult. Jon had a really hard time adjusting to college life. It took a toll on me as well -- I just kind of stopped doing things I enjoyed, partially because of adjusting to college, but truly because maintaining that relationship was very draining. It was emotionally pretty rough, so I just threw myself into work and school. Sure, I have a decent GPA to show for it (if you must know: 3.67), but I'm really upset that I didn't document my freshman year. In retrospect, though, it's probably best that I didn't...it would be difficult for me to read. There'd be a lot of anger, and a lot more tears.

     This isn't going to be a goodbye -- in fact, it's more of a reacquaintance. I started seeing someone new, and being with him has pretty much been like flipping a lightswitch. I've been drawing and writing a lot more on my own time, and -- you guessed it -- I've been wanting to start blogging again. However, looking over this blog reminds me of how hard I tried to keep a relationship alive that was ultimately so damaging to everything I was and am. I just don't want to use this one anymore -- I want to start fresh. I deserve it, I think.

    Scratch that. I know I deserve it.

     I will update this post with the new URL once I get some time to configure everything. I'm making a new screen name, new email address, and just starting all over again.

In the words of VOX: [this is good]!
