I'm back.

 sometime early 2024

Hello. 

It's high time for a new blog. I know the glory days of blogging are over, the side lists of "blogs I follow," the online parties, the keeping up with each other or being discovered by new readers.

The need for privacy, the changes brought by social media, the risks of discovery, the need for anonymity. 

And yet. 

Journaling isn't the same; there's something about blogging that's like writing a letter to someone, a very personal letter, yet you don't have to make eye contact while doing it. 

So I am back, kicking my way through the risks, draping those around me with sheets and shadows, knowing so keenly the need to protect those I love. I'll protect them as fully as I can. 

But I need to write.
