Just getting it out there...

It's been a while since I posted last. I think ever since I heard about this space being used as an avenue for negativity towards me, I have felt apprehensive about writing in here. As always, I encourage feedback and discussion about the things I write, but it's unsettling to hear that it's behind my back or in some sarcastic anonymous blog comment. Either way, it's not in my control, so I'm doing my best to brush it off.

The irony here is that these persons are probably realizing now that I have a decent idea about who they are. To you -- know that no matter your opinion of me, I'll probably still smile at you and hold a casual conversation with you because I have come to terms with the fact that you don't feel like having the truth come up in conversation between us (or else you probably would have brought it up by now). Now you know that I know, and now you know that I don't care enough to change the way I interact with you or diminish the respect I hold for you.

A lot has happened, a lot is continuing to happen, and I'm floating on -- still listening to dubstep, still writing as much as I can (but this time in a journal and not on the web), and still dancing my heart out when I get the chance. Some things have changed, of course -- I'm dating a pretty incredible guy, writing fiction again, and feeling the end of college loom around the corner. While I used to feel only excitement for the end of this chapter, I now feel a bit more... mixed. I think a lot of people I know are probably having similar feelings right now. Such is the inevitable.

This is just a quick update, I suppose. Lots to do, of course.

I apologize if you misread my last comment. Sometimes I forget that responding to someone's ideas requires more words one the internet. Honestly, sincerely, the quote I referenced really did hit home for me, and I was truly glad that you shared it. I had originally considered being more verbose but thought, why would she care about my ideas. Sometimes I hope that everything can be poetic in its own right, but I can see how one might have seen my comment as negative.

Hey, you're the one with the balls to share your thoughts with everyone. As I wish I could do the same, I tend to over analyze everything and become uncertain of anything I write.
Keep sharing. Not only am I sure that your words help other who read it. These words also help you.

Sorry to have caused any form of negativity in your life.
