A Letter to My Blog

Dear Blog,

Ah, how I miss you so. You sit there, looking so shiny and pretty and tempting. Thoughts float around in my mind, sometimes taking root and taking shape, sometimes only for a fleeting moment. Each time, the desire to come here and post them arises. And each time, something more pressing takes my time away, and by the time I find a few minutes to visit you in peace, the moment has often passed. I don't want to come to you without my heart fully in it, you know? I know I vowed to try to spend more time with you, but isn't quality more important than quantity? Rest assured that I miss you just as much as you miss me.

I want to write about the books I've been reading lately. I want to write about how much fun it is to file taxes... and yet how depressing it can be once I've tallied up the final total. I want to write about how much more my loathing of humanity has been reinforced, and how my love for animals deepens. I want to write about aggravating things at work and school. I want to write about silly things, funny things, sad things, thoughtful things.

And yet Father Time hasn't been kind enough to allow me the chance. Especially when microblogging sites makes it easy to share bite-sized updates without too much thought. Still, I wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten you. Much as I love Tumblr and Twitter, you and your kind have always been my first love. You're always in the back of my mind somewhere. And when I hear about something funny or read something that gets my dander up or experience something interesting, you're always the first thing I think of.

If it makes you feel better, Todd's diary hasn't been getting much love lately, either, and I don't even NEED to be in the right mood to write there! :-)

I know you'll always be there. And you know that I'm here. Here's to seeing you around, blog :-)

Love,
Me
