Start writing again on these things and get stupid spam comments.
I was all excited when I noticed that I had three comments and thought, "wow! People did read my blog and are actually excited that I'm back!" Bah-humbug! Not the case at all, just stupid spammer comments about investment banking or something. No matter, I have deleted them completely.
So I'd said I was going to update more frequently, and believe you me, I have a lot to say or rant about. This also brings me to a crossroads as I've always noticed, but have been noticing more and more, that I share too much about myself. My feelings, details of my life, family stuff, friend stuff, interests, etc. I guess thats a part of human nature, wanting to share yourself with others to get more of yourself out there. I think my problem is that I do it times a thousand with anyone from my boyfriend to my local grocery cashier.
Thats bad. I don't wanna do that, nor do I like to do that. Its like an addictive drug, to want to examine yourself and see what makes you tick, and the only way you'll discover that is to get feedback from others. Well, whats it to someone what I say? NOTHING. And so with that, I digress. I think at a certain point, for example at work, it crosses a line of professionalism that I don't want to do. And maybe I partially do it to not have uncomfortable silences, but thats really none of my business is it? So, mums the word from now on...or so I'll try. Its okay to share some stuff, but I refuse to share too much.
And that is my new year's resolution.

I for one am very glad you're back. What you just said reminded me of something I just read.
"Whatever you do, protect my children from the coarse and vulgar speculations of others. The world may know my words, but it has no such privileges with my heart."
From Jane Austen Ruined My Life
Whenever you figure out what is too much to tell people let me know. I've never figured it out. On the one hand, being completely transparent about everything can allow you to truly connect with others, but it only works when others do the same.
On the other, it leaves you pretty vulnerable and if someone attacks you, it hurts.
Hi J.R.!
I'm ridiculously excited to see that you are still following my blog, even after such a long absence on my part.
There's a whole bunch to catch up on, so I hope I can be as entertaining and hopefully somewhat insightful!
I hope everything is going well for you!
