I have been quiet, even silent, on this page for a while. There have been reasons, and they are almost all social. First it was an old love interest who scorned my thoughts that discouraged me from writing. I wished to hide my words. Then it was an ex-girlfriend stalking my blog, trying to redeem a feeling of dominance and success well after the love failed and I wanted nothing to do with her. I thought of changing my blog title so as to ultimately hide my soul from the perceived, intuited, and imagined influences such people had on me, I thought of never writing again, I thought of waiting until I had so much confidence that I could overcome any fear. These yielded to the convulsions of performance-based fear. I writhed about in a stammering confusion, for the sanctitude in my mind to return. I don’t have some resolute epiphany to save the day. I do have some complaints.
