Have you felt it? There's been... a whole lot of nothing going on with this blog. Why haven’t I been blogging in the last year? It’s been arguably one of the best years of my life, with plenty of stories to tell and lessons to pass on. So much to tell, in fact, that it gives me anxiety to think about how behind I am on all the plans I had for this blog. The truth is, without it, I wouldn’t be in my position in life. I wouldn’t be working for my favorite artist and self-employed and feeling like a fantastically accomplished 24 (nearly 25) year-old. So why have I neglected it for so long? Why do I have countless lists of ideas and drafts and concepts with nothing to show for it? Where did my drive to write and share go damnit?
I refuse to let this blog sink into the depths of the internet never to be seen again.
Even if I have to just start wherever I start, and let go of all the unpublished ghosts that haunt me. Whatever I have to do to move on, I’m doing it. Right now, actually. Just sitting down with my laptop and writing whatever dialogue comes to my mind. It’s the healthiest thing I used to do. Self expression, especially for a girl with so many people in her life and few that I actually confide in, is vital. I can’t keep all of my emotions inside me. I don’t feel like expressing them verbally much of the time, and I’ve always been able to better put things into words once I have ample time to process, record and edit.
So, I’m recognizing that I want to change. I want to reform this habit, this urge to publish weekly sometimes even daily. I want to build my own content again, and talk about the things that are important to me now. Maybe reviewing restaurants isn’t the best use of my time, maybe you’d rather hear about the places I go or the people I meet or learn something new from me (webinars are a serious possibility in the future!). I’m going to do my best to talk about things that will hold some actual weight. And I do love food, so I’m sure I won’t be able to help talking about the great places to eat and drink around Atlanta.
I’ve been doing a lot of photography too, so photo blogging could be a new type of series for me. I still have a lot of opinions about music and lyrics and the special meanings it brings to my life, so Musical Commotion will surely see a comeback. I'm still exploring so many new places and I want to share all of it and inspire you to get out there yourself!

Mostly I just want to get back to what makes me happiest (like taking pictures of clouds). This outlet is a great place for me. I’ve put work into it’s style, it’s personality. It’s time to give it the attention it deserves. It’s good to recognize when you’re neglecting a major part of your life. I look forward to filling the void I feel with my own words and my own guidance, and hopefully it will connect with you as well. Eclectic Avenue: Season 2... coming your way this summer.
