A friend of mine told me that my recent posts are chirpy. Since the start of January, and the piercing migration episode that I had, I have sort of picked up blogging again. I am not sure why this has happened, and I do not remember thinking at one point “alright now, back to blogging regularly. Break is over.”

And the truth of the matter is; I didn’t return after a conscious decision to do so. I just had things that I felt like blogging about, and when I blogged about them, you came. It was purely coincidental. For all I know, this might not last. I might not have “returned” at all.

When I said I am taking a break, I had decided it will be for at least one year. I had (have) things going on in my life that I imagined would drain my attention and I would not be able to communicate with anyone outside my GTalk list. I was feeling exceptionally down, defiant, liberated, and hostage. They were very dark times.

I still feel this way but I think that the more you push yourself to do, the more you achieve regardless of what your circumstances may be. I don’t mean to say that this blog here is in any way an addition to world heritage, or that it makes a difference in anyone’s life, but it sure has made a difference in mine.

Perhaps I semi-returned because I realized I had lost my fight. Perhaps because I realized I have nothing to lose, maybe things cannot get any worse and so, what’s the point of not blogging about them? It’s a fight either way, maybe documenting it will help. Brooding certainly won’t.

So, people who read this blog, that was my reflective thought for the day. Enjoy the chirpy phase while it lasts :)
