My blog anniversary came and went last month… and I totally forgot. WP doesn’t tell me because I opened my account way before I started blogging… so when I truly started blogging isn’t the date WP thinks is my anniversary.
Anyway…
September 14th was the date. It’s been three years. I don’t really have anything exciting to say. I feel kind of blah about it because I feel like my blog is blah now. I loved it for a long time… but it’s kind of on life support at the moment. My creativity has left me… my mind is full of only dark things. It’s just… blah.
On the bright side, this is my third post in three days. Maybe I’m not totally dead inside.
To recap the last three years (in no detail whatsoever):
I have posted five multi-part fiction stories. [I think it’s five… but I could be wrong.] Plus a whole slew of smaller fiction pieces.
I have posted over 350 poems. [Yes, I counted… but I got lost around 357.]
I have posted too many times about my personal struggles.
I have [hopefully] made people laugh.
I have even posted a few recipes.
I opened a shop full of cool stuff.
I participated in the A-to-Z Challenge three times. [Technically four since one year, I posted twice a day with two different themes.]
And I’ve met many wonderful people.
Thanks for being here. Especially if you’re still here… reading this right now.
Time for some cake. I should celebrate, right? I mean, I have to. It’s only right.

I passed 4 years at the beginning of September. It’s an odd feeling, for sure.

That all sounds good… but I might like some cheesecake… or cake cake. I’ll just get it all. 😃

Sure, I love cheesecake, too! Be careful, though. After all of that, you might slip into a carb coma and not be ready for the multiple games of twister that we have planned. 😉

Yeah… that could be a problem. I’ll have to pace myself…

Awesome party plans! Don’t forget the bbq little smokies and rotel dip. Those will help hold off the sugar coma and help us endure more games. Woohoo!

For the first five years I only posted SPN recaps. I only started personally blogging/reading other blogs two years ago. I have several abandoned blogs littered around lol.

That’s good! I was never really a blogger until I stepped out of my head and started interacting with people IRL again. Lord knows I needed some kind of outlet, lol

I don’t interact with people IRL enough. I think that’s part of why I’m unable to write. I’m too isolated…
LikeLiked by 1 person
It’s the opposite for me. I wrote more during my years of isolation than I have since I broke out of my shell. I find that the more I interact with people, the more I have on my mind that drowns out my ideas…
I think writing is mood based more than anything. These days, I need a clear head to right anything decent and on most days, my head is a mess.

I’m not completely sure what makes it harder or easier for me to write. I feel like my life is empty at the moment. I have no purpose. I basically feel like a waste of a human being. That’s making it difficult to find anything worth saying because I don’t feel like anything that comes out of me matters.

I can relate. Feeling like that makes it hard to do anything, let alone write! I guarantee you that what you’re able to come up with isn’t as bad as you think it is. I just read over a story I wrote during that terrible period of time where I was getting over Dumb-Dumb and while I thought it was awful then, it’s not that bad. When you feel empty or down, you judge yourself too harshly. You should cut yourself some slack. ❤

Lately, I feel that way all the time… empty and down. Oh, I’m just a mess. I used to think it was a phase, but I’m not so sure anymore. It feels like it’s permanent now.
