Ever since I had to delete my account due to some work stuff I've lost the mojo for blogging on VOX. I lost almost all my neighbors when I deleted my account, and now I don't know if the community is as active as it was before. So, I've moved on over to Blogger....it's lonely, but hopefully that will change. If anyone is interested....

After months away from Vox, after years on it, it feels bizarre and unwelcoming to be writing my "first" post again. I thought it would be easy. But it's more like leaving your highschool for a year and then coming back, expecting everyone to have missed you and welcome you, and then finding that everyone has moved on and forgotten. However, the clean slate is kind of refreshing.
I come back with a new sense of where my priorities are and and even greatrer sense of how important every ripple I make is in the greater pool of my life.
Here I am though. 6 months pregnant. Married. And amazingly, happy. I didn't think I would get here. Abandoned by the majority of my friends, miles away from my family, I thought I would be lonely and depressed forever. But somewhere along the line, being alone stopped being lonely and became....empowering. I know myself better and accept myself without considering what others think of me. And I've made my own way. Both bad and good things have come from the decisions I have made, but ultimately, I consider myself lucky.
I miss friends. I miss my carefree, wild life that seems lifetimes away but was only a couple of years ago. And yet somehow, this new, family-centered life is more exhilarating and fullfilling than anything I've done before. And it's barely begun.
