I have discovered that writing a blog can be like having a relationship. Granted, I am highly inexperienced in the romantic sense of a relationship, but as with any friendship, it has different phases. There are times of high activity, pouring an intense amount of interest and presence in it. On the other hand, it can be followed by periods of negligence and distraction. Sometimes, priorities get shifted and you take breaks, only revisiting it occasionally.
This blog started a good 3 years ago, and that fact makes me start thinking. I first approached the writing with an energy fueled by excitement of the unknown. Ribz and I were about to embark on one of the greatest adventures of our lives, and that sense oozed throughout my posts.
Jumping ahead to 2017, with the whirlwind of the Special Convention in Milan, Italy. It's with more than a small hint of embarrassment that I haven't finished chronicling that trip here. I tend to procrastinate, and the Italy series is a classic example of that. Since I have told quite a few about our European adventures, I believed that I would begin to sound repetitive.
After coming back from Europe and entering into 2018, I had a bit of a conflicted feeling towards writing the blog. I erroneously assumed that because I wouldn't be travelling much this year, running the blog would be pointless. The writer's block showed up and the radio silence began. I got wrapped up in other pursuits and lost interest in catching up. There was significantly less joy in something that I had previously loved.

| I put this on my Instagram Highlights early this year, feeling like the Adventurous Adventures were halting. |
Recently, I've been giving a lot of thought towards improvement/positive changes I'd like to see. This blog was made to be enjoyed, by reader and writer alike. I want to revamp and get back into the swing of writing for the real pleasure of it. As new adventures in my theocratic career hover over the horizon, I await with (hopefully) more motivation and enthusiasm to pen them.
Here's hoping! :)
This was a bit different than my regular posts. Dare I say, it leaned towards being cathartic. I will attempt finishing off the fabulous Europe stories, hopefully before the 2 year anniversary of that trip.
That's all for tonight, sweet BlueBearies! Thanks for taking the time to read all of that and stay tuned for the next post.
Love,
The Adventurous A
