I’m working on a new blog, which is one of the reasons I haven’t posted in awhile. I have yet to buy the domain name, but I have it picked out, and I’ve been working on the layout. It’ll be a much more visual/inspiration blog than this one, similar to Friday Finds. The personal aspects of it will be greatly diminished from this one, although I’ll still post my own personal entries and photographs.

The fact is that I’ve become a much more private person in the past year. Which isn’t to say that I want to hide the more personal aspects of my life; I just no longer feel the need to share them. I will never deny that I have suffered from mental illness or that my life is imperfect. I’ve always filtered myself on this blog because there are things that I would’ve liked talking about but didn’t feel comfortable knowing it was out in public, where anyone could google my name and find it. I’d used livejournal for years upon years as a forum for my personal writing, and I lost interest in it last year. I’ve begun writing in my LJ again, and it’s not nearly as cathartic as it used to be for me, but it’s a good place to house my more private writing.

I’ve been taking a lot of pictures lately, and I thought I’d share some of them. You can find more on my Flickr.
