Today I realized something that isn't exactly easy to admit.
It's something that I've known deep down all along, but wanted to stay in denial about.
Today I realized that I'm kind of a quitter.
But I'm not your average quitter!
I don't quit intentionally. No, no, I plan on finishing everything I start...eventually.
The problem is that eventually usually doesn't come.
For example, you may be wondering why I have been MIA for the past months.
Well I will tell you.
It wasn't because I was sooo busy that I simply had no time to spare, and all of my super important plans left me with no time for blogging; it wasn't because I was on a blogging strike and wanted to give it up; and it wasn't because I had nothing to say.
I had lots of things I could've said.

The real reason is because I'm a quitter.
You see, I have been planning to start blogging consistently again for quite awhile now, but first I wanted to fix the layout of my blog because it just wasn't working.
So then I started looking for cute templates. Then I realized that I hated my blog name and wanted to start fresh.
So then I started thinking of cool/fun/catchy/clever/witty blog names, and realized that this would basically be my face. My image. Some of you don't know me, so if this is all you have to judge me on, then it had to be AMAZING, dang it!
I became overwhelmed with all that I needed to do in order to have a blog that I was truly proud of, so I decided that the best option was to just pop open a Dr. Pepper & put it off for another day.
Aka, I quit.
This is just one example of the ways I have been a quitter in my life, whether intentional or unintentional.
However, while today I realized that I am a quitter, I also realized that I don't want to quit anymore.

Which is why I am back to blogging.
I still don't have a cute blog, or a cute name, or anything of the sort, but I'm going to take it one step at a time.
And that's also how I am going to start taking the rest of my life.
If I'm going to try swimming across the Atlantic ocean, first I need to learn how to swim. (& let's face it, my swimming skills really need some work.)
So there you have it.

Get used to having me around again!
