Catch Up

 I was able to get a good chunk of my current research paper done during a period of ambitious go-getter-ness, and it occurred to be blogging has really slipped away from me lately, so here I go.

As I write this, I am still trying to figure out what to write about. It's not that I have nothing to write about, however. I actually have a lot, but each topic doesn't feel complete enough in my brain quite yet. Something I do feel like I should talk about is that, while I did say blogging has been slipping away from me, over the last few weeks I have seen it slipping and have not been able to catch it. 

I fear that I have fallen into the same slump that has ended my blogging routine almost flawlessly in previous years. Simply put, I struggle to push something back into motion. The longer it stays out of motion, the harder it gets to move again. I am sure many of us have experienced it in some form or another. Once I miss a week, the following weeks become continuously easier to miss. Tis a wicked poison indeed.

So why, for the first time ever, was I able to find the motivation to write a blog all on my own after said slump? I am going to assume (for the sake of fluffing up my ego just a smidge) that it is because I am in a very stable state overall, emotionally and mentally. I feel a little bit more responsible for my actions and what I do and do not do. I actually felt increasingly more guilty for every day that went by where I thought "a blog can wait until tomorrow", which is something that I begrudgingly admit did not occur to me in the past. 

All in all, I think it is pretty cool I was able to blog again all on my own, after a pretty short period of time (comparatively, at least). Also, I apologize for any poor sentence structure, the extent of my motivation does not account for proof reading.
