It has indeed been a very long time since I last updated this blog... Almost forgot about it, to be honest. But there are just some things that you go back to, especially in times of solitude, that are not dependent on willful decisions prior to revisiting, and doing again.
Writing.
Yeah, I know. Many people have already romanticized its cathartic effect on those who write, so much so that it has already become a cliche. But the mere fact that it has become cliche makes it all the more true - Words put out there, in the silence of cyberspace, with no promise of readership, still hold a value so dear to the author that each letter becomes a fragment of memory. Like sequential puzzle pieces that bring you back not only to that moment in front of your laptop, clicking on the buttons to compose something which you hope might make sense, but to the actual emotion conveyed by those words, back to the hard cement floor of the high school gymnasium, back to that nerdy, pockmarked face of that manager you hate, and back to that overwhelming feeling of revenge (which you're happy did not materialize into another SM mall shooting), that now induces overwhelming fits of laughter.
And going back feels like home, cuddling up to your favorite pillow, smiling.
With this, I write anew :)
