She talks. Or not.

The relative silence continues around these parts. Part of the reason for this is the fact that most of the blogs I read have also gone largely silent. The less time I spend reading other blogs, the less I am inclined to tend to my own. As for the rest of my reasons, I was going to claim that "there isn't really too much going on right now," but that'd be a big fat lie. I've got more going on in my life at the moment and more worth writing about than I have had at any point since I began posting here, so that's no excuse. I do have things to say, but I suppose I ought to admit that I am feeling reluctant to post for a number of reasons.

You see, a lot of things have changed. People I thought I'd lost contact with forever continue to pop up, brand new faces have made their way in, some doors have closed, others have opened and I've learned a lot. My perspective is evolving. Many of the things that have happened over the past six months or so and are continuing to happen are very good things, though, and there's a part of me that is afraid that by writing about them, I will jinx them. Another part of me is purely selfish, and wants to keep my happy secrets to myself. Yet another part is experiencing some shyness and modesty. For all of these reasons and more, I remain mostly quiet. There's a lot of waffling back and forth, too, on how much (if any) I want to share, and I'm trying not to make any hasty decisions. Perhaps some of the rest of you can relate to this? I'll probably do some writing about all these goings-on while they're still fresh in my mind and hang onto them in case I decide I'd like to share sometime in the future, but for now, I can offer very little.
