with another year out of the way, i'm making some changes. i've tried to walk the line here between sharing and privacy. there are things i've shared with people that i should have kept close to my heart. there are things that i should have shared, and didn't, out of fear of being judged. i have put trust where it didn't belong, in people that didn't deserve it, and that's a painful and difficult lesson to learn. i'll probably have to learn it again. i'm doing my best to live with an open, honest heart, and wondering about people's motivations for reading is starting to take a toll. this one-way street doesn't feel as friendly anymore, and i've been thinking about going quiet or private, for a while, anyway.

i haven't made any final decisions about it but i know i would miss doing this. i would miss telling you things like if you stood on the rock in that photo, you'd be the size of one or two of those individual lavender buds, maybe smaller. but, i think the time has come to turn inwards, to protect myself, and to be satisfied within.
