Life.

Life is a funny, funny thing.

I started the summer out thinking that I would have endless amounts of time on my hands, devoted to cultivating a blog where I could record some of my life's adventures thus far and making silly videos on YouTube that would showcase new adventures I would experience and to complement blog posts. You don't have to look at my blog for too long to realize that my plans did not turn out the way I thought they would. Sometimes life just happens, progressing faster than you expect leaving you wondering where in the world summer went. Between being fortunate enough to find summer work and my older sister planing a wedding for early August, life took on a life of its own. My plate got too full which meant I had to take a step back, reassess, and prioritize the goals I wanted to accomplish over the next months. While I wanted to put this blog and YouTube at the very top of this list, I knew deep down I couldn't. I had other important things that had to be put first, and as much as it broke my heart to neglect something I felt so passionate about, I decided the right thing to do was to focus on work and the wedding. After all, I knew the internet wasn't going to disappear over the summer.

Now with August nearly over, school has reared it's mostly ugly, but sometimes fun and beautiful, head, my job is over for the time being, my sister is married, and I'm ready to get this blog back in order, with occasional appearances on YouTube.

As I said in the very first (I think) post, I hope to make my little corner of the internet a wonderful, inviting, safe space, a neighborhood, if you will, where we can visit, share stories and ideas, and have a nice time.

Has life ever gotten in the way of something you were passionate about? Tell me about it in the comments :)

Have a safe weekend neighbors!!
