Hey, Guys!
Wow that was a long hiatus! There were a lot of things preventing me from blogging, but only a few of them really top the chart. I got a job as a server at a local comedy club (extremely time consuming), I lost my internet (still gone, I'm at the college's computer lab), and I let some negative words about the way I come across on my blog become an "inspirational-boner killer". Also, I've been writing an actual story, so it hasn't all been stressful.
There are a lot of things that I feel like saying. Firstly, though, let me say this: just because I had a summer a couple years ago in which I was trying to figure it all out and slept with a few people and got drunk a bit does NOT make me a bad person. I have no doubt that the poetic way I spoke of my adventures in the single life made a few people feel put off and gave them the impression that they could judge me harshly because I put myself on the internet for everyone to read. In this, I give my readers a warning (a few, actually): do not judge other people unless you want to be as closely scrutinized yourself. We all have skeletons in our closets and the thing that separates the judged from the judges is that the judged are comfortable enough with their skeletons to share.
The other warning I'd like to make is shockingly more of a synopsis of this blog: no one should be ashamed of who they are. Learning to grow within yourself is difficult. This blog is to help people gain higher self-esteems and make healthier life choices. Half of the things I post on here, I share so that others can learn from my mistakes. The most important thing to remember, though, is that while I admit I have made some mistakes, I am not in any way, shape, or form ashamed of myself OR my past. Anyone who feels the need to try and make me feel ashamed is not only wasting their time, but also demonstrating how unhealthy their own life decisions are.
With that being said, it's good to be back. This is going to be a good year, 2014, and I'm beyond excited to help everyone who wants it. I'm still not completely sure how often I will be writing, but I promise you it won't be another six months before you hear from me again!
Wishing You Happiness,
Alaska
