2018: the year blogging Kaleena will be back! I hope...

One of my internet friends that I actually made through this blog, Callie, actually inspired me to get back on my regular blogging. 

I decided it will never turn back into a consistent daily blog if I keep just saying that it will depending on my mood. I figured it I want to start it more consistent again, I will plan in advance so I can be more prepared and prep for it. So I will shoot for that at the start of January 2018. 

I have changed so much since I first began this blog. It seems like many lifetimes ago. But that's what life is all about. This chapter of Kaleena is a lot different than before but to me, that's a very good thing. 

The old Kaleena writing this blog was a lot more weak and impressionable. She found her identity in the shadows for how people made her feel. I hate that about my old self. Giving up everything to make other people happy - that can be a good trait, but I was doing it to be liked, not to be selfless. The thing I've learned and found joy in as I've gotten older is that no matter how many times you hit "rock bottom" with yourself -  failure, depression, disappointment, bad choices, wrong turns, all that is doing is softly giving you or guiding you to something better for you. It always seems like that's the end when really it's just the seed that is planting your new tree or garden. I find extreme comfort in that. 

Stay tuned.

surprise

Why, hello!

What a time to get the urge to stumble back to my old blog. 10:30pm on a Sunday night.

I didn't come here to say much or anything really... but here I am.

Browsing my old posts and past self put me in a really introspective mood. I'm so glad I decided to start this blog back in 2010 and kept regularly posting. Man I loved blogging back then.

I want to start back the way I was then -- but part of me feels like it is fitting to continue on this blog to keep my life all in one place but part of me thinks I should start a whole new because let's be real, I have been pretty spotty (AKA CRAPPY) at posting since 2013 and I think it would just create a bulk of posts playing "catch up"

Hmm. I don't know. Just thinking/typing out loud at this point.
