(no subject)
I've been off the airwaves for most of this year. Some people have asked me recently where i disappeared to, why i've all but stopped writing. I can only answer that i've thought about journaling just as much as always - almost daily this year, however I just can't seem to muster the words.
2007 has been a nonstop mash of experiences and emotions, all convoluted and entangled. I haven't been able to be simply, completely happy, or frustrated, or thankful or whatever for the most part of it. That's not to say i haven't been happy. Recent months have been some of the most exhilarating, ga ga joyful times of my life. Its just that, running concurrently with the excitement of preparing for marriage, starting a new job etc have been some bumpy friendships and tricky ethical dilemmas. I haven't had the dexterity to describe - let alone cope with - such complexity.
I went to the dentist yesterday, and he made an observation that's telling. I've started grinding my teeth these past few months.
Anyway, that's why i've been absent, friends. One month into marriage I'm observing that life has slowed back down, and things are becoming clear again. So let me end by writing about the one pure, crystal clear constant of my year. Outside and above all the confusion and stress has glistened a shiny shiny love. My darling Sophie. My kind friend, fellow-adventurer, trusted secret keeper, relieving embracer, demented cackle-bringer, snuggly snuggler (most recently, sly-eyed sex vixen), prayerful vigil-keeper, and altogether most charming of lovers.
I'm back. See you soon!
