Reflections, and a missed anniversary

Ha! I didn’t even notice the date, or how the time has simply flown by. The 7th of October marked my third year of blogging; where exactly the time has gone, I cannot say.

This started off as a little bit of fun and here I am, still posting crap!

Well, it certainly has been fun, and that is all that matters. I’ve gone from… I can’t even remember what I used before Hugo, something or other. Anyway, I’ve gone from Hugo to PaPy and I certainly have learned a whole lot along the way.

I’ve also “met” quite a few interesting and very intelligent people. They are all doing their own thing in their own way and that also feeds into all the fun I’ve been having blogging over the past few years. I’ve learnt plenty from them.

I’ve always been told that I bottle things up inside, that I don’t say much (even though I talk a lot). Dammit, I’ve always replied, show me a man who doesn’t and who does, respectively. Most of us from my generation were just built that way. Small talk, yes, plenty of that; deep emotional conversations where inner feelings are freely shared? Not so much. It does take its toll, I can say that much.

So maybe three years ago was the time to start blogging. Even if no one reads these words and rambling thoughts, who cares? It has helped me to exhale.

It does feel freeing to release those inner words, no matter how petty, how insignificant. It clears and refreshes the mind, I find.

So, here’s to the next three years.
