"The time has come," the Walrus said, "to talk of other things: of shoes - and ships - and sealing wax - of cabbages - and kings - and why the sea is boiling hot - and whether pigs have wings"
Harriet the Spy learned the hard way that at some point you have to grow up. Peter Pan never quite figured it out. I have officially learned the lesson.
I've known for quite some time that it's time to end this piece of my life. My blog has served me well as an outlet but it's too full of angst and subliminal messages and the person that I used to be.
I have grown up. I have changed immensely since my first post more than 7 years ago. This blog serves as a reminder of who I used to be and is a good guide for who I want to become and who I don't want to be anymore.
I've had this sticky note sitting on my desktop for some time now. A quote of myself from this blog about 6 years ago:
"And so what...maybe the chance you take might end up exploding in your face. But it's a lesson that must be worth learning. Or a turn in the road that'll lead you somewhere better. Or maybe it'll just prove that you can do something even though no one believe in you."
This blog did all those things: it exploded in my face a few times, it taught me lessons worth learning, it lead me places better than I ever imagined, and from time-to-time I proved myself. It's been a good 7 years.
I missed by bi-annual Thanksgiving post so I'll say it here:
I'm thankful for you. For you. For You.
Thank you.
I'm waiting on the edge of my seat for whatever God has planned for me next, but you won't hear about it here. Just remember: in all times and in all ways God is Good.
Song of the Moment: It's Coming Around Again by Carly Simon (It's my favourite song of all time. In all endings come new beginnings. They're coming around again.)
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
1 Timothy 4:12
