i have long wanted to get back into blogging. the last time i had a blog, i was living in montreal. my final entry was only days after an assault that changed the course of my life (more on that to come, later. maybe.)
the truth is, i wanted a place where i could put the words i have out there. instead of hastily searching for conversations, scraps of messages, scrolling through social media feeds to find some comment i wrote...
i wanted to start a dialogue again. but i couldn't keep up through the go-to social media realms. so i am re-starting, which is an oxymoron to me. is there a re-start? once you've started (this thing called life), can you really "re-start"? so maybe it's just, re-introducing. or re-evolving.
i hope to explore lots of different themes: phobic-based panic disorders, compassion, humanitarianism, trigger-warned content, politics, addiction, love.
my last blog had cute alliterations, polka dots, and an affinity for DSLR selfies.
another definition of "starting" is of course not beginning, but startling. causing surprise. flinching. wincing.
i think i'll start there. with starting.
this day six years ago, i re-started.
today, i'm doing the same, in a very different way.
i'm off to the other side of the world for a while.
let's start.
katie.
