Reflections

As some of you know, I had actually started this blog back in November. I was loving the blog life, when something happened. A 'security breach' occurred in January. I was sent into a panic.

Somehow certain close family and friends got a hold of the blog url and I was sent in a tizzy because this is meant to be a journal - a private journal. Or, at least as private as it can get, you know? Some of my earlier posts about my family didn't paint the nicest picture, so I quickly took down those old posts and renamed my url in an attempt to thrwart the invasion of my privacy. Hence the name "undergroundmuse" in my url. I had to 'go into hiding', so to speak. I thought that name was amusingly appropriate. Yeah, now you know the story behind the name.

I went through those old archives the other day and decided that I will slowly and discriminately repost some of those old posts. They won't all happen all at once, but you can check in from time to time in the archives to see what old goodies I've decided to repost.

It was interesting because a lot of the insights I first wrote about had been forgotten, so it was eye-opening to know see how I've changed, how I've grown, how I've regressed, and who has come and gone in my life. It's good to do a periodic review sometimes, I guess. I think that's where the faith in upkeeping this blog comes into play. I write because I enjoy it, because it's cathartic, and because it helps to process lessons and record experiences. But the truer meaning in all of this is that I hope to read back on it all with gratitude and clarity, knowing that the journey was well worth it to get me to this perfect moment in the present.
