Here's to everything.

It has been a while.
One day, I'll be really good at blogging.  One day, the entries will be numerous, consistent, truthful, inspiring.  One day, I'll figure out the right balance between telling too much and telling enough.  One day, I'll know how to write to keep them coming back for more.
But that day, unfortunately, is not today.
I've actually been avoiding a new entry.  I've tried to write, believe me, but it just didn't feel like it was coming out right.  So after a bazillion tries, I decided to just wait until it came out properly.
It's just frustrating, you know?  I liked doing this, once upon a time.  I was good at it once, or at least bearable.  But then, I don't know, the break-in happened, culture shock happened, confusion about life in general happened.  And I wasn't sure how to convey all of that in a proper, easy-and-fun-to-read way.  So I just didn't.
But here's to second/third/twelfth chances.  Here's to renewing commitment.  Here's to no judgment.  Here's to truth, here's to writing, here's to having a place to go.  Here's to love, here's to peace (inner and outer), here's to cold showers on hot days.  Here's to traveling, here's to pictures, here's to Converse and new pens.  Here's to starting over.
Here's to you.
Talk to you soon.

But godliness with contentment is a great gain.  For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out.  But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these.
