Back in Action!

I am alive and well. I know it's been quite a while since my last post, and I just want you all to know that I am still here. While working full-time, paying bills, and doing all this "grown-up" stuff, sometimes I neglect some of the things that I used to enjoy doing, like blogging. Life gets a little hectic sometimes.

I haven't forgotten about any of you, though. I always come back, randomly, write an "I'm Back" post, and then, I disappear again. I'm really gonna try to stick around this time! I promise!

Updates? Let's see.

I'm still living in Washington, DC with no plans on moving back to Chicago, anymore. Chicago will always be my favorite city, but I'm ready to experience a new place. I've been contemplating moving to LA, somewhere overseas, or Toronto, and after careful deliberation, I chose LA. I'm planning on moving there within the next year. I know it'll be a great experience. Now all I have to do is save up and find a job there and I'll be on my way! :)

2012 has been a great year, thus far. I really feel like I've matured and grown so much since 2011. I'm sure I've grown every year, and I don't know what's so different this year, but I can really feel it this time.

Things that I used to get upset about, don't bother me anymore.
Little issues that I thought were such a big deal last year... don't even cross my mind anymore.
Goals that I set for myself last year, I've accomplished this year.

I'm happy.

I'm thinking of starting a new blog. I'll never delete this one, but I just want to start over. A fresh start. Maybe.

I hope all is well with everyone.
