Day Fifty-Four: Or Whatever Day This Is

I just have to say that I'm sorry it's been so long. I did have plenty to say over the month and a half since I last posted. Some of the times I was too lazy or tired. The idea of getting my computer out after I finished homework, after rehearsal ending at 10 exhausted me. I just needed sleep and I felt overwhelmed. The stress of the semester got to me and I realized that maybe I made too big of a commitment. For my first time blogging, I shouldn't have dove in head first. I should have been more reasonable with myself. I thought that if I wrote every day it would make me a better writer, it would focus me and give me no excuse to not write. But having to write everyday became my excuse. After some time I didn't feel like it was a choice. I felt that there were posts I wrote because I felt I had to write, not that I wanted to write. It lost it's fun and exciting appeal. Blogging became more homework, and it was too heavy of a workload to deal with. I admit I should have still been writing, at least once a week, but I didn't and I regret that. There was so much that happened, and many things I wish I had written about, but being away from my blog and the screen cleared my head. I think I'll be back to blogging for now, but not every day. I don't want to keep that overbearing pressure on myself. I will write what I want, when I want to, the way I should have kept this blog in the first place.
