Sooo I realize that a post is long overdue. Granted i only know of like two people who actually follow my blog. And one is my father. So Sorry pops. But anyway Lets get back on topic. I would first like to explain the reasons for my absence.
A. My life has become very hectic as off late. Between Sylvia, Air force, and the barn i either don't have time to write poetry or when i do have time just flat out don't feel like it. Now you may think i should just write whether i am in the mood or not. But It doesn't work that way for me If i don't feel it then it shows in my writing. Nothing flows, Everything seems forced and i tend to resent the piece i produce. So i just don't and in the meantime my blog gathers cyber-dust
B. Inspiration. Its not that i lack it at all. Its that when i am struck by it I am in the barn working and don't have time to grab a pad and pen. Or I do get inspired and its about Sylvia which requires the poem to be posted on the blog i created just for things i write for her. Sadly I have thought it best to keep between me and her so You guys reading Whatmymindtellsme go even longer without a post.
C. I actually think i am changing as a person. In the past few months My world has been turned upside down and thrown all around. Some good some bad. but either way through all the turmoil i have changed. and i would like to be able to say that i have changed for the better. But in changing i have started to lose passion for things i once held dear to myself. One of those things is the written word. Not only have i almost stopped writing entirely i have also dropped reading. Its not that i no longer enjoy either of those things but its just that they no longer rank as high on my list of "lifes little pleasures"
Now that you know why i haven't posted in so long what are we to do?
A. I just quit. Drop the blog and say oh well. I mean i leave in two and a half months anyway so what does it matter if i quit now. I highly doubt that i would be able to post poems regularly in the air force anyway.
B. Change the blog itself. Now this wouldn't be to much a change from its original intent. the blog is merely suppose to be an outlet for me. Which in being said outlet it became a place to share my poetry. But i think if i change the blog it would become a place where i post whats going on in my life. This seems like a good option as it would be helpful in keeping my friends and family updated with my life when i depart for the military.
C. I post my old poems. I have a boatload of them in a envelope thing on my desk. It would be easy to do just most of them don't hold much meaning to me anymore so it would become more of a chore for me than a outlet to express myself
So really here's where i ask for your help. ALL TWO OF MY READERS!!!! I need you to comment, text me what you think i should do, or walk down the hall and hold a conversation with me about it. THANKS GUYS.
