And a few days from now, I will be leaving on a jet plane, just like the song says.
Like the song also says, I don't know when I'll be back again. Moving across country is hard work, and very stressful. It's also stressful to try to find a job across country; phone interviews are hard, y'all! All this stress is why I haven't been blogging much lately.
But, it's not the only reason I haven't been blogging much lately. I'm afraid my heart just isn't in it. It's no longer as fun for me as it used to me. I still like getting dressed, I just no longer enjoy writing about it. And taking pictures in the freezing cold is kind of killing the mood as well. I know that won't be an issue when I'm back home, but I just don't see continuing on. Not at this point. (Of course, like every other narcissist who craves approval, I reserve the right to come back to my adoring fans at some point in the future).
Now, I'm not a crackpot, but there is another reason I'm giving up blogging. I don't really love the Internet lately. Targeted ads creep me out, fake news makes me want to throw things, and, frankly, the guys on Twitter and IG who want to know what size shoe I wear concern me. Also, I just read The Circle, by Dave Eggers and, well, I'm opting out now. (Seriously, that book is terrifyingly great, you should read it!)
So, there you have it, I'm out, at least for a bit, mostly likely permanently. Thank you all so much for reading over the years; it means the world to me that you all listened to whatever nonsense I had to say.
xoxo,
Gracey
