A Return, Not to the Past

It is said that spring is a time of renewal, of new beginnings…

So, here I am, my long-lost and newly found friends, finding myself on this page, again, after such a long time…

I left the blogosphere almost 14 years ago because… I don’t know exactly, I guess life simply interfered. So many things happened at once and somewhere along the way I got lost. I couldn’t find the strength or the motivation to keep writing.

And then, one day, I felt it - the call. Don’t ask me how or why …I opened my blog and started reading my old posts, and a wave of nostalgia hit me straight in the chest, in my soul. So many memories…

I recognized myself in some of the posts and not so much in others. I’ve changed, in a way and I’ve also stayed the same…Does it make sense?

I’ve been gathering those old blog posts in a book, as a way to relive those years and maybe understand myself better - maybe understand who I became because of who I was. It is almost finished. When it’s done, I’ll close those chapters and put them aside. For me to revisit, maybe. For you, if you wish, to see who I was.

And now I am here. Again.

Me -who got lost somewhere in this jungle we call life, and found my way back. To myself.

The person who I am today, built on the foundation of who I was then, some 17 years ago…
