So I haven't found it in me to blog for some reason. I want to say it's because my life has been fairly frazzled. But that can't be an excuse can it? After all, if I had a burning desire to think, write, share I would have made the time. But I have felt the urge so what the hell happened. I don't know. But I'm back. Perhaps because I'm in a different country - in Pakistan. The change of rhythm helps to want to connect. But alas the timing is bad because I see the battery about to die on me. So I chime in with a non-post of sorts. I could of course plug the machine in. But I don't. I guess I'm lazy.
I promise to myself that I won't be lazy tomorrow. I think laziness might explain why I haven't blogged.
No wait a minute. It's not lazy. Or it isn't just that.
I love the rhythm of my life. I love that I no longer bring work home with me except on very rare occasions - that's the one thing I don't miss about academia. Not in the least. I think I've cherished having time at the end of the day to give to my loved ones and to myself.
That perhaps is more of the reason why I haven't blogged. And I think I needed this time to get out of the habit of thinking to write - as I've done for over a decade while making my way through my thesis and my dissertation.
This post reads qualitatively different to me. It reads like I'm feeling my writing and that is what helps me to think. I like that. I like this freedom. Stay tuned!
