A reintroduction

It's safe to say that I have failed miserably at starting up and maintaining a blog. I really enjoy writing, but soon after I began this blog, I started my PhD and that took up a big portion of my time, and required me to write quite a lot. It was a relief to come home and stay away from the keyboard, and so I ended up neglecting this blog.


I keep a diary of sorts, privately of course. I seldom write (ahem, type) in there these days but over the last seven years or so, I would usually write a thousands words or so every two or three weeks about things that had been happening, how I was feeling and what have you. It certainly serves its purpose as a second memory bank, as I quite often reread through old entries thinking to myself "oh yeah, I completely forgot about that!" whilst probably cringing, especially at the pre-university stuff anyway.

One of the main problems going through my mind when I think about coming back to the blog is "what the hell do I write about?" I mean sure I have a few interests here and there, but nothing enough that this blog could ever be focused on a particular area of interest. In a way, it would probably end up being like a second diary, and then I think to myself "what's the point?" However, in recent months my best friend Sarah has been blogging about various things such as kawaii items, mental health and photography, and it always makes me want to start blogging myself. So here we go again!
