1. I haven’t wanted to blog this week at all. I’ve been trying to do the Relish12 prompts, but I keep stumbling upon topics that I just don’t feel right about posting publicly… Not because they’re bad or super secret or whatever, but just because there are some things in life that you hold dear and want to keep super personal… and beyond that, I’ve just not had anything to say really. So, private writing it’s been and blogging’s been on the back burner. Sorry, guys.
2. I am in a mildly bad mood. I walked to the corner store and it was raining, and I have a bunch of chores that involve going outside of the apartment today. So NOT happy. I mostly just want to crawl back into bed and pull the covers up over my head. Sigh.
3. I’m in the throws of a vulnerability hangover. You know, one of those things that you get when you’re completely open and honest about something and then after you just floated it out there you start questioning why you did that, and you kinda wish you could take it all back because now you feel all embarrassed about it. One of those.
4. I deal with the news of tragedies by disassociating most of the time. I don’t know whether that’s a good or bad thing, but it’s a thing. I’ve pretty much been avoiding social media and blogging because I just do not want to hear people’s thoughts about the shooting, gun control, or anything related to that…
5. I’ve been reading what everyone else has been posting for confessions with the hopes that I could steal on of them, because I couldn’t think of my own 5th confession and for some reason I’m convinced that there needs to be five. I do this nearly every week. Of course, I didn’t find anything I felt compelled enough to borrow and weigh in on so I figured I’d just confess the fact that I did it.
I know what you mean about the news of tragedies. I almost avoid the news all together, cause I just can’t stand hearing about it!
I’m stopping over from Alyx’s!

1. I’ve been so ADD for my Relish posts this week. My posts turned into rambles, but eh, I do what I wawnt.
2. Grey days are my FAVE! I’d totally do your errands for you.
4. The only time I’ve looked at shooting stuff was when I was writing my “don’t believe everything you see on the media” post. The only reason I really posted it was because I didn’t really have anyone to talk to about it.. but when I did talk to my BF, he said exactly what I’d written in the blog.
Hope you feel better soon!

First I want to thank you for your comment on my blog tonight about GFC and all things following. I replied and just wanted to let you know that you made my night.
You know, never apologize for not blogging. I think you made the best decision. I only blog or write when I want to and am in the mood to because I think that’s when I write the best and the most passionately. Sometimes, we just need breaks and good for you for recognizing that and taking a break.
I understand #3 because I’m a very very vocal person and every now and then I say to myself, did I really want to share that with the world? Oh what will they think? Then I remind myself that they probably don’t give a care in the world about some tweet I made, post I made on Google+ etc.
I can’t help but being vocal on this tragedy because I’m an advocate for gun control and reducing such violence. With that said, most every post that has been about it I skip it and I have no urge to blog about it. I leave it for other avenues of communication.
Thanks for sharing Nikkiana and for making my night with your thought out comment which I wholeheartedly agree with.

I have definitely been a fail blogger lately, with finals and all the other projects I’m working on blogging just hasn’t been that important, oopsy!! And this rain is really disappointing me also! I want snow!! I want to go ice skating in central park & phillip refuses to go if it doesn’t snow. [And it looked like they had the pond in the bottom corner of the park not frozen?]

I’m definitely with you on the privacy thing. Sometimes there are things that are just…not for anyone else.
BAH. I’m sooo not in the mood to blog lately, and I feel bad, because that means I haven’t really been in the mood to answer emails or visit other people’s blogs. Oops.
And I sometimes wish I could steal people’s confessions. It’s hard to come up with your own!
Thanks for linking up, yo!

“I deal with the news of tragedies by disassociating most of the time.”
I do the SAME THING! All I said on what happened was a really simple tweet friday afternoon. Otherwise I completely ignored everyone else talking about it and went on with my life. Maybe it’s not the best way of dealing with it but it works for me.

The news is such a depressing thing to watch lately. I wish the world would stop being so evil. I love the way you write your confessions. I wish I was better at sharing mine on my blog!
I hope you’re having a great week my dear!

Good it’s not just me – I mean I feel bad for the families of said tragedies, but I don’t know what wallowing in the news of it really accomplishes. Yes there are issues that need solving, but I’m not sure how arguing about such things on social media really help that process.
