simple

Yikes, I know.

I haven't posted anything here in two months. But let's be honest, my mind wasn't into this blog anymore since the last few months of 2016.

What happened then:

• I didn't renew my then domain, grewlegs.com
• I quit being grewlegs.. because I can lol
• I started over with a new pseudo, harayaphoto on Instagram and nowharaya on Twitter

No reason in particular. I guess that's how I detoxify in the virtual world, get rid of everything completely. One thing that only makes me a bit sad is that, although I've been vocal on my former blogname that I'm growing tired of it, I didn't give any proper goodbye to the few people who knew that domain. I simply disappeared.

I remember one person sending me an email, wondering where the blog has gone.. It was only one person, but I didn't think someone would go out of their way to hunt me.

So, if you've been following me before, and still following me now, I sincerely thank you for sticking around..

Well, we're here now in 2017, and let me tell you, this year is tough.

I've allowed some changes to take place, and as a Taurus, boy, you don't know how we hate change. 3 years after my first attempt, I've decided to go to graduate school again.

And then probably only 2 weeks later, I was surprisingly offered with a new position in my company. I was given only a few days to decide if I'm going to take it or not. Going back to school is already a big task in itself, what more juggling it with a new job?

In the end, I did take the new job with eyes closed.

Gradually, studying and working on a new path took away the time I used to allot for the things I enjoy: reading, writing, taking photos. And even telling my usual, nonsensical things here or in Twitter, I had no time for.

But lately, I've been feeling it.

The need to do the simple things again. But if they were the simple ones, why did I have to let go of them first?

..things I ask myself.
