<\/p>\n

I don’t know what happened yesterday, but I feel more like myself than I have in ages. Ever since I became a mom, I\u2019ve gone through some sort of psychological cocooning. I became a much, much more private person than I\u2019ve ever been, and as a consequence of this unexpected cocooning and the stresses of the economy, work, and my transition into another phase of life (motherhood), I got\u2026 quiet. It\u2019s not that I didn\u2019t feel like writing anymore; I just didn\u2019t seem to have the ability to find my voice outside of work. There\u2019s also been so much noise. I never seem to find the quiet that I need in order to gather my thoughts, and it is jarring to me to have no time at all for real introspection. Over the last three years, I keep trying to rearrange things in my life so there\u2019s time to live<\/em>. For me, I\u2019m not living unless I\u2019m writing. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve broken through a wall, but at the moment, it feels like I have. Huzzah?<\/p>\n

Soon, I\u2019m going to be mirroring my LJ posts<\/A> on my WordPress blog. At the moment, I\u2019m just trying to clean that junkyard up and turn it into somewhere that I can sensibly organize my thoughts. <\/p>\n

Today\u2019s question: what holds you<\/em> back?<\/p>\n
