Perhaps the reason so many people end up either shuttering their blogs or becoming part of group efforts is the simple fact that there are times when daily blogging is just too hard. Lately, I’ve had to really force myself to blog, and both the quality and quantity of posts here has been declining, as I’m sure my few remaining readers have noticed.
It’s not that there’s nothing going on, either in the world or in my own personal life. The problem is, most of what’s going on in my own life I’m finding it hard to write about — for example, Scott’s health issues are his, not mine, and it’s not really my place to talk about them here. Another big issue is that I don’t know what’s going to happen with my internship after I graduate. I’m so stressed out that it’s a conversation that I just don’t want to have with my boss, yet it’s one that I really need to have: knowing whether I still have a job, and if it is a part-time or full-time gig, and at what rate of pay, is not unimportant information! I have 2 challenging finals standing between me and graduation, and my parents are coming to visit on Thursday which means I need to clean the hell out of my house. And I have no clue what I am going to wear for Graduation under the cap and gown. (Please no dirty jokes)
Dealing with all of that has pushed my ability or desire to pay attention to the rest of the stuff that is going on in the world to the back burner. All in all, I’m feeling overwhelmed, and the more overwhelmed I feel, the less I feel like blogging. It would be nice to have a few co-bloggers to fall back on in times like this. But for better or for worse, Fiat Lux is a solo effort, so as I go, so goes the blog.
This isn’t a “Goodbye Cruel World” post. I’m not shutting down for good. But I suspect that light blogging will be the rule of the day for the next few weeks.
