The Comeback Trail


Wow it’s been a long time since I’ve updated this thing…last update was 2012 and it’s now 2015! Time is cruel.

I mainly stopped because my goal was to update this with trip updates to keep everyone back at home posted but I didn’t finish in time and everyone eventually heard all my travel stories so it seemed silly to write them on here. A few months went by back in 2012 and I kept going to update this but it seemed useless and I would only write a couple lines before quitting. I really wanted to finish the trip updates to have my year (or so) journey documented on here, if for no one else just for myself to go back and re-read something’s I may have forgot. Time just kept marching on and every time something exciting happened I’d come on here and go to post it but then feel weird about it because I still wanted to finish the post from the previous trip, I guess that was some sort of OCD kicking in. Anyway, the end result was this place never getting updated at all.

In addition to all that, whenever I did check this place my pictures were getting deleted or not showing up. That bummed me out because it took me forever with shitty internet to get those pics on here and having them all gone made me feel like all the work was fruitless, so I ended up not caring to post anything new or start a new blog somewhere else. After coming on here recently though most of my more “recent” photos reappeared, this gave me more of a push to update this thing…but with 3 years of stuff and a foggy memory it was still daunting to start.

I don’t know why but I checked my blog out today and am feeling rejuvenated to start writing again. Since I still want to finish my (not so) little trip updates I think that is where I will start before moving into more recent updates and adventures.

I know many of you (haha “many”) who read this (maybe my mom & dad) don’t care to hear stories over and over again I’m going to break my “catching up” posts into a few smaller posts so skip those if you are sick of me telling travel tales from years ago. My plan is:

End of the year long trip
Year between traveling and school
Philippines
This last year

Again, the main goal of this blog was for my own benefit so I could flick back and remember things I've done but in the process I know some of you have enjoyed reading, so if you want to continue reading on thanks for sticking with me!
