I've been away too long ... full circle

I've been away for way, way too many days. Of course, there are many reasons. The insanity of wedding preparations, being on holiday after the wedding, family trouble ...
But I've been on wordpress a lot. It was my intention to move my stuff there, to move on. But I miss this community, though I never was really involved. I miss browsing stunning art. I miss the raw, honest writing of people who wear their heart on their sleeve, who still live in the old days where you wrote under a nickname and loved faceless strangers for their art and compassion.
Blogging can be a lonely road. Strange, I know. Setting up your own little niche on the internet makes you feel grown up, independent, respectable. But it's nothing like a page with thousands of people, all pouring themselves out in art. I don't want to grow up all the way yet. Being married, being close to graduating again doesn't mean I have to act all white collar business. That wouldn't be me.
I found part of me a few days ago. Quotes on a TV show, and taking black and white pictures on a rainy day. So now I come full circle on this page by posting b&w simplicity of ordinary life once more.
I won't post all my stuff here in the future (the new design of this place is acting all wacko on my computer), but I'll be back, I promise.
Love, the girl now known as "starfish"

UPDATE: F****, the new upload is so unsecured that my browser won't upload any pictures. WTF. Hello Admins, what on earth have you done to this page??
