Hello there SG land.

If you're a veteran of this place, or have at least been around for over what has most likely been 2 years, you might remember a time when I used to blog often and in depth. I used to really give a little piece of myself and my life in almost every blog. I gave you guys an idea of who I really was as a person and I always got really flattering messages and comments about how much people loved my blog and they felt like they really knew me and were connected to me because of it. Well, I've been very hesitant to put any emotions out here anymore. Not because of anything any member ever did, just because of events in my life and the kind of person I have become which is now very personal and withdrawn. I've learned to keep my life to myself and, to be honest, I tell very few people about what goes on with me. I'm not necessarily closed off; if I were to sit down and have a one-on-one conversation with any one of you I would be more than willing to share with you an answer to any question you had. The truth is I don't have time to do that on SG, and on top of that I feel kind of guilty writing about my own life here. Why should all of you care about my joys and sadness when I can't return the same empathy?
I'm not really sure what I wanted to gain with what I've just written. I suppose what I'd like is to be more open with this community on this blog again but usually when I do sit down to write what I'm feeling I end up getting it out and deleting it without posting. I hope I don't do that with this...
But regardless, for those of you who felt that connection to me, I would like you to know that even though I haven't been sharing I have been constantly striving to better myself in all the ways I can. It's been a struggle and the improvement a person can make with oneself will never ever be complete but perhaps a neverending hobby can keep life interesting.
I find myself being more bluntly honest with people, perhaps when it's not necessarily the nicest thing but I prefer not to adapt to a social norm I don't agree with. How can one better the world if they can't better themself? I think a general lack of honesty and a constant need to "beat around the bush" or "sugar coat things" is what is making today's population so neurotic.

However, that's not what I came here to write about. I came to be selfish and use this blog to jot down my thoughts and to hopefully help myself get past a problem I've been having. They say writing is therapeutic, right? So why not if nothing else has worked:
My current issue is one of commitment. I have been without a long lasting romantic relationship for over three years now. I've dated around a lot and I've met many fantastic people, both men and women, but I have not been able to make that commitment to staying with anyone for more than a couple months. Originally I was not bothered, I was playing the field, I was enjoying my single life and I was finding out what I really wanted in my life and in another person. Well, after all this I believe now that I may have found what I want. Alas, I have rejected it before due to my fear of giving up what I would call my "freedom". I've been reading up on the fear of commitment and I feel like I have a logical view of all this in my head but I rarely talk about it. I never set myself up to HAVE to commit. I feel like the less people I tell, the easier it is to escape when I get nervous. So hear it is. I'm putting all this out here now so all of you who read this knows and if I'm still doing this in a year or two years or even three then I'll still just be running scared. It's not an excuse anymore. The first step to fixing your problem is admitting you have a problem to begin with, right?
So here we go, fingers crossed for not fucking up. I appreciate you sticking through my inner monologue if you've made it this far.

Now that I feel that this weight has been lifted more off of my chest than the typical metaphorical shoulders, I can give you what you may have expected, as it's all I post lately: photos!

I've been drawing more:

And then Comic Con came and went to stay with Venom and her met her super sweet pup who reminds me of a giant version of my Delphi:

kudos on the honesty, there is nothing greater and it is so very hard to find nowadays...
luck your way in the hopes that everything will fall into the places you want them to, though I'm not one to be helpful relationship-wise having only had 4 in 20yrs, I'm afraid - nonetheless, luck!

and, of course, thanks for the bevy of humour and picks!

This was nice; it does seem like you don't do these anymore. I've always loved reading your blogs, but I can understand the desire to protect oneself and reveal less, as it were. Still, thanks for doing this, even if it turns out to be just a one-shot kind of deal. You rock, Kemper wink

Nice Jager undies love
So, you have been letting out less info about your personal feelings and such...Sounds like a perfectly normal reaction when living a more public-type life, or at least in certain ways for sure. To have recognized the subject itself to point it out also shows that you're probably already moving in the direction you want and making progress. So you're having the commitment shakes. Happens to the best of'em, and I can see where you would want to choose carefully. You have plenty to offer someone in a relationship, and where I'm guessing you might be worrying the other person would be able to meet their half of the bargain maybe?
Anyhow, great pics. Love your sense of humor smile Take care Kemper

Ah, the whole commitment debacle. For the majority of people relationships are about control. Usually when someone asks you to commit, he/she is actually asking you to submit. It gives him/her a sense of control. Relationships should not be about control. Relationships should be about enjoying each other’s presence. Commitment should not mean submission. Commitment should mean pledging support to someone when he/she needs you. Keep on drawing.

I, sincerely, wish you good luck on bettering yourself and facing the fear that you've been running scared from. I also commend you for reading up on your issue and how to conquer that. Being aware is just the seam and you're on your way. Thanks for letting me in on your life. I'm rooting for Kemper. wink

Holy pictures, Batman (or Batwoman as in one of the photos)! Great drawing too!

It can be very difficult to figure out whether you are not committing in a relationship because you are afraid of commitment or because you're not sure if the relationship is worth a commitment. Every relationship is harder after the honeymoon period of the first couple months wears off and I think it's in that next month or two after that happens that one has to really debate the long-term potential of the relationship.

As a personal sidenote, my second longest relationship to date was with a girl I knew I had no long-term potential with. It just happened that both of us wanted a real commitment at the same time. And, though at the end of the day it is hard to tell whether staying with her for as long as I did prevented me (or her) from pursuing other relationships that might have had more potential, I would say that we both grew as people during that time and it was a more or less positive life experience. So, it might not be something you're interested in, but you can commit to something more than a couple months without necessarily having the pressure of committing to something one or both parties feels will last forever (but I think both parties need to be open about their feelings regarding the relationship in that scenario... and, well, in all relationships really).

Hope (and trust) you figure it out! wink

Yeah, its pretty disgusting what humans can do. I just can't imagine anyone seeing an animal hurt like that and wanting to do anything but come to it's rescue. What a dark part of human life.
