So I don't write many full on blogs, because quite frankly, I'm not good at it. I've never been great at expressing my feeling unless they're good ones. I always have so many things going through my brain that I want to write about, that I get a bit overwhelmed. So I'm gonna do my best to make this easy to read.
First off, I'm so happy to be back on SG. I was a member for a few years but decided to take a break for a while. After about 3 years away, I decided to join again and I'm very happy I did. Shortly before I left, I met a girl who was here from Canada visiting her mom. Long story short, we got married. She was working on getting her status here in the States, and being married would have helped the process, and I figured, why not? We had been together for a year at that point and it was something I wanted to happen, and knew would happen at some point anyway. She has since decided to move back to Canada, seeing as though we could never get her paperwork done. I can't say that I'm completely surprised, as much as it sucks that she's gone. So we're currently going through a divorce, which is difficult given the distance between us.
Anyway, a break from the sad stuff. Coming back to some new followers was a really cool thing for me. As small as it seems, meeting some new faces in a time where I was feeling pretty alone, was an awesome feeling. @chroi was one of those people. Always so sweet with her comments. Such a bright, happy person and a wealth of advice to many people. It was great to come back and see people like @chef and @eminence still around. Although we've never really had significant interactions, they were 2 very memorable people from my previous time here. I really look forward to meeting more new people on here, as it looks like a lot of the people I followed before I left aren't too active anymore.
I suppose I'll leave it at that for now and give my brain a rest.
If you've read this whole thing, you're amazing and it means a lot to me.
Cheers.
PS, Here's an old photo of me on a mountain... Just because.
