A Fresh Start?

Lately, I've been debating whether or not I want to keep this blog going during my trip to Southeast Asia or start a new one. On the one hand, anyone who wants to read my blog can read it...obviously, since it's hanging out there on the Internet and what not. On the other hand, do I want to be advertising it? Clearly my concern is mostly around the stuff I wrote last year. I mean sure I have been about as open as I can be about Tony and our breakup but do I want everyone who is reading my blog for the traveling piece of things to know about those feelings? I'm not quite sure. I'm guessing though that with everything else that is going on in my life at this very moment between wrapping things up at work and prepping for my trip, that when it comes right down to it, I will end up keeping this blog going out of sheer laziness. I will say though that at the very least this blog is evidence of how far I've come in the last couple of years (can you believe it's been that long?? It sure doesn't feel like it!!) And while there is something to be said for a fresh start, I know I've definitely come a long way in that time and maybe it's nice to have evidence of that transition....Pretty sure that this time last year I would not even have begun to consider actually going on a trip like this-- it's one of those things you talk about but never actually do, you know? But why not? What's stopping you? For me, it was an insecurity that I could do it, financially, job wise, logistics wise. But things have shifted, I've worked my ass off and as far as I'm concerned now, I totally deserve it. So exactly one month from today, off to Thailand I go!
