So funny starting a new blog because to be honest this is the first time in a while that I feel I do not where to begin but I feel I know how to blog now. What do I mean by that? I know now when which blogs to post my "deep" feelings and my "fun" feelings and Vox is the place for the latter for me. There are a few things I will cut back on and cut out of my web life so to speak...

Twitter is out: Twitter is a cool thing don't get me wrong but it is no longer for me. I find that the more I'm on twitter the less I wish to write and to be honest I love to write. I also found myself loathing to be on the web period and I thought that would never happen to me. So I will begin to use twitter for what it is made for...updates and cool links I come across. I'm not going to lie, I like to run my mouth and twitter is not made for that and I know better than to try and make twitter into something that I know it is not.

I found myself becoming lazy when it comes to reading when it comes to twitter. I have to step back and get back to when I first began blogging, what made me fall in love with writing in the first place.

Having fun again: It's hard to believe but I think I will be coming up on 2 years since being on Vox. Things have change, some of my Vox neighbors have moved on, some I have lost contact and others I still have a closeness to so with that said with my new Vox blog I truly consider those my friends and family and this time I will be very careful on who I follow. This blog will be for my random thoughts, photos I take, music I like...like my very first blog. My more in depth thoughts will be on my main blog. This place will be for me just let my hair down(that's a poor choice since I shave my head every two weeks)...how about for me just being me, no serious post, no thought-provoking/face frowning/political/theology post because I have a place to post those and will provide links for those because that way whoever wish to check them out and vise versa.

It's amazing that sometimes we have to tear things down completely, step back and reflect to see what you need to keep, what you need to throw to the wayside and what to do to truly make yourself happy and feel at peace again. Vox is a very cool place and most of the people I have encounter are some of the best so I want to step back get to know my neighbors again and for me to get to know me as well.

I am going though a similar phase as well. I came close to starting a new blog, but did not want to maintain two of them. I then almost deleted my entire Vox account, but decided to clean it up and start fresh in the same footprint. So many of the videos and links that I posted were no longer active anyway. I have been feeling that I do way too much surfing on the internet and it is keeping me from dealing with the real issues in my life. At least you are going back to school. That is what I should be doing, but I tend to find so many things to distract me like being on the internet. I am going to focus my Vox on my photography and see what happens. I may eventually move off to another platform, but for now, I love my Vox neighbors and don't want to leave.

I hear you on that. I was blessed to receive the grade I did from my last class and I promised myself and God that when I begin class again, the internet will be put on HOLD. I slacked so much from school but manage to get a good grade out of the class so that was nothing but the grace of God so from hear on out I am cutting out surfing the web when I am in school.

I think in the end I will move my photos over here but i will stop posting at my old Vox blog.

I understand your changes completely. That's the very reason why I have Vox for the "fun stuff" because, hey, I find it to be a fun place and my neighbors are some awesome, interesting characters. But it's the very reason why I keep my main blog here at Wordpress, for when I want to express deeper thoughts. Vox is just not the place for that for me. It doesn't matter to me if no one ever reads the deeper stuff, the point is for me to have that outlet of expression.

Count me in as a regular visitor, and good luck!
