After a Long Absence...

Well, it’s been a while. Sorry about that.

Honestly, I don’t mean to keep prefacing my posts with an explanation as to why it’s taken me so long to produce more content. Time really does get away from me, and life has been really chaotic ever since I began this blog.

One of the major goals I hope to achieve for this blog is a better writing schedule. I don’t know if I could achieve something like a weekly post, but I would like my output to be way more consistent than it is now. I still believe in blogging without obligation wholeheartedly; I think my posts would suffer if I tried publishing on a weekly basis. However, time management is a skill that I desperately need improvement on. There is a variety of content I would like to cover--DIY projects, makeup, reviews, vulture culture--that I’ve had to push back due to time constraints. I had to postpone writing about certain bands for my Aural Tendencies series because of how long it was taking for me to track down their discography and write about them, and I wanted to have at least one post by the end of the month. I want to put my all into each of my posts and hate that I’ve been only able to write about so little.

I really enjoy writing this blog, and I hate that the past couple of years have produced so little content. (I was only able to publish 3 posts in 2014, for example. This will not do.) This year I’m hoping to be more productive and post more content in a timely manner so I can share these different topics of interest with my readers.

Thank you so much for your patience.

From the Dust Returned...

It had been a while since I had left the world of blogdom, leaving only a shallow, i.e., practically nonexistent footprint to be covered by the dust of time. 

I had good intentions with the creation of my short-lived blog born out of a genuine interest to connect with other Goths within the blogging community. It was also supposed to be a blog featuring various sketches, drawings, paintings, and other forms of art. I revamped the blog after suffering from serious writers’ block, eager for a fresh start to spur my creative juices. 

Unfortunately, the lack of ideas, as well as the unpredictability of life forced me to delete the blog after a very short run. I decided that blogging wasn’t for me, joining others who slowly vanished from the radar.

However, as I continued on with life, I really felt the desire to write and share my opinions—no matter how ridiculous—with others. I found inspiration to write as I delved further in the subculture as well as my own outside interests, which I wish to touch on through writing this blog. Strange and sinister beauty can be found in many places.

As I write this, the trees are painted with golden yellows, oranges, and reds. The smell of spice and pumpkins permeates the air. The day will soon be consumed by the night.

October has arrived, and so have I.
