Back.

Lots to report; too much in fact. Been pondering the idea of how everyone MUST document and archive everything...I don’t ever want to feel that way. Forced. Living for others. Contrived. I’ve literally resisted posting things I knew would be “hip” to help combat this overwhelming urge people fall prey to. 

I don’t feel the need to report anything, because I already know what I took away from those things. Sooooo be well, and peace. *resumes reblogging*
