The prodigal returns

So.. it turns out reading through your teenage blog after literal years of neglect is.. interesting, to say the least. It's really funny, because I recognize my 'voice' in my writings, and I can sort of remember experiencing these things I've written about, but at the same time it's like looking at a completely different life. I've changed and matured, be it gradually, and looking back on this makes me realize just how much.

I can't really say why I stopped updating my blog. I guess it's just like so many things, where no matter how much I like them, at some point it's gonna be too much effort to keep up (I'm generally at least half a season behind on my favourite tv shows - I just can't find the will to keep up with them). And anyway, I never proper got into the groove of regular blogging.

I mostly just switched to my tumblr, which is not a proper blog and I don't really use to post original content. The thing about tumblr is that it is a good platform for me to keep updated on what's going on in my fandoms - although the precise fandoms I look at have changed over time, as well. I'm in a position where if you would've told me even just a year ago where I am now in terms of fandom, I probably would have laughed in your face. It's hilarious.

I am on the verge of completing my bachelor's degree in Molecular Life Sciences, and that feels quite monumental. Especially since I've built up quite a bit of a delay over the years (mostly due to inconveniently timed illness and not-so-smart choices), but we're getting there. We're literally almost there.

I'm gonna stop here for now, I think. Obviously over three years there are a lot of things I could tell you, but I don't fancy spitting it all up at once, I don't think.

Who knows, maybe I'll get back into things for a bit, and you'll see more of my ramblings in the future.
