It's been a while. A year, I think. Nah, more than a year. It says here that the last post was from Januar 9, 2011.

I guess that's pretty unfortunate, too. Revisiting this blog afer a whole year has passed, and realizing now that I left a whole years worth of thinking, musing, and learning unrecorded.

In the past year, I've learned so much, experienced so many things, and went through dramatic change. And yet, I feel like I haven't made too many steps forward.

I'm looking down the line and all I see are miles and miles of unfinished business. Of more to come. Of even rougher roads.

In the next few days, I'll be catching up on the lost stories of 2011, the meaningful anecdotes that never came to be, the words that have passed through my mind and never been put down.

It's a shame, really, no one should ever let a lesson go unkept. It should be constantly refurbished, reminded, recorded, kept track of.

And as many times as it's been said by other people, I'm going to say it one more time. Life, just like history, repeats itself.

Throughout the years of your life, there are two things. Recurring themes-landmarks, if you will, and also rare events. You take the recurring themes for granted because, even if you don't think this train of thought will happen to you, you believe that the situation will present itself to you again, and so the need to address it isn't as dire.

And it comes back. And you do the same thing again, push it off. And it comes back.

And it festers.

It roots itself inside of you to the point where it becomes a never-learned lesson that you want more than anything else to get rid of, but want to hide when it comes a-knocking.

When I don't blog. When I don't place down my thought processes. When I don't leave myself something to remember from a previous struggle that may prove to be the key to turning my viewpoint of a current trial to what is right and holy, something bad happens.

I learn nothing.

So here goes, hopefully a year of steadfast blogging. As I said before, there will be quite a few things put up on this blog tha are from the year 2011, but it'll be intermingled, or a huge blast right off the bat. I haven't yet decided.
