New Life, New Blog

Hi Blogosphere! It's been awhile, so I feel like I need to explain why I'm here.

Years ago, I started a blog called Confessions of a Martial Heartist where I talked about my job as a karate instructor, hot topics in pop culture, and how all of that tied into Christianity. It was like my personal manifesto, and I loved adding to it. It made me feel like I had a voice on the web, without succumbing to the lure of facebook (which I have restrained myself from since high school.) Sadly, when junior college made me busier than ever, I cut back on blogging. Eventually, I posted so infrequently that I just sort of gave it up. *sad trombone*

 2014 has been a transformational year for me: new jobs, new college, new major, two new boyfriends, weight loss, friends getting married, friends coming out of the closet, friends dying, friends moving to Europe and binge shoe buying. It's like this whole year my life has been flipped around and it's left me with sort of an identity crisis. So when I decided to start blogging again, it didn't feel right to keep posting on the same webpage I created in high school. Hence, a new blog for a new era. Ray Bradbury always said that the only way to become a writer was to write everyday, so hopefully this will help me become a little more Bradburyish.
