I have been enjoying a super extended vacation off the interwebs for a few months now. I miss blogging terribly-- but falling off the face of the blogosphere kind of has its own sets of "perks". I found the time to enjoy myself and the things I love the most -- family, relationships, film studies, and fashion -- without having the need to barrage my readers with my day-to-day goings on. I found the space to recalibrate my life and keep special memories to myself, which I believe is essential to keep your sanity amidst such a public existence. It's been a great few months enjoying a kind of quiet tranquil, an escape from all the online pollution-- but then again, after almost 4 years of blogging, you ought to know by now that blogging (for me, at least) will always be a cycle that will resurge, repeat, and will once again bloom into fruition. There is so much to be thankful for, after all, to just throw away. I've learned so much from my online life and from everyone involved in it, and there's nothing but gratitude from all of this. Naturally, there is no giving up.

Anyway, Santa came early last year and more. Thank you to all those who gifted me with love, care, and all these awesome things. You know who you guys are!

Let's see if I can now make up for lost time.:) xx
