This is going to be my last blog post here. It’s been fun, but I really think that the I time has come for me to move on from this blog and try new things. I really mean it when I say that I’ve enjoyed keeping this blog and sharing little tidbits of my life here and there, but I’ve started to pay less and less attention to this outlet, so, until I find a new one, I feel as though it needs to be shut down. I’ve recently started to feel as though the blog has lost what little relevance it had, which really sucks, because I can honestly say that - in addition to having this blog be a way to essentially my amateur writing and photography - I have, on countless occasions, found peace in the therapeutic process of proverbially putting thoughts to paper and posting them here.

I’ll miss you guys.
Thanks for sticking around.

I keep her close to my chest and she keeps me out of the morgue. Athena, goddess of wisdom, warfare, and Divine intelligence. #athena #minerva #pallasathena #dogtags #military #selfie #deployment #afghanistan #oef
