Oh boy, do I feel a hiatus coming on. Not only will I be swept away with the holidays and the upcomming New Year's trip to England (yay) and the start of a new semester, but the break will also be taking a less literal form as well.
Why, why says the sign in the shop window
Why, why says the junk in the road
Why, and from what you ask? Good question. It's taken me a while to get here...months actually, but I finally have the wherewithall to realize that some things in my life just have to go (as if they weren't already due for a boot the past few months).

I know that time and time again I've made the resolution to be strong and live for myself and make the right choices to maintain my sanity and self-respect...and now finally, I'm trying - f' that - GOING to do that. While I can't just "phase out" some aspects of my life, as I'd like to, I resolve to deal with them maturely and solidly. I don't need to continue engaging in relationships that only cause me emotional confusion and turmoil and leave me questioning myself and my sanity. As easy as it may be to just leave things as they are until they naturally dissolve, as a friend was telling me the other night, it's come past the point where a change might occur and the cord must be cut.

Game over yo - I'm out. So long for a while.
