I could lie and say that I haven't had anything to write about these past ten days (even though they've been action packed). I could say that I've been far too busy to even think about blogging (although I think about it everyday). I could say that there was some unyielding emergency that kept me from my online persona but it all just rings empty and false.
I was simply unglamorously unmotivated.
Which is to say I didn't feel like.
I didn't give a good hmm hmm.
And Leilachan from January 2008 would have felt very guilty about 10 days of blog silence. She would have felt irresponsible and a touch neglectful but that feeling hits us all doesn't it?
The "I don't give a...about that," feeling.
The "You can all just...hmm" syndrome, the "yadda yadda yadda...who cares" attitude.
So this Leilachan of April '08 just pretends to forgive herself as she goes on one more self-justifying diatribe about how nothing matters and nobody gives a rats...HELLO, about anything and she goes to work and sits at her desk in her little cubicle and mindlessly goes about her utterly mindless job when she gets a text message from her best friend out of the clear blue that reads,
"When u think about it we really r soul sisters. Just check out how similar our paths r and how our parallel has only strengthened over time. I love u."
And I KNOW she does. In that moment I literally feel her presence at work, just thinking about her and she's absolutely right!
We ARE soul sisters because who else could have known what to do, what to say to me in that precise moment??
And it was just what the doctor ordered because a cloud literally lifted and I finished my shift as genki as ever and on the commute home, visions of my fabulous friends swam round my head and I was reminded by each memory of how charmed my life truly is.
Perhaps I needed a blogger break and didn't know it,
but it wasn't because nobody cares.
Thanks Deanne.
