Puzzle pieces

I can't believe how badly I've neglected this blogging thing. Usually I only do it to make sure I still know how to put sentences together and that I can still at least keep a toe in something related to writing.
However, I've felt generally unmotivated about writing for reasons I can't quite gather and somewhat hesitant to share my thoughts in a public forum such as this, which is a feeling I didn't have before; I used to speak fairly freely. Now I think about it too much, and that behaves kind of like a self-censor. The whole point of this thing is to not have a censor!
I have a feeling I've also been kinda distant in general. That I suppose will change in the next few months, and I'll start reconnecting. I kind of thought this year would be a year of productive change, and while sometimes change ain't necessarily easy, I think some of the first few pieces are falling in to place to allow the next to be possible.
We'll see.
