I am here

I have not been very dedicated to my blog as of late. A few things happened over the course of the last four weeks that have considerably altered my universe. I will be leaving very soon and returning to my home state of Minnesota. I've mentioned that already. The other has to do with a friend and an incident that turned out to be traumatizing to everyone involved. I really don't know if I should get into personal details about such a thing in a very public place like this, but the experience has altered the lives of four people in a very, very powerful way. The things I've experienced in my time here, some 1,000+ miles away from home, have been a myriad of encounters I've never had in my life. I am, by nature, a very solitary person. The events of my past have molded my level of trust, so the few people who have managed to break through that will always have a space in my memory until the day I die. These girls, and a small handful of other people I've met, are in that category. Anyway, my plans are to spend a lot of time with my family and to find gameful employ, as well as continue my studies. One thing I want to do is keep what I reveal here fresh and interesting. What I've written here might not qualify as interesting or noteworthy, rather, it is an explanation of sorts. Perhaps even a promise. I will try to be more open. I will try to give more of myself.
