New Year's Resolution

Jan 1

It’s been awhile since the last time I’ve updated this blog.  And I don’t know why.  Maybe because I feel the comfort of being here. Maybe because I have nothing left to say.  Maybe because my mind is somewhere else.  I’ve found things to occupy my thoughts.  I’ve met people to keep me company.  I want to think that I kept a blog for people to know what is going on in my life in Ukraine.  But there’s only so much I can tell you about Ukraine.  But as our Country Director stated ‘Write for yourself.’  So this blog that I keep is for myself.  To remind myself.  Remind myself of the days that I might forget.  Remind myself of the feelings that I might not feel again.  Remind myself of the life that I am living.  ‘Because sometimes laughter may die, and colors fade into sepia.  Because life has a way of moving too fast, and loss is the refrain of the living.  Because even our most distinct moments can blur with distance.  This is why.  This is why I begin this collection.’
