When I first started blogging in 2006 I found I had a lot to say. Anything became an excuse to sit down, open blogger and start typing. And it went on like this for a few happy and monogamous years. Then I found Twitter. Overnight my small one-liner posts ceased to be (unless they were over 140 characters). A few months later I opened my Facebook account. That was another blow to my blogging persona. Then Tumblr came along. Soon I had so many options in the world of social media that I struggled to find something to write about on the blog. What was once my one personal window to the web was now just one of many doors.
My life also changed a lot. I'm not the overly-verbal Uni student that would expose her private life on the web for therapeutic purposes. Now I find my private life is not just my own and I have no right to go into detail about something other people might find uncomfortable to share. So it's an old world with new rules!
And what's in the name? Well, just my simple self trying to make it work in a foreign country. For almost two years I've moved out of my dad's into my boyfriend's (now our place) over a thousand miles away from where I lived all my life. And this is what it's all about!
