I had no idea how much I would miss blogging. See my site has been down, or broken, or in transition… for quite some time. I have enough other outlets to write, I still have been taking photos, working on designs, busy with school and life and everything else… but I actually really missed being able to post my thoughts on here.

There is something about giving a piece of your life to the waiting world that makes me feel more connected to those around me. I know there is probably very few people who even visit patronum, and probably even less who stay to read anything, but I still feel like I’m reaching out, even in the smallest way, to share some honesty with the world.

As Lauryn Hill once said:

Fantasy is what people want, but reality is what they need.
I’ve just retired from the fantasy part.

I’m still learning, every day, but I feel like this writing thing… even this “blogging” thing, as much as it is made fun of and mocked by much of the older community, is at least a way for each person to feel as if their thoughts matter. For a little bit of the fantasy to fall behind and be replaced by a wonderfully refreshing dose of reality.

That’s what I believe. So that’s what you’ll see here… Reality. In my photos, my words, my thoughts. Whoever is reading, and wherever you are, here is a piece of my life, my light, and my soul.
