This could be the start of something new.

No, I promise I won't start belting out the tune of a cheesy Disney Channel movie. (Although I will admit I am a huge fan of High School Musical and both of its sequels. I still know all the lyrics to perhaps 90% of their songs.)

What I am referring to, dear readers of the Internet, is blogging.

You see, I've been an active blogger for almost half of my life. It all started with a Xanga account created in 2006. Since then, I've had various blogs on Xanga, Tumblr, Blogspot, and Wordpress, but unfortunately, I haven't been blogging as often in recent years. And I miss it so - my daily and personal recollections of life. (Which I've been doing since I was 7, via journaling.)

I've been meaning to get back into blogging for the longest time, but I kept telling myself that I'm not ready to go back, whatever the heck that means. Perhaps it's because I have always made it a goal to blog at least once per day and I know now, after a few failed attempts, that this is not exactly practical. I don't want to go back and miss a day or two, or three, and then completely stop. I'm so tired of doing that.

But why should I let that stop myself from writing on a public blog again? Am I really so dramatic that I've given up public blogging cold turkey?

Maybe. But hey, I'm 20 now, so maybe I'm a little more mature and ready to return. So this post is to let the world know that I, Justine, am going to get back into blogging again. I used another blogspot/blogger account throughout 2013 but I wanted to make a new one. Shh, don't judge. I'll also begin blogging on my new WordPress account -- how exciting!

My next post will come after I return from vacation next week. See you then!
