Not Dead.

So you know in BBC's Sherlock (spoiler alert if you haven't seen the show yet), Sherlock fakes his own death and completely disappears for two years. Not even his best friend, John, knows that he's not actually dead. Then, with absolutely no warning, Sherlock Holmes shows up again.

I figure Sherlock was expecting John to cry tears of utter happiness or something when he finally made his dramatic return after two years. I don't think he was expecting a death glare and a punch in the face.

John was MAAAAD.

Guys, I totally pulled a Sherlock on you. I just - disappeared. Without warning. Even though I deserve it, please don't pull a John and brutally attack me.

Surprise!!! Not. Dead.

I thought I was going to be able to blog in college. I really did. I just couldn't.

Writing a blog post takes a lot of time for me. I can't force myself to write a post, and I need to feel energized in order to be in the mood for writing. I realized that in college, time and energy gets spent up really quickly. Not much left over for blogging. Not much at all.

In college, free time isn't free.

Last week, I came home to Ireland for the summer. It's so good to be back here for a whole three and a half months. 

Being home reminded me of blogging. There's the desk in my room where I've spend hours writing blog posts at. There are my bookcases of books that I used to fly through and then rave about. There's my camera that I used every single day, and the kitchen where I created all of my fictional feasts. 

I'm currently writing this post whilst sitting crossed legged in my spinny chair (my feet are falling asleep now tbh) with an empty cup of tea beside me, and it feels so right. Something was missing about being home, and this was it. 

Being at college is so different. Blogging seemed like something I did in the past. It just didn't fit into my life, somehow.

I am still a blogger. It's one of my favorite things in the world. I love the blogging community. I miss you guys a lot. I miss writing for the sheer fun of it (as opposed to pumping out papers on a weekly basis). I miss reading big stacks of books each month and using my camera. 

Maybe blogging doesn't fit into my life at college. But for now, I'm back. And I'm super happy about it. 

If you're still out there, old friends, pretty pretty please leave me a comment and tell me about what I've missed and about the things you've been up to. Let's have a nice catch-up chat. Sound good?

Love,

Your Long Lost Hannah
