Well here we go, here we go again

 eah here we go again!  ba duh ba duh bum bah!

Welcome one, welcome all to my latest, greatest blog!

I used to blog multiple times a week from around 2000 until 2004 when Facebook came to my college. Then Facebook officially took over my life in a way that Myspace never could. I literally became obssesed, had a bad case of FOMO before I even knew what it was, and even talked about it the speech I gave as a senior to the formal-wear dressed crowd at my last sorority dance. (I was honored to be selected to speak.)

I talked about how you can't live your life online wishing you were with all the people that looked like they were having more fun than you, but you weren't invited.  You had to get your head out of the computer (this was before iPhones) and notice that your own life was already amazing and you were already doing fun things, you just weren't posting about them online all the time.

CUT TO PRESENT DAY -
SCENE: Rachel sits at her preowned MacBook writing in a new blog because she hasn't touched her old one for nearly 20 years. Her mindset finding itself in the same funk she succumbed to when she wrote that speech so many moons ago.

Well, here I am, missing journaling, missing writing out my thoughts and feelings. Feeling like I'm missing out, but I'm not!  We just enjoyed a great weekend in the Hill Country and I took lots of photos, but because I didn't post any of them, no one knows we even went there or traveled and drank great wine except for the people we saw face to face while on the quick vacation weekend.

So once again I want a space to think.  To type. To share.  Even if no one reads, it feels good to get things down onto paper (pixels) and let it all go.  

I may keep this up for a day.  I may keep this up for a month. I may keep this up for 4-5 years like I did my first blog (which is now deleted, omg I reread the whole thing recently and it was CRINGE AF---DELETED).

But if you're here, thanks for joining me on this journey.  And now let's see if I remember any HTML from my early days so I can code this site to be exactly what I want, while paying nothing for it.  lol

Peace out!
