The Last Post

So I'm not really good with endings....

I've decided to finish up this blog. The Falling Movement will be done for after this post. It was a short-lived endeavor to try blogging again using my old (and very terrible) band's blog to post whatever I felt like at the time. But it had its moments of magic, when the writing was telling my story, or at least something passing for it.

And I'm thankful for that, as blogging's been a part of me growing up. I'd like to say writing's shaped me into the person I am today, but to be honest that's pretty corny and mostly untrue. What writing has done though has given me an avenue to speak my mind, which is an exercise I'd recommend to anyone to try. Whether its music, words or the amazing combination of both, I still feel like I did 5-6 years ago when I started the whole thing: that writing is how I say things I wouldn't otherwise be saying. And if you ever wanted to know the "real me" (however meaningless that phrase is), or at least part of it, you would most likely find a fairly good picture through what I write.

And as usual in all my blog posts, I'm waffling again. Guess not so much has changed there. But after everything that's happened this year I can't just come back to this blog and post about how my day's gone and all that journal-esque filler which is hardly better than my facebook page. So the best way to close this off is just to end this blog, once and for all. No more sporadic posting whenever I get the inclination. I'm done with blogging in this shape and form and on this platform. Its been 5 years of good times, but this is not that year.

To everyone who's followed me, read this blog once or twice, or is just some random on the internet reading this post, thanks so much. I hope you got as much from reading my words as I did from writing them. Seriously, thank you. I didn't do this just for you but I did honestly appreciate your feedback and comments, though they were almost about as sporadic and occasional as my posting at times.

If you want to keep track with what I'm up to musically or just enjoying my writing, please follow me on Soundcloud or check out my new place of sporadic posting Ninety Three Words. The blogging's gonna probably be scarce again, but the content's hopefully going to be better!

Here's to new beginnings. They're more fun than endings, and I suck at goodbyes anyway.
