Maybe I just have writer's block. Maybe I'm just busy with work and my first and potentially only "real" relationship. Maybe I'm realizing I was never that good a writer, and the time for becoming a better writer has passed. Maybe I'm tired of telling my story and trying to get people seeing new angles. Maybe I just think I have nothing novel or useful to say in this way, and my openness in my personal life has superseded this blog in importance. Maybe it's just not my battle anymore, and I'm inclined to settle into further obscurity and live an even simpler, quieter life. Maybe I'm also afraid this battle and effort of outreach has been my most important or impacting legacy (though unlike many bloggers, I do NOT get fan mail with proclamations that my blog changed someone's life...which I like to think just means my readers are mostly already stable, healthy individuals *wink*), and I will feel less useful or influential if I'm not actively engaged in the battle, even if only through a piddly blog. Maybe I'm a little fish in a big pond, and I'm not invested or skilled enough to compete with or be of any real use to the big boys. *sigh* I guess angst and existential crises aren't entirely over. :-)

Ha ha. Well, hopefully that means your blog will continue. :)
Congratulations on your relationship. This is great.
Those of us who have followed you over the years enjoy updates.
I think your readers moved on before you did :-)
Feeling much the same...
Maybe.
I never really wrote for ratings anyway, so let's be honest: this probably isn't the demise of my silly blog.
As you sort all of that out, for what it is worth, I appreciate your voice and sometimes humorous take. Yours was one of the blogs that I most frequented just as I was coming out a year and a half ago. I hope you'll continue to share your thoughts as your time permits.
