So despite the large number of “I’s” in this post, this “apathy” that you talk about might have nothing to do with you. If you’re forcing yourself to enjoy a show, it probably means the show isn’t any good.

@Owen: I should be the one thanking you! As for blogging energy, bah, I seem to have lost it along the way too. Hope I can get it back again!! I’m honored to know I was of influence to you too, even a little

Anyway, it’s been great knowing you–I still remember the very first time I read this blog when tj linked to you (if I wasn’t mistaken, his fascination stemmed from the fact that Scrumptious was mostly run by girls), and you’ve come a long way since then, so this post is highly appropriate.

Like Martin, I’m glad to know what something of what I’ve written’s affected you in some way, no matter how little. Keep up the good work! Sometimes you make me wish I had the energy to write a thousand-word post a day again–that’s how infectious your zest for blogging is.

I enjoy your blogging topics.

First, a big thanks to all who read this and especially those who took the time to reply.

@Diego: that’s where it all starts, right? One reason why I managed to write something like this is because I felt really lost in blogging, much much more than you, so this is my way of saying ‘I finally found myself again’ or something. In time, once you start searching for your blogging purpose, I’m sure you’ll feel compelled to do a bit of introspection yourself. Have a blessed new year ahead of you!

@ghostlightning: I’m prone to being emo, haha. I guess this is the first of my emo posts that you’ve read, and I’m glad I was able to share this with you too. Looking forward to our epic meeting, w00t!

@Caitlin: selfish, eh… I guess you can say that More feedback is always good. And yes, it’s the insights that other people bring is the most rewarding part of it, couldn’t have said it any better.

@N: that title is a genius, N! made me wish I thought of it! Having realized that I still have a LOT to learn in blogging (and in life in general) is just… comforting~ I’m so glad I got to know you guys, otherwise I wouldn’t have been this enlightened! ^-^

@lelangir: wow, memoir… how I’d love to have that kind of “blogging epitaph” one day. The question is, who’d be willing enough to make it?

Thank you for the recommendations, duly noted! Will make sure to check them out! Hope the local bookstores have them in stock, gonna head out on a book shopping spree tomorrow.

@Martin: Thank you so much, you make me blush and cry Bloggers like you never cease to humble me, and having you guys share in the joy I’m feeling is an honor! Viva la blogging!

@Omisyth: thank you for the kind words! I’m still learning, and having shared this experience with people is just wonderful! A Prosperous New year to you!!

@Ryan: forced writing = teh horror, as you’ll eventually feel alienated from the very posts you write! That’s certainly where I was headed had I not STOPPED what I was doing and evaluate it first. Thank you for constantly dropping by and reading our posts, no matter how silly or pretentious it was. I might not have been able to return the favor by commenting on your blog, but it’s something this little bunny appreciate from the bottom of her heart!

@didinskee: aww, thank you for inspiring me as well! This whole journey wouldn’t have been complete(though of course it’s still not complete) without all of you. Thank you!
