I had a great weekend away from social media and the internet.

I almost didn’t want to come back. I didn’t want to come back to updating statuses, trying think up blog posts based off a 30 second thought during my day, people thinking my name is Merry instead of Mary, and all that comes with this little world I’ve created online.

But I’m back. Because where else would I go? I’ve been blogging for almost half my life now. Though I sometimes miss the anonymity of my days on LiveJournal and Xanga, I can’t stop blogging. At least not yet.

I don’t have anything profound to share today. Nothing exciting to share about my weekend. Maybe later when I can upload photos.

All I can do right now is think of the words that keep repeating in my head this morning. Over and over and over.

Work harder. Do more. Be better.

Over and over I’m listening to these repeat. Hoping I get it right and actually listen.

Maybe I’ll blog a real post later today. Or tomorrow. Or some time.

But for now I’m just listening to these words. Maybe you need to hear them too.
