Hello, Dolly.

Dear friends and compatriots of the online blogging world,

I am back... after a long (and, I'm sure, heartbreaking) leave of absence. In the two and a half years that I have been gone from the blogging world, I have lived in three different states and worked three different jobs. I stopped going to school in order to "find myself" (Please excuse many of the cliches of my life. I will make no apologies for them. I like cliches.), but instead of finding myself, I really just ran out of money, lost friendships that I had worked at, and spent alot of time reading poetry in coffee shops. Or, perhaps, I am being too hard on myself. Maybe I learned more about myself then I thought. Maybe through all of this I have determined what is important to me, and what is not important to me, and that credit cards will lead you far, far into the temptation of Urban Outfitters. It's still hard to tell at this point in time.

And now, finally, I am ready to start over. I've come to a point of solidarity with my job. I think that there is a very small possibility that I might be ready to start being an adult. So, with the encouragement of my sister (and my friend, ashley, telling me that I am "made for blogging"), here goes nothing. A chronicle of someone who desperately needs and wants to grow up and is ready to start trying.

Peace to all,
Molly
