It has seriously been way too long, hasn't it.
Disclosure: this post contains writing from a very rusty blogger trying to scrape off the rust. Prettiness not guaranteed.
It's the end of the school year, and you know what that means. Motivation levels are off the charts. And by off the charts, I mean below the x-axis. Too low to be accounted for.

These days (and most days) it's just so easy to push things off to the side. To me, the word procrastination has sort of become diluted; I've become desensitized to it just because I use it and do it and live it so often. Mentally clearing things off the table has become a habit to the point where I'll be reading an article about ways to use mint when it has overrun your urban windowsill garden when I should be studying for AP exams. I'll ask "Why am I doing this?" and answer "Because it feels right."

You know that feeling: when the thought of doing something pressing and actual (like writing a blog post *coughs violently*) is just so huge that you'd much rather sit in your bubble of contentment and internet self-help tinged with shame. It's not simply a matter of avoiding real work anymore; it's just habit.
And as we all know, habits make or break you.
