We are fully functional and getting to work

                It’s time to give you all some explanation as to why I have been so quiet, and as to why this blog even exists. If I would have more time this past few months, we would not meet here, so maybe it all turned good…? Well… What happened, happened and now it’s time to look forward to new endeavors. I have some more texts coming this way over the next weeks, but I cannot promise how many and how often I will post them.
This post is also available in Polish.

Recent months has been extremely busy. School increased required attention, after school there was work, if there was no work there was karate… I hardly had time to read books (thing I truly love), and I had even less time to write anything, not only any meaningful text, but anything at all. I neglected friends, didn’t answer messages for days, didn’t do anything on my laptop… And then school ended, so everyone would expect me to start my private life from scratch. Hah. No. I started working more than before, sometimes (recently all the time) closing at 7pm. After coming home I literally wanted to do nothing at all. I couldn’t get my thoughts together to start writing anything. I started thinking about writing an e-mail to one of my old friends, but I still didn’t actually put it on paper (or rather, in Word).

After months of just browsing Reddit, I decided to join it somewhere near the end of school, started posting some stuff first on r/HistoryPorn (no, not everything with "porn" in its name is about porn), later on some other subreddits. It takes up time, believe me. I could sink into that for hours, and hours. It’s been such a great community and such a great context. I joined some political subreddits, posted some stuff on r/Christianity, discussed (sometimes more argued) with people Game of Thrones, both show and the books… Now I’m sinking there even deeper as Reddit is now in rebellion against the CEO and the administrators (reasons are Here and Here, the whole subreddit for it is Here), and there is even an on-going petition to Ms. Ellen Pao to step down as CEO of Reddit Inc. and let someone else, more qualified, take the job (which you can find Here).

What else? I don’t know. I’ve been using less Facebook, I had limited contact with many of my old friends, and I think I just didn’t feel the push to sit and write and be active. Also, long posts that at least attempt to be insightful require to be thought about for some time. I couldn’t find that time, or rather I didn’t want to make an attempt to find that time… How it’s going to be now? I honestly don’t know. For now I feel like I want to do something, I want to write about something. However, I don’t know how, if, and when I will be doing it. Next text might be in three days, might be in a week, might be in two weeks… I don’t know. If you want to get notifications I believe “follow by e-mail” on the sidebar should work. That way you will always know when something will be added here.

I’m glad to see each and every one of you. Every comment is greatly appreciated. :-)
