The Switch

I have changed the title of the blog from “The Life & Times of Aless” to “Spinster Universe” deliberately; in my effort to be open to my readers (if I do have a reader, please give me a shout out). I remember reading Jason Mraz’s last blog entry for Fresh Factor 5000, he wrote: I marvel how the community has grown in the sub pages of our little black book with the rotating header and I thank you thank you thank you for being a friend and fan, someone who reaffirms my feeling accepted. And now, thanks to an abundance of love generated within, I am filled up and I choose to no longer seek acceptance.

I do feel as well that people like me blog to fill the longing for acceptance. And if I should be accepted for who I am, that would be being a Spinster.  I’m of the age when my family would not ask anything else but for me to get married and settle down. I know they love me, and only want the best for me but married life is a far too complicated matter for me to take on.  Although I never dreamed of becoming a spinster, it just looks like where my life is heading right now. I don’t want to dread it anymore. I would rather accept it with open arms. Spending my life grieving for a loss is rather fruitless. I might as well do what I love doing, which is writing.

I have so much ambition for this blog and right now I think I’m only taking baby steps. I spend so much time thinking about it that I never get to decide what to post or how it has to look. Now I ought to keep it simple. I hope the next few days when you visit this blog is going to be a wee bit more entertaining. At the moment, I feel like sulking for a bit, but hopefully I’ll get my groove back.

Cheers!
