Period of silence

So, I've decided to discontinue this blog.  It no longer serves the purpose that I initially intended it for.  It's become more like an online journal, and who needs that when I have a real journal?  I don't really have it in me to write the funny or upbeat or entertaining posts that I used to, and it's become more and more depressing around "the Stage Door" of late.  Maybe that's my whole problem, I've been so concerned about putting on a show. 

When I was a little kid, I used to be pretty roudy.  I was rambunctious, and funny, always singing songs and telling stories.  At some point not long after the abuse started, I realized that no one was really hearing me.  Then I retreated.  I could keep completely silent for days at a time, not even speaking when spoken to.  I would go into my room and just play by myself.  I learned to be pretty good company all alone.  At some point in my early teens, I learned to hide in a different way.  I hid behind humor and jokes and putting on a show. 

But I'm tired now.  I'm thinking it may not be a bad idea to retreat for a while.  So, the show's over, folks.  I wish y'all well.  If anyone actually wants to talk to me, y'all know where to find me.  See you on the flip side.
