I see it has been three years since I last posted here. Three… Years…
After three years I think it’s safe to ask: Am I still a nudist?
Of course! In fact, I would say that I am more of a nudist than I ever was before! In the last three years I have joined a non-landed club, I have visited a few more of the resorts in my state, and finally made some nudist friends who have since become best friends.
Life has changed and changed again. Thus, this blog (and most of my creative endeavors) got put on the back burner. I have been hustling, juggling full time work with multiple side jobs, taking care of five kids, and dealing with loneliness and patches of depression (even nudist friends can’t fix everything). I became fully single two years ago, I went back to church, I joined the county Libertarian Party. I went to Scotland. Life has been a blur since I last posted here!
Also, honestly, even though I became more of a social nudist, I ran out of thoughts about nudism to write down here. My mind has been so divided between every other aspect of my life that nudism became more a quiet and abiding part of my identity and less something I felt compelled to shout from the rooftops.
The only consistent thing these last three years (besides my faith) has been the nudist life. I can’t imagine trying to get through life without it. It’s crazy how something so simple can be such a comfort in hard times. My days are often long and dirty, I come home sweaty and dusty and not smelling so great. I feel suffocated until the clothing comes off and the grime is washed away in the shower. Most people then suffocate their bodies with more clothing., but not me! I can’t imagine that life.
So why am I back? And, is it for good this time? I have a terrible track record of inconsistent posts on all my blogs. Three years is an absurd amount of time to pass between posts. And did you read the last one?! Man, was I in a bad place then. I am back because I need these outlets. I need to be creative and put something out into the world. Also, I have more to say, now that I have delved deeper into the social nudist world.
My plan now is to post once a week as my life allows. Also, I’m going to start editing old posts on my WordPress page. It’s insane to me how many typos and grammar errors slipped by me back then (and probably still do). Plus, I might have some updated perspectives that make those old posts irrelevant or more well rounded now. So go back through the archives and see what changes, and stay tuned for future posts. I already have some ideas in the works, so pray that I can keep it up!
