I’m not much for New Year’s resolutions but the one thing I did resolve to do is breathe more life into this here blog again. I follow Malka Dubrowsky of a stitch in dye, and about a week ago she started doing a a pretty cool thing (originally from here) designed to accomplish just like that. Each day for 30 days, she’s taking a picture and write a paragraph to document your life. Seemed like such a good idea that I immediately decided to knock her off.
Naturally, I thereafter did not get started until a week later. And I’m guessing there’s a very real chance I won’t keep going for a whole 30 days. Life is a little hectic here, because of things I’m itching to write down but can’t just yet. Good things. Creative and beautiful and fun things. I can’t wait.
I’d promised myself I wouldn’t write much about politics here but I am, after all, Hungarian. My heart breaks for my home country but I am also glad that people there are speaking out more and more. And I am grateful for this, because it makes crazy midnight worries of never being able to visit home seem just that: crazy. I am grateful that they are brave enough to speak their minds. But I have to confess I am also grateful I live in a country where the checks and balances of the political system still work pretty well. And I wish for Hungarians to be able to just blog with their cat (baby, dog, hamster, pet turtle…) sleeping next to them, without worrying if what they say today will be held against them tomorrow, without having to stand on a cold street protesting the laws of their country being torn out of their hands by their very own leaders.
