I knew it had been a long time since posting. I knew a lot of water had flowed under the bridge, but I hadn't stopped to realize - almost four years. Wow! I have to admit, I had not once thought it had been that long. With all the things happening in my life, I also hadn't realized how much actually, I missed it. What began in 2005 as a means of finding myself, or perhaps, a means of losing myself, it all began. The first post was made and a lot of acquaintances from fellow bloggers, as well. It was one of these special friends from years ago reaching out in email asking, "Where are you, what is going on, hoping you are OK" that made me stop and take stock in blogging again. I've stopped, re-read old posts, re-lived the highs and certainly a lot of lows in the last few days. But, you know what I've discovered? Stephen is still standing! Still here, still around, still in "The Closet" and Stephen is ok with that. Now, it makes me wonder about all the other bloggers from the past. When going through the blogroll, very few are still around. I know some wonderful blogging friends has past on in life. I guess others like me just faded away leaving a trace of themselves on the web. I can only hope they found happiness and their dreams were fulfilled. I've added some new blogs to the blogroll and I'm looking forward in making some new acquaintances as I entered the world of blogging once again. If you wondering by for the first time, sit a spell, read some old post, say hello, you are always welcomed at Stephen's Closet.

I am glad that you've started to write again, and I feel fortunate that I stumbled upon your blog. I started my blog in 2011, but I drifted away from it. I rediscovered it in the last couple of months and like you, I have gone back and reread some of my posts. A bit of therapy and a bit of melancholy, but good to put it in words. It is good to know that there is someone out there who understands life in the closet.
Thank-you! If anyone knows about life in the closet, I'm your man. I can tell you all about the uncertainty of doing the right thing for others or yourself with balance always tilting in the favors of others more often than not. Thanks for the comments, they are always welcomed.
Bravo!
