It’s prettier to be so.

It shows up in my blog title, this over-indulgence in matters that have past. Taken off “The sun also rises” by Hemingway, the last line of this novel has captured all the what-ifs in my head and calmed the sighs in my heart perfectly for a long time.
It is a line I liked very much. I held on to it.
So much that I had it etched on a cap, and when I lost the cap, I texted a friend from the States to do a replica, with the same words on it.
But this line thrives in the past.
For some time now, I have wondered what to do with this blog. It has all the recesses of the past. 7 years. When did it amount to so much? The long archive is something I want to return to, occasionally, for a peek, but not continue from.
I suppose it is time to leave it behind, and start on a clean slate like Xinyi said. So that’s exactly what I am going to do. I’ve re-opened the archives here, but I am moving to a new address in 2011. Because I am thinking, it is prettier to be so.
