Time for a reroll

[Pherales]

Thus spoke the artist formerly known as Dalish.

 

When I chose Dalish as my username, I picked it to sort of act as a goal point.  It was where I wanted to be, and all of my goals focused around this sort of ideal I had.  Outside in the world, long hikes, as much time rolling around in fields as possible.

 

Then last year I found out I was allergic to grass pollen, and everything pretty much changed.

 

I've tried since to keep going and maintain my presence here because I like the community and the accountability.  But I kept seeing the name.  Dalish.  And it felt kind of like a broken promise to myself.  A reminder of plans that had changed and dreams I'd put aside.  I needed a change.

 

So this time, no promises.  No setting a course for myself without knowing what the obstacles might be.  I'm giving myself the permission I need to explore myself and find my own awesome, without the weight of expectations hanging over my head.
