Whipit is back to the drawing board

I have taken a bit of a break from Whipt, in case you hadn't noticed. To be honest, the project I set out with involved too much commitment and consistency for where I am at with life.

Many events have unfolded and I have been given the gift of some time to get my shit together. I say that in an off handed, light hearted way, but the reality it that I needed time to do some healing that I would never have given myself unless it was forced (cryptic much?). If you want details, I have written up a small intro about my mental health journey here.

I decided to come back to Whipit now that I have some time and use it to help me along with what is ahead. I will be redirecting it more towards my art development. I'm really into watercolour and colour mixing skills at the moment. I am switching the 'monthly articles' page to an 'Updates' page which I'll use to post art studies and notes, less formal thoughts and...updates, I guess. The hope is that I will get a few completed pieces and share them to my new (and empty) Flickr account.

Blogging will be starting up again. Since I will be starting a DBT program in the coming months, the trend of the blogs will probably be around psychology, mental health, personality disorders and depression (sounds existential and miserable, I love that stuff!), but I also want to try open it up to some bigger thinking and topics. Religion and Atheism are big on my thoughts at the moment and, if I broach the topic, it will be the first time I've written openly about some newly budding views I am opening up to. I am hoping to utilise twitter a bit more too, using the @whipitinprogres account to explore some critical thinking.

All is still being sorted through in my head, so it will flesh out as I go. I have put together a few intentions in the 'About' tab for the time being. For now, if you are reading this, don't expect much and just let it happen.
