New Year’s Resolution for this Blog
I haven't written on this place for too long. The reason seems to an unhealthy kind of perfectionism that has crept into my mind. The language, my own ramshackle version of English I am stuck with (because otherwise my audience would be decimated) - I fail to romanticize it anymore, I think it looks bleak ...
