(no subject)
its been ages since i've posted here. i'm kind of taking a break from internet journal writing. there is a whole bunch of self-care work that i need to do that i just can't write about on the internet for the world to see. so i bought a regular old journal and filled it up in a matter of like two weeks. but that's okay. there is a lot of stuff i have to get off my chest.
one thing that i am trying to do is more creative writing. there was a time in my life when writing was the only thing i could see myself doing in the world. and i loved it. but then everyone seemed to say that i could never make any money in it and i had such a big brain i could probably use it to do something more profitable.
well ha! to them because now i'm a grad student getting a PhD in Women's Studies and I'm sure they wished I'd pursued something else instead too! (oh my passive aggressive is coming out. i'll probably need to journal about this later on.)
anyway! i want to get back to writing. this is as good a forum as any. but be warned. i'm not necessarily posting for criticism. i want writing to be fun for me. i don't care about capitalizing or if i misspell a word. support and love are much appreciated editing however will be asked for when it is wanted. (in my mind that sounds so harsh but I know i'm just exercising my right to establish boundaries in my own space.)
i don't have anything i want to write today (well i have some ideas but i don't feel like writing them today.) but soon.
