TWO MONTHS...
It's been almost 2 months since my last entry. A lot of this had to do with my lack of internet as well so much turmoil in my schedule. I'm happy to report that I hope all this will change. I have missed the good that journaling does for me. I now have internet at home and am working to stabilize my schedule as well as work on my time management,
I never realized how intense my dependence on the internet was until 2 days ago when I finally got "connected". I've rediscovered my love for the "radio" feature on iTunes which not only gives me plenty of bluegrass music channels but also graces me with static-less NPR simulcasts. Ahhh....it feels good to be an adult!
But enough of the little stuff. I've been thinking a lot about this first journal entry. When I started it many years ago, it didn't matter if it was public because most of the people I was writing about didn't read it. Fast forward several years later and that is not the case. It is very important for me to not make it private since this can only snowball into old habits that I have worked hard to break. However, I've noticed myself censoring myself little by little for fear of someone taking something the wrong way or mistaking my rants and raves for cowardly attacks.
It's a very tough decision. In my heart of hearts though....I know I can't make this journal private. I also know I can't censor myself. This cannot serve as a personal archive if I don't speak the truth. And so - there you have it. With the wonders of social networking this journal is no longer a necessity with keeping up to date with my goings-on. So, please read at your own risk. If you're merely concerned with the latest and greatest, I assure that my facebook will leave you satisfied.
And...here we go:
The rest of the entry was deleted. Here's to keeping it all bottled up inside!
Bottoms up, kids!
