(no subject)
Been awhile since I've been here.
I have had a journalling workbook since December, which was recommended to me by the docs at the ed program I did, and have never picked it up until now.
I am going to work on some of the exercises in this space--I may switch to paper journalling, can't deny the pen-hand-paper connection, but for today, I want to start, and now.
-----------------------------------------
I am a person who...generally finished what she starts.
If I had time I would...go to India.
I am grateful for...having gotten my mind (mostly) back. A roof over my head. Financial independence. Loving friends. Family that care about me. Coffee. Books. Hot baths. Tomas.
Journal writing is...good for me. A place for me.
When I think about writing a journal, I...
-think of childhood, when I always, always kept one, from age 4 or 5 until I was 19. I always wanted to be a writer, and somehow thought these journals would be useful to look back on, to use for material, or even to give my own kids one day. Now, i am a writer, and I have cut myself off from this practice over the past 5 or so years.
-feel vaguely worried/nervous/apprehensive.
-am twigged to think of seasoned old writers
The most important things to do right now are...
-relax
-not think too much
-?
The biggest challenges I am facing right now are...
-the re-appearance of symptoms
-imminent breakup with Dom
-attempted over-involvement of parents
