Purpose of My LJ ...
Why did I choose to begin a livejournal? One of the hardest things for me to do is let people in and really get to know the real me. I have many friends but very few know intimate details about me. I love to meet new people but very few will I be an open book and openly welcome into my life. In my state of mind, letting someone completely in and letting them know every single aspect of me, makes me feel vulnerable and not in control.
That's one of the reasons I have started this LiveJournal. It's a way of teaching myself or actually forcing myself, however you'd like to view it, to open up and let others in. Hopefully, as time goes on, I will realize that letting someone in does not make me feel more vulnerable but instead more comforted.
