I don't know if you noticed (I don't know how many people read this journal anymore), but I have been in a kind of hibernation for over a year now. Just recently, I have found myself inspired to write again. My LiveJournal allows me to stay true to myself: it gives me an excuse to write. It gives me great pleasure to share my writing (and sometimes my readings) with others. Through writing I am able to express the deepest, most actualized parts of myself. I am forever learning and growing, so I may not always express myself perfectly. But perfection was never the goal anyway. Imperfection is beautiful.

After three unhealthy long-term relationships with several short-term relationships in between, I am finally single again. Low self-esteem and lack of experience attracted me to these unhealthy relationships. Only once I have rebuilt my self-confidence and learned a lot more about people will I be attracted to a healthy serious relationship. By then, I may not even want one. I have come to the realization that a serious romantic relationship is not something that I should strive for.
