New Journal!

[stillblueeyes]

I am resurrecting this journal that I started writing in, in 2001, and stopped, in 2006. I initially started this journal to get connected with people while I was struggling to find friends and a support network my first year of college. I especially struggled with being able to accept myself as a human being, because I am gay and was in the closet during my first year of college. From the beginning of college, until I graduated in 2007, my journal was basically the journey of my life. Exploration, independence, finding a life partner, and becoming successful were all part of this. I also attribute my successes to the friends who supported me on LiveJournal early on. They contributed to my life more than they know. In 2006, I lost interest in writing and decided that I didn't need a LiveJournal. Since I graduated college, and now have a full time job as a tax accountant, my life has shifted in a new direction, and I guess, in a way, I've grown up substantially. However, I miss the people I used to write back and forth with, and I miss the opportunity to meet new people who either need support, or are in the place I'm at now. Now in September 2009, I am bringing my journal back to life again.

This journal will be private, and I will give serious thought to anyone I add, because when allowing someone to read my journal, I will be in essence giving them access to a very personal part of my life. For the sake of my personal life and my job, do not be offended if I decide not to add you. It's nothing personal.

Thanks,

Kevin
