The first few days of January, I mass-privated all my old entries so I could have a fresh start writing this year. Intentionally, this was so I would make more interesting observations, tales, discoveries and reflections than I had been - my entries all seemed to drizzle into uninspiring puddles of self-narration which even I got bored of reading. I also realised I wasn't being entirely honest in my entries - I'd hide aspects of myself so I wouldn't offend or disappoint people, when really I want to be able to use my journal as a record of who I genuinely am and what I genuinely think. That also meant I didn't feel I was really getting to know my f-list properly, or they me, which I really want to do. But clean slates are pretty daunting so I left my fresh-faced journal to gather cobwebs until I felt I had something worth documenting and, since then, so much happened all at once that making one long update seemed even more boring than the hogwash I was writing before.
So, this entry is me biting the bullet and getting back into the swing of journaling and getting to know my f-list properly. From now on, my entries are going to be an Honest me. I'm going to talk about parts of my character and life I haven't spoken about online before - which is definitely going to be difficult and scary for me, and possibly a bit surprising for some of my closer and longer-term friends who read this.
Seeing as I'm not sure how much many of you know about me, it'd be great if you could ask me any questions at all you fancy me answering from the basics to more personal/private bits of my life. I'll answer anything at all completely honestly, and maybe you could tell me a bit about yourself as well. Regardless of how long we've known each other, you've been on my f-list or how little or much we've spoken in the past, I'd really appreciate your comments ♥
fresh start,
new
