Must start writing again.
I’m not a writer, but it just feels like I lose things when I don’t write them down. I want to document certain things that happen in my life. Not everything—just things that I think I might want to go back and read at some point. Things that I may have forgotten about…things that are cyclical or that I can learn from or get a laugh out of or remember the feeling that I was feeling at a particular moment in time.
I would like to say that I learn from my mistakes. But many times, I see that I am a creature of habit—falling back into old ways and repeating stupid mistakes over and over again. I want to learn. I want to become a better person. I would even like to become a better writer.
So I’m going to start yet another diary!!
I’ve lost count of the diaries I’ve had on this site. I’ve had secret ones and not-so-secret ones (much to my dismay!)…I’ve created a couple that I never ever wrote in…it’s just that I’d think of the perfect name and title, only to forget the name or the password a few days later and lose interest and start another.
I’ve kept paper journals for periods of time spanning most of my life. Off and on. I truly love going back and reading….and laughing! It seems that the times when I keep up with my journals are the times when I am going through some kind of dramatic change: a move, a breakup, school, travels, etc.
So what’s going on this time? Well, lots! I feel like I have so much to write detail-wise!! But the major things happening in my life right now are as follows:
(1) I have moved to a new apartment!! I am thrilled! It’s in an old house in a beautiful part of town. The place is so charming—with hardwood floors and old fixtures. I have been busy unpacking boxes the last few days. I’ve only met one of my neighbors, but hope to meet everyone else soon (I think there are 7 of us in all). More details to follow!!
(2) I have been promoted at work. I have a new title and more responsibility. I know it’s going to be a wild ride for a while as I figure out what the hell I’m doing. There is a slot in the org. chart for me to get another assistant in addition to the clerical person that I have, but who knows how long that will take? I’m sure as the weeks go by that I’m going to be needing a place to vent. This place will be much better than taking it out on someone here at work!
(3) I am very single…and sort of poking my head “out there”. I have gone through a break-up and the move of my last love and the mixed signals of a guy who was a friend who wanted to be more than a friend who freaked out when I decided that I liked him back. What a fiasco! Dating sucks, but it sure can be exciting! Or if nothing else, it’s something to write about….another reason for a new diary!!
So there’s a start. I have plenty of topics! I have also decided that I will try to make this diary for me alone. I’m sure that there will be some private entries…who knows, this whole diary may go private at any point in time. But let’s just see how things work out.
I’m not sure about the note leaving thing. I may not be that active about leaving notes around here until I feel comfortable about it. There is someone who is still in my life who knows how to find me here and that’s through my notes that I leave in my favorites’ diaries. I still read my faves on a daily basis, but I’m going to have to figure this out as a I go along.
Until later…
