I am out of here!
I shredded my past today.
I have been keeping a journal since I was 13 years old and from time to time, I would go back and read it…well…I am not going to leave it in storage NOR am I going to haul it on my trip….so I did the next best thing…..I shredded them all. I thought I would read them before I shredded them, but for the first time in my life, I cringed as I read excerpts from the past. Once I was done, it was so freeing.
I stopped journaling a few years ago….around the time I joined this site….guess you guys became my dear diary. Still, I don’t have the same love, the same connection with the site I once had. Maybe it’s the fact that my current circumstances do not allow me to be on here regularly. Maybe it’s the fact that I log on with anticipation to read the comments and messages my buddies have left, only to find an empty mailbox and a few comments. NOT that I don’t appreciate the comments that I do get and not that I realize that in order to have buddies I have to BE a buddy. I realize that I haven’t been around much and I guess I expect the same understanding that I have of my fellow buddies. I guess my expectations are too high. So, like my journal, it’s time to leave the site.
Of course, I have made some wonderful friends and I would like to stay in touch with those friends….YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE….I will keep the account active until the end of the month….to give everyone a chance to e-mail me their e-mail addresses, so we can stay in touch.
If you would like to stay in touch, please let’s e-mail eachother…send me a private message with your e-mail address.
To everyone, I wish you much health and happiness in your lives, and THANK YOU so much for the love and support you have given me in the last 2-1/2 years!
