Ok, I made the leap. This is new for me. I'm not used to exposing so much of ME in such a public forum...or so I thought. Actually, now that I think about it, I do it all the time. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter...I've been slowly adding them to my daily activities. I was hesitant to start a blog, as I am an old fashioned gal when it comes to journaling. My journaling life has consisted of the on-again, off-again spurts of inspiration. Always private, I'd lock myself in my room as a teenager, light a candle, put on my favorite "mood-music" (a.k.a. The Cure, DM, New Order, Peter Murphy, The Smiths, or the like) and scribble away madly, as if I were some modern day Virginia Woolf. As the years progressed, my journaling took the form of drawings, paintings, collages, or photo albums. Now, I have decided that it is time to express myself in word, thought, ideas, and action. I still hold on to my old journals, and I have a couple of new ones now, for myself...they will physically hold the thoughts that I do not need to share.
"The beauty of the world which is so soon to perish, has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder." --Virginia Woolf
